It's OK while it's in my system right after I take it but, after a few hours it's making me really, really tired.

Vyvanse has really changed my life. I struggled with ADHD for years before finally breaking down and giving medicine a try. Here's a brief breakdown of the pros and cons. Pros: - Increased focus and motivation - Relatively long-lasting; my 50mg dose usually lasts about 8 hours - Makes me more outgoing and social - Puts you in a good mood - Really controls my hyperactivity and general inattention Cons: - Dry mouth - Once it wears off my mood will shift for about an hour. I'll go from being extremely happy to kind of apathetic. It usually lasts about an hour or less - Zero appetite; I'll go all day without wanting to eat - I only have issues with insomnia if I take it after 11 am - For the first hour I do sweat and get hot easily Overall, the pros definitely outweigh the cons for me. I also noticed that the side effects were more severe in the first month of treatment, but they've since gotten better.

I hated this drug!!! it made my 16 year old daughter So mean and violent To the point that we had call the police on her two or three times. This is the worst drug we have ever tried!! once she stopped it she went back to being sweet and easy to live with. The door breaking angry monster that was living with us was gone and our daughter was back. After being off of it for two days, She told me she felt like herself again. She wasn't "Pissed off and wanting to hit" If you ask me this drug should be off the market . It's not worth the pain and suffering you and your loved ones have to go through!!! Ask for something else. her doctor put her on Ritalin and that has been a blessing!! Good luck!!!! you will need it!
