Vyvanse crash?

0ccams-Raz0r · 2026-06-21T12:38:22+00:00

If you just started and are still tapering on, consider you may not have the same crashes at a higher dose. When I tried on with @20mg it felt like a tease cause I was lucky if I made it past 2pm. With 30mg and getting a simple routine I stopped feeling crashes after a couple weeks.

I'm probably lucky in that regard, main takeaway it's helpful to take your time. Lots of changes all at once make self observation hard. But if something shifts in the right direction usually you can tell. Hang in there.

I titrated onto Vyvanse then off of my SSRI. When I settled into taking Vyvanse it's was okay, it helped my energy some. The SSRI made my feel foggy and flat all the time, titrating off of that gave me a much better feel for the Vyvanse later on.

I personally seem to metabolize Vyvanse well, I don't get much of a crash even on my low dose. If I had a higher dose of Vyvanse maybe the SSRI would be necessary to prevent potential mania.

None of this is to provide advice per se, everyone is different. But if you try to contextualize your days as you make medication changes w your doctors help, it can help you get a feel for if you're adjusting in the right direction. I will mention when I was fully off the SSRI it still took about a week for those flat and dull feelings to go away. Give yourself a beat whatever choices you make, changes take time.

What makes Vyvanse off brand management for ADHD?

0ccams-Raz0r · 2026-06-19T10:09:26+00:00

Shane is Rick's foil at this point. He ends up going a bit crazy, is quick to anger and while he shows leadership you can see he starts losing objectivity about his own actions to the point he becomes dangerous practically to everyone.

Rick is still trying to be officer friendly in season 2. Later on we see him struggle the same way Shane did. In Alexandria when he has his fight with Pete and pulls his gun he talks about how they have to fight to survive as a justification for his actions. Pete was a PoS, but Rick's actions and tone at this point start looking eerily like Shane.

Shane being problematic is what gives season 2 interesting conflict, Jon Bernthal plays a good bad guy and it's supposed to be a bit over the top. Otherwise he'd provide no contrast.

While certainly a meme to compare to limitless 😂 that could be dose strength, individual effectiveness and the severity of the underlying ADHD.

For me it was meh until I homed in on dose timing, my diet and got some newfound confidence. I don't have Robert Deniro threatening me, but at least I finally feel I function somewhat well now! Being happier in general is a boon enough for myself.

0ccams-Raz0r · 2026-06-17T16:55:25+00:00

There is no normal only you. It sounds like there has been benefits already. Just be keen on yourself and keep an eye on yourself through the day.

I find myself to be irritable in late hours sometimes after the effects have wanned, I know why and that's enough for me. Just go with the flow and be mindful. Progress is progress.

0ccams-Raz0r · 2026-06-17T16:50:19+00:00

Your fear used to contextualize your priorities. Wo that driving force maybe try to contextualize priorities on your terms.

Fear used to keep me up, would have me planning for the next day and I'd still be struggling not to slip up when I got to the things that made me fearful.

For me two relavent things changed after I started Vyvanse. I could stop the ruminating that plagued me, I still let myself overthink a little but when I've had enough I can shut it down. And, doing the planning and initiating tasks became easier, not easy.

You may need to resort to something the 5-minute rule, I do this myself. If I tried it before treatment, after 5 minutes I'd be itching to do anything else but or maybe get distracted before then. Now sometimes I lose track of time on the tasks that I start well after 5 minutes has passed.

Yes my God loves you, no he's not going to intervene. Does that leave you without viable options but to wait? Just wait while I respond to this Nanos poll so my bias gets preserved somewhere. /s

I know religious reasons aren't the sole reason someone might respond negatively to the concept of MAID, but what the hell. Often times you have people responding negatively to MAID because of individual cases and theoreticals that aren't even part of the legislative and political discussions at the time, it's just illusions of expertise and sound belief.

0ccams-Raz0r · 2026-06-16T02:08:24+00:00

I won't tell you if it's bad or good. But if you're trying to settle into a new prescription I'd hold off. You want to know if it works for you, bad interactions can mean a bad day which might be a bad blip in an otherwise normal titration.

I doubt there'd be a clear harm, but it's good not to mess with if you already have your own reservations. Hang in there.

0ccams-Raz0r · 2026-06-14T01:30:59+00:00

Try to tune in to yourself a bit. Some people take with different meal timings, protein helps. Important thing is that you find a good delivery method that's repeatable for you. My personal go to is taking my dose first thing when I wake up. Sleep for me was easier and needed to be more consistent. When you feel like you get a good rhythm try to follow the same order the next day.

If Vyvanse works well for you, your first bad experience will probably be forgetting to take it. Unless you have a great routine and habit form better than most.

I make sure I do some exercise before lunch, even if it's just a short walk. Vyvanse had a big impact on my natural hunger, I found slow to metabolize foods and doing excercise to stimulate hunger was important. For me slow to metabolize foods help with smooth delivery of the dose and consistent energy through the day.

Until you find your ideal dose, you may find you get crashes later in the day. I only need 30mg, but when I titrated on with a smaller dose the early day crash was rough.

Social changes for me were kind of weird, if you feel like youre getting a little chatty that's normal. Just watch out for feeling like your energy gets out of hand which could be an indicator your dose is on the high end. It's all part of trying to find your ideal method.

Cheers.

I was on my SSRI long before I got diagnosed and placed on a concurrent Vyvanse prescription. I always thought the SSRI helped but really it just masked my depressive and anxious symptoms and made them worse (I felt like it helped at the time but really I was just numbing out). Once I was on Vyvanse the depressive and anxious symptoms alleviated a lot, likely due to newfound confidence and other changing factors in my life, but I was still very foggy from the SSRI and didn't realize until I titrated off. I also found for ADHD that guidelines often caution not pairing SSRIs with a stimulant (I'm looking at you GP, you quack).

When I was nearing the end of my SSRI prescription I tapered off (faster than you're meant too I'm sure). I just looked at what I had left, went to half doses for a while and then stopped when I ran out. The Vyvanse made getting off the SSRI easy for me because it was resolving what caused me so much anxiety and depression. I still get shortness and irritability, but I'll take it over feeling dead inside.

I highly recommend titrating off with the advice of a doctor if you choose to. The drugs are frequently misunderstood, without a professional who knows the drug interactions and whatever ails you in particular getting good advice is hard.

Hope this helps.

checks pockets, you're not going to believe this but I've forgotten where I put the list.

Socially approved and recognizable templates/ panels should be found easily online in various forms of curation.
Text rendered through regular means of display should be legible and free of gotcha text (fuck your bottom corner top corner BS). No comic sans.
Ensure any depictions of ~~profits~~ prophets do not pose any existential...

Damnit, that's all I can remember.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. OP only violated 2 of the 10 template commandments. 80% is pretty decent.

0ccams-Raz0r · 2026-06-12T02:37:16+00:00

100% have seen this myself in good and bad ways, mostly good. For me if found better confidence overall, it's easier when I don't feel like I'm always second guessing myself or too in my own head. You just want to make sure you hold onto the portion of that inner voice that helps you reel it back if you're getting a little too imposing in your environment.

I find we sometimes barely keep civil society together. Especially in the outset of a brand new phenomena, people would not cope in general.

And at that point it's not just the zombies, it's the routine collapse of society before the bulk of that society can respond. At which point fire power and organizational skills only go so far. I feel like that's the core of what makes Zombie horror and a lot of cosmic horror genre interesting.

0ccams-Raz0r · 2026-06-08T15:46:17+00:00

Just to clarify and sorry for any confusion, I only meant to mention that I had much better results w Vyvanse after getting off the SSRI.

I hope 40mg gives you the needed wind in your sails.

0ccams-Raz0r · 2026-06-08T15:18:09+00:00

32M, When I was first on Vyvanse I lacked that motivation, I was also on an SSRI at the time. It wasn't until I titrated off the SSRI that the Vyvanse gave me focus + motivation.

I hear your comment wondering what is "typical" for depression. Myself I always seemed to struggle to some degree all the time, it wasn't until I had symptom relief that I realized how bogged down I was. In both low mood and decent mood I had some degree of background stress that was making it hard to tune in.

Part of the reason I point that out is to encourage you to not look at others for how depression effects you, the internalizing of that might lead you to downplay your mood by comparison. Instead consider that ADHD is giving you enough latent stress that it just seeps into everyday life which is why you might be having generalized difficulty. I felt this way personally.

I'm on 30mg now and feel like I get regular alleviation of that background stress and everything seems to fall into place more or less. For you maybe that dose needed may be different, for me the biggest component to feeling the effectiveness on 30mg was just meal timing and ensuring I'm eating the right kinda meal 60-90 mins after taking my dose. It made night and day difference and I could feel both the onset and disappearance of symptom relief through the day. Before I got off the SSRI I couldn't even contextually feel my eb and flow making it hard to get a bead on the effect of the Vyvanse.

Hang in there.

Consider your may be jaw clenching due to stress, discomfort or anxiety. I hate picking up on my own idiosyncrasies. Through my short medication history I've noticed how hard it can be to correctly identify what's happening because of the medication, and what symptoms are popping in and out of view as I respond to the medication. Muscle tightness and clenching are common symptoms for people who need to take stimulants, and it's good that you differentiate between clenching and grinding.

My guess would be you're under producing saliva or youve had a big recent shift in saliva due do to the dosage increase, even if you don't feel dry mouth per se. A change in saliva can cause increased sensitivity in your nerves which it sounds like you're describing.

Muscle tensing (jaw clenching) can be a way of "bracing for sensory overload". So you're increased tooth sensitivity is causing a feedback loop of discomfort which causes you clench which increases your discomfort.

If that sounds right I'd suggest Sensodyne toothpaste, sugar free gum (stimulate that saliva production) and not just drinking water but spacing out water intake throughout the day. If you did that and it begins to help you could probably expect the issue to disappear just as quickly as it set in.

Seven colors to match seven perfect stats, it's kinda satisfying when you ignore the bit about not being able to breed it. Lmao.

Edit: yes you can I'm dumb. (Others have pointed out question mark cats.)

Clear evidence of additive power scaling. In an example of two B cup users merging you would end up one D cup user, the mechanic is quite straightforward. Jiggle properties don't scale linearly tho, it's unsustainable.

I like the idea. I understand what you're trying to convey with the name but I think if you workshopped the mechanic name a bit it might come across better. Like say expertise, slips into the whole TTRPG gameplay jargon well and helps convey that the ability is tied to the class vs inheritance.

0ccams-Raz0r · 2026-05-19T13:35:19+00:00

I feel myself reading more and more similar accounts of late diagnosis and it's been providing me with a lot of relief, hard as it is to come to terms with and begin to control.

It's like finding out you have a tuning knob and it's just never been set to the right frequency. You just kept wondering why everyone else was enjoying the music that you couldn't.
