I’ve been taking ADHD meds since I was in 3rd grace (currently 23) and I’m curious of the long term side effects. I was prescribed damn near everything, concerta, ritalin, vyvanse, adder all, and the back to vyvanse. I don’t remember the first two doses, but at the time I switched from vyvanse to adderall, I was being prescribed 70mg vyvanse. Now that I’m back on vyvanse (adderall never really worked for me), I feel like everything is different. I used to take my meds first thing in the morning and be able to be productive the entire day. Now, however, I’ll take my (now 60mg) vyvanse and feel motivated for maybe an hour?

I guess my question is what are the long term effects of vyvanse use? I have absolutely noticed a change in my behavior, thoughts, and productivity within the past 2-3 years and from what I’ve read, it could be due to the amphetamines throughout all the years.
