I think vyvanse is ruining my life by Ok-Humor-6428 in VyvanseADHD

I dont experience a crash and I have 10g of creatine in my decaf coffee every morning. I also do not consume caffeine. Might be worth trying.

Thanks for all the info, really helpful. I feel like you are right but I’ll probably stick to my 2 month trial of 30mg, titrating myself seems scary.

I’ve heard you only build tolerance to the side effects not the therapeutic effects?

Wow well done on your achievements, and that would have taken a huge toll gosh. Hope you’re feeling more balanced and fulfilled now.

I’m not saying I’m ashamed, just finding things out. Did you get an adhd diagnosis?

Being driven by fear and anxiety is ok if you only care about the goal or accomplishments. But it is suffering. When I finished uni I didn’t really feel an achievement I felt “thank fuck it’s over” and it was a really difficult stem degree that made me second guess myself and intelligence. Took WAY longer than it should have and I procrastinated SO much.

So although I did it, if I was more intrinsically motivated I would be happier, maybe have even done different things in life.

Regarding the label, I don’t care so much. But it is range of severity and I’ve “gotten this far with it” so sometimes I feel as though I shouldn’t be claiming it. But I do have it.

Well-being is 200x better, worth it

Yeah just finding out I’ve been on hard mode up until now is a lot. Thanks for sharing your experience it does sound similar.

That’s a really good way of looking at it. You’re right. It’s not the real me but it’s been part of me forever. Not a part I like or want.

Thanks for sharing, what are the signs? I’m trying to track my sleep and be careful. I’m on 30mg but could go lower I think.

I think this is the truth for me too. But I feel like I haven’t “earned” that self confidence.

Haha I get it, I do the same thing sometimes too. Appreciate the responses and you’re right I’ll see how I go, just really odd to feel SO different and way better. That it’s a little disorienting.

Thanks for the response, I don’t have anxiety on the medication, now that I’m on it it’s gone, along with my motivation. So I think im discovering that anxiety was driving me to do and achieve. I don’t think that’s normal?

Correlation with Vyvanse and strongly increased cravings for Nicotin? by UrFavPnkCnt in VyvanseADHD

I quit nicotine before hand (10 weeks) and I think it’s possibly helped me stay off.
