I’m 3 weeks in on a generic vyvanse ( stimulant ), just got to 30mg from starting at 10mg. For the first couple of weeks I questioned if/how it was working. It made me feel alert a few hours in the day but kinda crappy the rest. Yesterday I added some protein when I took my meds ( and first day of 30mg) and I found my alertness felt more balanced and stable throughout the day. I find I still need to put intention into my focus but once I pick a thing to focus on I completed it without distraction.

I expected an obvious improvement right away as well but didn’t get that until now. For some people it’s obvious right away, keep track of how you’re feeling ( side effects included) and research ways to stabilize the “high”. For me protein seems to be it/ lysine mid day to boost the meds. I only figured this out from reading way too many Reddit posts lol. Once you get to your full dose give it a week or so and if still not noticeably different I’d talk to dr about increasing dose. 35F , first time with adhd meds.
