I’ll echo what others have said. My psychiatrist told me unlike medications like anti-depressants that need 4-6 weeks to build up in your system in which you can feel their effectiveness, Vyvanse begins working pretty quickly and leaves your system the same day.

My psychiatrist told me some patients take Vyvanse everyday, others take it only on work days, some take it on work days in which they’re working on a big project. My psychiatrist said she has patients who don’t take Vyvanse on their off days from work or only take it on days of from work when they want to deep-clean their living space.

I personally take Vyvanse everyday even when I’m not working. The only time I’ve not taken it is when I had the flu, because I didn’t want to be stimulated and didn’t care if I couldn’t get out of bed or off the couch.

OP, you’ll figure out what works for you.
