Adderall didn't seem to work for me and seemed to accentuate negative feelings. I'm going to try to switch to Dexedrine. Lately I've seen online that others have been complaining of a lack of effectiveness of their adhd meds over the past few months too, so I don't know if this indicates an actual issue going on with the makers of these products. I wouldn't know anything about that but if its true I'd very much like to know.

just switched from generic concerta to generic vyvanse.. a crazy difference. I can best compare it to feeling like Adderall, without having the feeling that you're running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

I am just about to be prescribed concerta, here in eastern europe we dont even have vyvanse or adderall. But my exact goal is what you describ3d: to use medication for the sole purpose of getting to not need medication. I have tried for a year now to just simply imply some rules and hacks and pomodoro and other techniques but i failed after very short periods, so i hope to get a boost while developing helpful habits, and... maybe after that once in a while when important events occur which demand focus. But i will discuss that with my psychiatrist. Good luck to all y'all!

I've had a really good experience of concerta till it suddenly just stopped working. No idea why.but vyvanse or elvanse as I know it here in the UK, well, at 70g I ended up having a seizure that's temporarily taken away my driving licence, so I'd absolutely say get a dosette box to make sure you are taking it correctly. We don't know if it was me forgetting I'd already taken a dose or an issue because I'd taken 70mg I don't know. But it's definitely one not to mess with or change the dose of without speaking to whoever oversees your care. But I never heard of it as a elvanse issue before.

I have never tried Vyvanse, Concerta (36mg) doesn't help me focus much but does help me get things done. It's a little kick in terms of productivity/less procrastination, which is what I needed, maybe one day I will try other medications. But for me it's better than nothing I would say for sure, even though the effect is small.

[@Just_Ve]

Been using Ritalin since 2009 and now at 36 finally switched to Vyvanse and is working pretty well. My doc said that it has to increase the dose since I’m only taking 30mg for the first week but so far I’m doing well. To me, just like Ritalin, it doesn’t last more than 6 hours per dose to be honest, I don’t know how they come up with those 10 to 12 hours lasting but I never experienced that, I used to take up to 60mg of Ritalin a day, 20mg every 4 to 5 hours to keep it up. My problem with Vyvanse tho is the crash that due my dosage at the moment it occurs way too soon, but hopefully increasing the dose that problem will be solved, after a week my doc told me ton increase to 60mg and see if it needs more or not. So far the treatment looks promising.

[@victoriabrideau48]

I thought Vitamin C neutralizes the stimulant, why would you recommend taking with orange juice?

[@dus10dnd]

I mentioned this as well. It is a documented interaction with respect to Vitamin C and any acidic food. It is useful to know this as you can use it in a pinch if you think you shouldn’t have taken the meds for whatever reason, but should not be taken if you actually want it to be effective.

[@l.c.8475]

Concerta has too much active dose variation for me, there's a smooth gradiant from too low to too high as it gets released and I get both high dose and low dose side effects from it at different times of the day. I do so much better on timed release meds like ritalin because they release a bunch of active ingredient at once.

[@B8R8]

Compare Vayvanse and Mydayis!! I literally don’t feel much on Vayvanse 70 MG

[@TheSonicSegaNerd]

I have to split a 70 MG into 3 capsules for it to effectively work. It's still not ideally enough to get me through the day, but it helps a lot.

[@nokrome]

Please do not suggest to take Vyvanse or Concerta with orange juice as high levels of vitamin C slow down and disrupt the absorption of these stimulants! This can lead to incorrect dosing and other issues.

Yes and calcium can enhance the stimulant sometimes to dangerous levels

I barely notice it now.

Has it gotten better for you?

I've been trying vyvanse for the past 3 weeks (only 20mg for the first week then 30mg for the past 2) and it helps with pretty much only task initiation for the first like 3 hours but by hour 4 I get really physically anxious for the next few hours, then after 8 hours or so it wears off and I crash in energy. My doctor just switched me to concerta, so I'll start that tomorrow and hopefully that'll work better.

You could try Wellbutrin or Strattera. Wellbutrin is an antidepressant with some stimulant effect. Strattera is also sort of like an antidepressant but I’d also compare the effect to concerta. Gets you kinda wired and focused.

[@unofficialitguy]

Good callout on being able to open the Vyvanse capsule to mix with soft food/drink if needed. Please steer clear of orange juice as a choice for mixing as it can result in ineffective absorption of the medication resulting in variations in resulting effectiveness. Individuals mixing with orange juice may require a higher dosage and then when taking without orange juice, may notice it more intensely. If this happens, diluting medication in 10ml of water per 10mg of medication and drinking less than the full amount can help step down in dose if the dosage prescribed is too high and a lower effective dose is advised. (example: if prescribed 50mg that results in increased side effects where 40mg is better tolerated, mixing a 50mg capsule in 50 ml of water and drinking only 40ml of the solution will result in the equivalent of a 40mg dosage). Use the lowest effective dose is better in the long run.

So far, it has given me energy but not as much as I remember from the last time. It is suppressing my appetite enough to stop me eating between meals but my mind is still cluttered & nothing seems to be helping that which is what I hoping for most.

You’ve mentioned on a couple of videos that Vyvanse can be mixed with orange juice. I am pretty sure this is bad advice. Vitamin C and acidic food can essentially neutralize it in the gut. Some folks that have taken it after waking up in the middle of the night not realizing it isn’t yet morning and drink orange juice for this exact purpose so they can go back to sleep until a more appropriate time. Also, the interactions with Vitamin C and acidic foods are listed in all of the documentation and recommended not to be taken until at least an hour after taking Vyvanse.

Vyvanse in the US currently does not have a generic. Their patent expires in 2023 so you can expect generics in late 2023 to early 2024

[@tanker242]

All US generics for concerta available are currently not bioavailable equivalent as of 1/23/23. Avoid non brand name.

It seems to me that everyone here has some pretty bad side effects. I’d like to try vyvanse but it doesn’t seem worth it? Does anyone feel it has greatly helped them more than the side effects negative impact ?

[@DaNumba1Rapper]

Hello, I’m 33 and on Vyvanse 30 mg. It helps me focus but also makes me so hungry. Specially at the end of the day.
