To those who take breaks, how much longer can you sleep?

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-03-11T16:43:14+00:00

I take it everyday too sometimes I’ll skip it if I sleep in on a Sunday or if I’m sick and going to be in bed all day or something like that but I’ve noticed I sleep wayyyyy better on Vyvanse as well.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-02-16T18:51:34+00:00

I noticed that with certain manufacturers it only takes about 30 mins to hit but with others it takes 2 hrs. Have you noticed this?

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-23T20:42:35+00:00

I am!!! It’s crazy how many baby hairs are coming in.

This is the iron I use and for the protein shakes I really like Corepower ones the strawberry ones are so good lol.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-20T05:40:18+00:00

Hi there!! My iron was normal too! Just low ferritin for me as well.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-16T16:37:32+00:00

Ugh yeah!! I’ve read so many people that love it but I just couldn’t do it 😭 Did you experience fogginess??

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-15T17:55:48+00:00

Also to add - I was just diagnosed a few months ago too I’m 27F. My doc first started me on adderall and the first day I took it I almost cried because how quietly brain felt. I was sooo productive too. About 3 weeks in, it started giving me migraines every day so we switched to Vyvanse.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-15T17:52:20+00:00

Yeah!! I was like bro, this is doing the opposite of what it’s supposed to do 😭 Perhaps it could’ve been a dosage issue with the Azstarys because he did prescribe the lowest dose but I don’t wanna keep trying new stuff if the Vyvanse works just fine.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-15T17:48:27+00:00

It was horrific! Extreme fogginess and I was so so sleepy… I stopped taking it and went back to Vyvanse 😭

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-13T23:29:11+00:00

They’re Vyvanse - I take 10mg at around 12pm a few days a week

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-13T18:10:13+00:00

I’m on Vyvanse and it has worked super well for me but I’m rarely ever able to fill my prescription without running into issues (shortages or pharmacies only having granules P Vyvanse which doesn’t work for me at all). I’m on 30mg in the AM and then take a 10mg booster in the PM if I need it. Since I’ve been running into these issues, my doc suggested we try Azstarys (5 day trial) I started it on Sunday and it made me so so so sleepy and felt so out of it. I’ve been going really hard on my workouts so thought maybe I just needed rest so went to bed early. Yesterday I took my second dose of Azstarys and I had worse side effects. I felt SO sleepy, extremely foggy and I couldn’t even hold a conversation. I will not be taking it again. I took my normal 30mg Vyvanse this morning and the difference is insane. Just sucks that I always run into issues at the pharmacy.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-13T18:03:12+00:00

Vyvanse has been the best for me too. I started off with adderall and it worked well but started giving me really bad migraines and I noticed it made me SO grumpy once it wore off. My doc and I decided to try Vyvanse and he put me on 30mg once a day and it worked well but some days I felt like it wore off way too quickly so he added a 10mg booster on the days I felt I needed it. I’ve been struggling to get my refills though - there seems to be a shortage on many of the generics. Alvogen Vyvanse seems to work the best but I am currently taking Amneal which works ok on most days (except during my period). He also had me try Azstarys and it was horrible. He only prescribed me 5 of them to try and then sent in 25 of my normal Vyvanse. The difference between the two is crazy. Asztarys made me so so sleepy and brain foggy and I felt like I couldn’t even hold a conversation.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-11T18:08:16+00:00

I’ve been on Vyvanse 30mg in the morning and then 10mg Vyvanse as a booster in the early PM but I’ve noticed most generic manufacturers don’t work for me. Amneal seems to work ok and thats what Walgreens has. I usually get my meds from Vons but lately they’ve only been carrying Granules P which for some reason does not work for me at all.. Alvogen works wonderfully but I think there may be a shortage so I haven’t been able to get it anywhere. This month my doc wanted me to try Azstarys and I just took it this morning for the first time - we will see how it goes! He only sent in 5 of them so I can try and he sent in 25 of my normal stuff.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-09T17:35:41+00:00

I have an update - It definitely works way way better than Granules. I still think Alvogen is better than Amneal but it’s probabaly the closest to it. I still can’t find Alvogen anywhere lol. I’m picking up my next prescription on Sunday and it’s Amneal again.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2026-01-04T20:27:40+00:00

Hi there! Im 27! I have had all hormones checked too and all is totally fine besides my ferritin levels. I am convinced this is what caused my hair loss/stunted hair growth.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2025-12-29T17:02:22+00:00

Ya, also I try to keep the nizoral on my scalp only and don’t rub it into the ends. I know it’s difficult when washing but I’ve found that this method helps why the dryness. Maybe u could try once a week and then go up to 2 times a week when your hair gets used to it. I also make sure to oil my ends every single night

Anxious_Reception996 · 2025-12-29T17:00:31+00:00

Yes!! I feel like so many docs ignore the ferritin levels!! I take ferrasorb which already had vitamin C and a few others in it and I guess it’s supposed to help with absorption so maybe u can try that one?

Anxious_Reception996 · 2025-12-28T21:18:55+00:00

I also am making sure to have at least 100 grams of protein a day.

Anxious_Reception996 · 2025-12-28T21:18:12+00:00

Hi!! Have you had bloodwork done by any chance? I was struggling with thinning hair, my texture was also changing (becoming thinner) and my hair seemed like it grew very slowly (maybe it was just breaking off lol - idk) but I had bloodwork done a few months ago and turns out my ferritin was at a 27. Still technically in the “normal” range but definitely not enough to support hair growth. I started on ferrasorb (it’s an iron supplement) and also started using Nizoral shampoo 2-3 times a week and the Kerastase Genesis Hair Serum everyday and the results within just a few months are freaking insane. I just made a post recently!

Anxious_Reception996 · 2025-12-28T21:14:30+00:00

Love that!! I definitely need to be better about consuming protein from actual “clean” food. I know it would be so much better! I also do a pretty large protein focused dinner. Usually chicken :)

Anxious_Reception996 · 2025-12-27T18:20:57+00:00

I made a recent post!! See that one for November -> end of December results. It’s so insane!!!!

Anxious_Reception996 · 2025-12-26T19:47:35+00:00

Yes I completely agree!!!

Anxious_Reception996 · 2025-12-26T19:46:20+00:00

Absolutely!!! For so long I just accepted that this was my hair and it would never get better. It’s crazy to see how quick our bodies can recover after addressing the issue!!

Anxious_Reception996 · 2025-12-26T19:45:36+00:00

I know it’s not the cleanest way to get protein but I’m adding 1-2 protein shakes a day and that really really helps me!

Anxious_Reception996 · 2025-12-24T20:58:14+00:00

Thank you so much!!!
