Im 13 and i was diagnosed when i was 10 at that time i was given Ritalin which made me feel like a completely different person and not in a good way so i changed to dexamfenimine and was on 5 tablets a day it worked but during the time of these medications i had lot 15kg and because i was so forgetful i wouldn't remember all 5 everyday so i was put on vyvanse 50mg an it works well but i dont feel like myself anymore i use to be excited and outgoing and i could spark a convasation with anyone im not like that at all anymore and it worries me.I experience side effects such as high heart rate,muscle ticks,slight changes in vision and i all so find that i am extremely able to focus and comlete tasks at school but i come with alot of physical,emotional and mental exustion.I am now in the process of diciding weather it more important to be emotionally or academicly stable. Overall this is the best medication option i have been given and some of the side effects i have maybe from out side variables but this is just my experience

I have been taking ADHD medications for about 10 years and vyvanse is by far my favorite. I take 50mg of vyvanse as needed. I always feel very productive when taking it and It really helps me focus and get things done without the procrastination.

I have been taking ADHD medications for about 10 years and vyvanse is by far my favorite. I take 50mg of vyvanse as needed. I always feel very productive when taking it and It really helps me focus and get things done without the procrastination. Although, it does what it is supposed to do I do have a few side effects that prevent me from taking it everyday. I have a history with anxiety/depression and this medicine brings back some of those symptoms. Also, I tend to be a perfectionist when I take the medicine. I catch myself taking longer to take exams and redoing my makeup or hair or brushing my teeth more than once simply because I feel like it isn't just right. Also I am more isolated and less social when I take the pill and tend to have trouble sleeping. I do enjoy my work more though and dont eat as much when I take it. Many pros and cons.

I have ADD (no hyperactivity) with sleep episodes during the day. This drug has been a life saver for me. I'm lucky in that I have low blood pressure naturally, so it doesn't cause me any issues there. It does help me stay focused without making me feel jittery or drugged. It really did change my life. I feel like myself again.
