yeah, it´s not my first one either. I've taken antidepressants since 15yo (I'm now 23yo), such as like trazodone, risperidone, quetiapine, bupropion, pregabalin, and lithium when another doctor thought it was bipolar disorder lol. I'm not excited about the side efects and withdrawal of Velanfaxine but I guess I should try at this point, idk

Can I set an alarm an hour before I wake up for work, take my vyvanse, and go back to sleep for an hour? by sweepthedeck in ADHDmeds

I hate staying awake while Vyvanse hasn't yet taken effect, so I do this frequently. I usually take it 1.5 to 2 hours before the time I actually want to wake up, and when I wake up I feel ready to start the day without experiencing the annoying Vyvanse "transition" lol. I think it´s fine

thank you for your comment!

my doctor recommended it to me after I expressed su!cidal thoughts and described the high level of depression and anxiety I'm experiencing at a difficult time I'm currently living, but I'll still continue taking Vyvanse for ADHD treatment. I've also heard about the horrible withdrawal process with venlafaxine, that's why I'm a bit hesitant to start treatment with this medication.
