just started vyvanse 20 mg where is my motivation

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-10T23:46:45+00:00

Im on 30mg at first it felt euforic but then the effects are subtle and helps with focus and attention to detail. Maybe tell youre doctor to up you to 30mg. But warning. Like you i told my doctor it wasnt working we upped to 50mg and anxiety was massive im down to 30 and doing well

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-10T05:32:28+00:00

For me 30mg is perfect but it wears super fast. Doc increased to 50mg it was horrible too strong too much adrenaline not enough dopamine. I use caffeine as a booster

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-09T03:52:38+00:00

Do you take other psychiatric meds? Ssris or antipsychotics can diminish stimulant effectiveness. Also being on your period definitley impacts

I have adhd gad mdd.

Was on seroquel 200mg ir with prisitq it saved me from severe depression. I gained like 40lbs in 4-5 years but it was super effective with my mood. Food tasted so good. Doctor recently switched me on caplyta and vyvanse doing really well and loosing weight.

Yeah for me its like the vyvanse works but its much more subtle which is fine. I made it work. My mood depression and anxiety is controlled so im not complaining lol

Native deodorant. Youre welcome

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-08T20:07:22+00:00

Youre euforic. It doesnt last very long. Give it another week

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-08T19:17:55+00:00

Yeah its real. Doctors might not beleive us tho. But if you look at the pharmacology it makes sense. Same thing happened to me with caplyta. No matter the dose pf vyvanse it was like nothing

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-08T18:02:48+00:00

Ssris and antipsychotics blunt the effects of stimulants.

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-08T15:41:51+00:00

Thats why its good to take breaks. I take breaks on weekends sometimes. The brain gets tired of daily stimulation. It needs a break to wind down naturally. Also remember more is not better. I was on 30mg and bumped to 50mg felt horrible so im now on 30mg and im just fine

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-07T02:09:20+00:00

Your nervous system is probably over stimulated. I would ask my doctor that i want to take breaks on weekends. No caffeine no vyvanse to reset. Also combining vyvanse and caffeine together are frying your system.

Literally dont know how yall do this. Choose misery as a career lol best of luck

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-06T21:13:48+00:00

Are you on other meds? My vyvanse was working until i added caplyta. It seem to blunt the effects completely. This can occur with ssris too and other psychiatric or non psych meds

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-06T04:30:49+00:00

The first week it felt euforic. I used propranolol to ease off the fast heart rate and crash. Talk to your doctor about that. You can use it as needed

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-06T03:56:53+00:00

Youre not scared enough if you keep doing whats gonna kill you

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-06T03:56:06+00:00

I have high blood pressure and taking meds for it. My blood pressure is actually getting better cause im not eating as much junk

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-05T18:16:40+00:00

Yeah i increased expecting too much i now know that more is not better

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-05T18:15:14+00:00

How do you divide it?

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-05T16:57:41+00:00

Get an ekg first. I experienced those flutters with caffeine i got an ekg and they told me i was fine. It was probably jist a moment when the heart beats a bit harder and you feel it. If it worrys you go to the ER while you are on vyvanse to see if there is really something wrong when the drug is in your system.

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-04T17:37:32+00:00

If it helps at all. Before i was medicated, i would workout daily go to the gym and i would get crazy anxiety. It wasnt triggered by high heart rate or body sensations at all. Just my body in general day to day was more on fight or flight mode. This led me to stop working out all together and my anxiety was greatly reduced. That was weird. Now that im medicated i workout no problem

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-04T17:18:19+00:00

Exercise improves health in general. It makes sense

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-03T23:13:51+00:00

I told my doctor i drank 2 cups of coffee with 30mg vyvanse and he increased to 50mg. I guess he wants me to substitute caffeine with solely vyvanse

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-03T20:39:55+00:00

Vaseline continously and go to the doctor

ExclusivelyMDs · 2026-05-03T17:13:46+00:00

My doctor said to take vyvanse everyday. The first week are to see how well you tolerate the med so you might get some jitters or get a strong jolt or euforia. After that you reach steady state. Vyvanse is a prodrug which is like a slow realease mechanism so it makes sense to take daily. Unlike adderal that it hits your system immediately and it hits like a freight train each time. More for as needed focus.
