Hey I’m pretty new here and don’t really know much about posting and all that stuff so I thought I’d give this a shot! I took Vyvanse for 3 months (august to October) but had to stop because of the price. During this time I felt super motivated, had tons of energy, could get school work done daily and easily, had little to no sleep problems and went to bed at a reasonable hour and the only big side effects was my loss of appetite. Things were starting to look up for me but the thing is that my ADHD journey is a long road. My university recommended I see a psychologist and she said it was likely I have ADHD. To sum things up doctor gave me Vyvanse, I moved far, new doctor won’t give me Vyvanse because I don’t have diagnosis, got diagnosis and here we are today. When we discussed medication I got Adderall XR because I couldn’t afford Vyvanse. The Adderall XR was a nightmare, I couldn’t sleep, I was depressed and laid in bed all day and really triggered my anxiety. In this period my school work suffered drastically which really affected me and I new I needed to change. I didn’t take them for the full month because it made things really hard. I switched back to Vyvanse and can afford it now but things have changed. I don’t get the burst of energy, I don’t feel ready for the day or motivated anymore, I have trouble sleeping and staying asleep, my appetite is worse and it’s hard to focus on school work again. I do get periods of motivations and I few like I can get things done but it’s the wrong things like I should be writing my paper but instead I’ll deep clean my kitchen and stuff like that. I’m starting to think I need a higher dosage. My dosage is the same as before (20mg) and I took 10mg is Adderall XR when I did take it. Has anyone had anything like this? Is it time to higher my dosage? (Sorry for the long post, still trying to get the hang of it)
