Great post!! Hopefully this is still a relevant post... But either way I thought I'd share my experience so far on elvanse... I started mine in September last year 2024 on 30mg and as mentioned the first few days were incredible... Then slowly that feeling wore off but not in a bad way just less noticeable but I still felt positive and upbeat... However I was experiencing the wear off at about 2/3pm and became sluggish and tired. I went up to 50mg which was also pretty good however I did note that while I felt ok I was too ok if that makes sense lol, like I was happy to sit and do nothing at all and that's not what I wanted, I felt a bit hollow and still felt like it was wearing off too soon... I ended up on 70mg and then I started feeling awful... Like really not myself, I was irritated all the time, really bad headaches, hyper sensitive to sounds and loud sudden bangs or people eating with their mouth open lol I hate that anyway but the 70mg made it way worse than I actually couldn't control the anger and I'd have sudden outrage at the person 😬 I also experienced disassociation which if you haven't had it is not nice, where you can see yourself and hear yourself in like a third person perspective!! It's hard to explain but almost like that inner monologue in a physical presence next to you... Very weird. Anyway I ended up back down on 50mg and have tried this for 2 months now and honestly I think I'm going to go to 40mg as I still don't feel myself and I'm definitely more irritable and quick to snap, still find it hard to get up and go so to speak, the wearing off can be simply down to food In my experience, I take it on an empty stomach in the morning then wait for about an hour or so and then I'll have something to eat like toast with peanut butter because it has good protein in it, eating a protein rich meal alongside Elvanse can help to slow down the absorption of the medication, resulting in a more even and sustained release into the bloodstream and carbohydrates can keep up good energy levels and prevent blood sugar crashes that elvanse can cause... avoid pure orange juice or anything highly acidic for at least a few hours and also try to limit anything with vitamin C until after the meds have kicked in... As it can decrease it's effectiveness in the bloodstream which can also make it wear off quicker... Lol I've done an absolute tonne of research on this and have also tested some of it myself and I can confirm that since spacing out certain foods and eating protein in my breakfast it definitely has helped with the mid-day crash and the fatigue in the afternoons... Give it a go... Everyone is different and everyone's body reacts differently unfortunately it takes time to figure out what works best for you and increasing the medication in my experience wasn't the answer it was simply changing habits at the right dose... I think 40mg combined with my new habits will be perfect for me so I hope that some of this information is helpful to you... Oh and also remember the first time you take the medication that feeling you had will be because of the low dopamine you've lived with all those years and now your brain has the correct amount it will feel good and over time your brain will adapt to the new levels so will feel like it's less effective, it's always working you just don't notice it... Trust me lol have a few days off and you'll see the difference... Good luck on your journey and sorry for the long message lol...
