Ive been taking Vyvanse for about 2 years. Was initially prescribed 30 mg/day which worked for a while. Now I'm prescribed 70 mg/day. My side effects are dry mouth & decreased appetite. It controls my hyperactivity and racing thoughts more gradually in a 6 to 8 hour period, much better than other similar meds I've been prescribed in the past, most of which the dose is 2 - 3 times per day.

I started having Raynaud's syndrome and didn't make the comnection that it may be the Vyvanse I had just started that month. I've never had it before. It was triggered more by pressure on my hands, not cold. My hands and feet have been cold for months. Several months after my hands were affected by Raynaud's it began spreading to my left foot. I've stopped the Vyvanse and all seems well now.

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.
