Vyvanse - not worth it?
Post Body

The positive effects of Vyvanse last only 2-4 hours for me: quiet mind, focus, motivation.

Afterwards, I have anxiety, too many thoughts, general unease, bad sleep, exhaustion. The doses in the next days don't have the same positive effect (way less focusing, racing mind), they only give me additional unease. So taking Vyvanse daily doesn't work for me. This happens at every dosage between 20-70mg.

The half life of Vyvanse is 12 hours, and I only feel normal 48-60 hours after the last dose.

Other meds

Methylphenidate / Ritalin doesn't calm my mind. Adderall is not legal in my country.

I haven't tried Guanfacin (Intuniv) and Atomoxetin (Strattera)

What can I try?

The 2-4 hours of positive effects of Vyvanse are not worth 50 hours of suffering afterwards.

What else can I try to quiet my mind?
