When I was 11 I was diagnosed with ADHD but hated the med they put me on so I stopped.

Fast forward to 16, and I discovered Vyvanse made me an absolute fucking informational processing unit made me get out of the hole I was in mentally.

Fast forward a bit from there and im taking so much of it I end up with a bloody mouth from chewing on my cheeks so hard my entire group of peers can tell I’m tweaking on the daily. My moms worried, I’m ignoring school in favour of bigger™️ thoughts and im almost a full blown addict.

I get off it, switch to dex as my stim of choice. I then lived in fear of ever touching Vyvanse again because of how I acted with it. I stayed on dex periodically and Ritalin as a prescription and never touched it again until today. I know it’s basically? the same or so I hear, but just my past from it gave me SERIOUS anxiety on ever going back.

I was so nervous this morning after finally starting this as prescribed but it’s going really well!! I have serious OCD in the form of repetition patterns and instantly I noticed while on it, it’s not as bad???

I also have an appetite which is a fucking blessing!!

Also not as lethargic which I hope stays a thing lol
