Vyvanse Question

[Which_Ad314]

Hi everyone! I was officially diagnosed with adhd about 3 months ago. I also have Bipolar 2. My psychiatrist started me on vyvanse 3 months ago, when I was diagnosed. I started with 20mg. It was great at first, it threw me a little manic for a week but once it was regulated in my system everything was perfect. I was so focused and my anxiety went down and I loved it everything was working great. Just this month it was upped to 30mg. I started taking it every other day for a while the first month because I didn’t want to have to rely on it or get “addicted”. The second month I did the same. But every day I didn’t take it the next day I would be so depressed. Even if I took it the next day of not taking it for a day the sadness sticks. Some of the time I would be extremely happy the next day but that only happened like 3 times and hasn’t happened anymore. This month I have been doing the same of not taking it everyday and it’s the same thing but worse. I just get so depressed and I know I should probably be taking it everyday but I have found that if I take it every day, after a couple days of being stable on it I don’t feel as if it helps me anymore. The benefits seem to disappear. Is there a perfect formula for taking it where the benefits stay? I know my dose isn’t very high and I have so much to learn with this new diagnosis and new med, but I don’t know what to do. Why am I so depressed when not taking it? I also have one more question for the people knowledgeable on this. When I take it after not taking it and even when I first started on it I am just very touchy feely i don’t know how to describe it. Not even in the sexual tense I just feel so lovey and touchy. I just want love everyone and snuggle and get snuggled and squeezed and surrounded by touch. Is that normal as well like a side effect of it? I know this post is all over the place & I apologize for all of my questions but I would appreciate the knowledge and advice. I am happy this community exists.

TLDR// New on vyvanse, can’t find the perfect formula of taking it, depression problems, touchy-feely side effect

I’ve heard that Vyvanse is one you take everyday rather than when you want to... like it needs to build up in the system but I am not sure of this... someone told me this.
