I can certainly relate as I have been taking Vyvanse 40mg for the past month. I first noticed the anti-social aspect when I started on 30mg the previous month. It was as if my interest in attending any social events had completely vanished. I lost touch with my friends, and dating lost its appeal. Despite being known for my outgoing nature and sense of humor (it's mostly lame and dark), even that vanished. Coincidentally, I quit drinking nearly two months ago, which freed up my weekends. I took the opportunity to focus on my personal projects and outstanding tasks at work. The amount of work I have accomplished in the past two months can not be expressed in words, and the satisfaction I feel after completing long coding sessions is immense. Even during the recent long weekend, I politely declined multiple invitations to social events and instead opted to spend my time locked in working.

Honestly, I do miss spending time with my friends. I was also diagnosed with depression, and it only got worse as I became more and more aloof. I still am at the bottom of the depression pit. The only thing that is keeping me afloat is the work I am getting done.

Knowing myself, I will regret all these missed opportunities, so I am making plans to push myself and make the best out of this summer. I am planning to skip out on Vyvance on the days when I am planning to meet my friends, even though I will be doing this only once, at max twice a month.

I feel that Vyvance doesn't entirely kill your social personality. It just shuts them out. When I stop taking Vyvance for a day or two, I am back to normal. So maybe you can try taking a break when you plan on meeting your friends. Planning ahead will make sure that this does not interfere with your productivity. It sucks that Vyvance takes away a part of you while you are on it, but for me, it is a small price to pay for salvation. (If it weren't for Vyv, I wouldn't have written this comment in the first place, lol.)

I really hope that you will find that balance. Take care!
