Experiences with Vyvanse

As far as how it feels, once I hit my correct dose (60mg/day) it literally doesn't feel like anything. I just take it in the morning and I don't notice it all day long, and then it wears off at night and I get tired. I can take naps on it, eat on it, it's like I'm just a normal functioning person. From what I've heard from many clinicians...

How it worked until I hit my proper dose: about 45 minutes after I took the pill (7:30), like clockwork, I would feel a bit of that tightness in my stomach that indicated I needed to quickly eat something or else I may not be able to for the next 4 or 5 hours. About 15 minutes after that, also like clockwork, I would have a bit of activity in my pores, though I wouldn't really call it sweating (after the first week of the first doses, anyway), they just opened... + and I would feel a bit of a bump of energy that came from within. + I would also feel a slight bump of anxiety, as if I had just remembered that I had previously forgotten something. This usually resulted in me jumping up and getting something done, because I just felt like I had something I'd forgotten that I needed to do. Every 4 hours throughout the day I would get another little one of these waves of energy and then the last three waves at the end of the day would feel progressively less and there would be progressively less time between, such that after the third one, my energy level would drop off. Each successive way of made me feel a bit more tired than the last, and reminded me that my day was coming to an end so I needed to wrap up my activities. The bruxism would also begin to return, that's my ability to focus attention almost entirely fell off. Conversations would get filled with tangents again, and I would forget what I was doing in the middle of doing it because I started doing something else. But, like I said, as soon as I went from 50 mg to 60 mg, the first day I thought something might be wrong because I didn't feel any of the waves of energy, but by midday I realized I'd been more productive than before and had zero of the other side effects or breakthrough symptoms.

Oh! ★ 𝑰𝒕 𝑮𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑻𝑳𝒀 𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒓𝒖𝒙𝒊𝒔𝒎 I have been grinding my teeth to such an extent that I destroyed two molars, then cracked the crowns which fixed them, then popped off their replacements, shattered a wisdom tooth, and shattered two more molars since then. Every day I would awake with that film covering the inside of my mouth that results from creating negative pressure, and a sore jaw all the way up into my temples. My mother used to wake at night in her sleep from the sound of my teeth grinding in the room across the hall. I know it's warned that stim meds can create or exacerbate this, but I stand here to tell you that, 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩: 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙈𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙈𝙖𝙮 𝙑𝙖𝙧𝙮.

Vyvanse turned out to be the glass slipper for my mental health, and life in general. I tried Adderall when I was younger, but ended up abusing it pretty badly. Knowing that I cannot do those things with this version of the stimulant I 𝙨𝙤 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 is a safety net for success in its own right, but that aside: ★ 𝐈𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. ★ 𝐈𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐲–𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲.

Same

Works very well plus no bad side effects for me
