I'm currently going through titration with Elvanse (Lisdexamfetamine), currently on 40mg, I'm not sure how much it helps me focus. I had a day off if it and got really bad generalised anxiety with nothing particularly happening to trigger it. So it seems to bring my anxiety under control, but I don't feel particularly more focused on it. However, it's hard to tell. What is everyone else's experience with Lisdexamfetamine? Thanks. x

One user reported that they have been on Lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse/Vyvanse) for about 6 months and it has helped them a lot, mainly with getting out of bed in the morning, and with emotional regulation. However, they also mentioned that the medication can cause them to hyperfocus on unhelpful tasks so they have to be careful to direct their energy in the right place. They still struggle a bit with distraction but generally feel they have more energy in the day to do household tasks. Another user who takes Vyvanse (lisdexamphetamines) reported that once the medication kicks in, which takes about 1.5 - 2 hours from taking them, the difference is literally unmissable.
