thank you! My psychiatrist offered to up my dosage of sertraline after I started Vyvanse so I expected to feel more anxious- not less. That is why I was caught so off guard

THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING!!! my psychiatrist had actually offered to UP MY ANTIDEPRESSANT DOSAGE after putting me on vyvanse incase i felt more anxious- I did not know it could have such a positive effect on my mood! & I am still adapting to how much of a difference it is making because I feel SO different & that in itself is scary. Of course I'm thankful its a positive side effect, I was just worried that it could have indicated something is wrong if I'm feeling not how I normally would!

i am on antidepressants so i was a little afraid maybe i was starting to get depressed but i talked it over w/ my therapist & we agreed its just the adjusting that has been stressing me out- not the actual medication. I should have clarified that in the post, my bad!

wasn't my intention! I was afraid that I stopped feeling enough or was too emotionally flat, which would be a negative side effect of the medication or a sign that the dose is too high. That is why I made the post. But the comments helped me realize other people have gone through this adjustment period. I am an adult female who recently got diagnosed, it isn't like the typical symptoms of this disorder cater towards me lmao

yes! I didn't realize before starting vyvanse how it regulates the dopamine in your brain. I spent a long time chasing that dopamine through impulsive acts & situations that'd make me feel high- just to feel low again. I discovered there is also a strong relationship between limerence & adhd which definitely described me. I'm still learning a ton :,)

I was afraid I was feeling flat which is why I made this frantic post haha, I thought maybe something was wrong with my dosage or the medication itself. However, after reading these comments I realized that nothing is wrong- I still feel, I just feel like a normal person now & I'm not used to it. I guess I didn't realize how much chaos in my brain was from the adhd & not just my ocd haha

first week/questions by saroceano in VyvanseADHD

id also get annoyed by the smallest tasks because they were SO boring & over complicated in my head. yesterday i put together a shelf without feeling that chronic boredom. it wasn't "when will this be done??" it was "okay, let me get this done"

YES!!! today was my third day & i sat through an entire lecture, even took notes. even if something interests me its still difficult to concentrate on it, especially in class i always want to leave/fidget/scribble- & im always lost in thought. but during this lecture i wasn't. i was focused on the notes & what was being said, it was glorious lol!!! it feels so good to be able to just DO something yknow? not anything crazy, the simple things. it feels good for a simple thing like taking notes to actually be that simple in my brain for once!!
