this medicine has helped me so much more then adderall, ritalin, or concerta has. there are no emotional side effects which is the best thing about vyvanse in my opinion. i think the best part is that you are still hungry on it, can fall asleep whenever you want, and you dont feel controlled by it but it helps you focus when you need to.

(An update from my previous review) I have been taking Vyvanse 70mg for about 3 weeks now. Aside from the dry mouth/bad taste (which I have curbed a bit with Biotene mouthwash) I am pretty satisfied with Vyvanse. I am unsure if I prefer Adderal XR 30mg to this new medication, but I like how long Vyvanse lasts. The only "complaint" I have is you don't get the sudden rush of energy 30-45 ... Show Full Comment

I am unsure if I prefer Adderal XR 30mg to this new medication, but I like how long Vyvanse lasts. The only "complaint" I have is you don't get the sudden rush of energy 30-45 minutes after taking it like you do with Adderall. That bit really helped me get started in the morning! I'm going to try the Vyvanse for 3 months or so, and see how it works for me. For note, I have been taking Fluoxetine 20mg for generalized anxiety, and I have not experienced any strange interactions. I am a 140lb 5'10" white female of medium build. The same psychiatrist that prescribed the Fluoxetine initially suggested I move from Adderall to Vyvanse, so I trust he knows what he's doing. :) Best of luck to everyone in your endeavors. -Jema

Started using Adderall first for ADHD. Everything was ok until I switched around other medications and thus switched to Ritalin. Ritalin gave me headaches, switched to Focalin and still got headaches, switched to concerta and STILL got headaches. Switched back to adderall and thats when I started to get horrible side effects. I would be hungry and ready to eat a meal, only to find that I had no desire to eat whatsoever. The sight and thought of eating actually repulsed me, made me nauseous. I would force food down and it would make me gag. So I wouldn't eat, and then that would make me feel worse and keep me from concentrating. After begging my doctor to find another solution, she suggested vyvanse. It not only works like a charm, but I can actually eat on it and not be repulsed by what I'm eating. And I can concentrate. Perfect.
