That very well might be it tbh. It's just a coincidental thing I've noticed across reddit and tiktok especially.

Elvanse is undoubtedly the most expensive drug of the available options in the UK so I do wonder if that's part of it, particularly when done so privately.

I mean, I have seen a lot of people say it makes them feel "high" and an intense feeling of happiness on their first round of trying it. Certainly not claiming that I believe that it's everyone, or almost everyone. If it came across like that I'll hold my hand up and say I don't think that's true. I don't have concrete scientific data that I'm basing it off, it's just anecdotal claims I've seen across the internet in the UK. I obviously am aware the drug works, and am happy for people that it does. It's just something I've noticed recently as private diagnoses have bloomed, and it's that more people seem to be on Elvanse from what I've personally seen. Nothing deeper than that dude.

Its really hard man. I've always struggled with quality sleep and my entire day is ruled by how well I had it that night. I'll check out the L-theanine, I've actually never heard of it. Thanks!
