To me, Vyvanse is bringing too many side effects for it to be a god solution. I was on Concerta 45Mg (2 pills) for a while. It worked pretty well but did not last long enough.
My doctor switched me to Vyvanse. It DOES work better and longer for me. However, it makes me feel REALLY sad from time to time (1 day out of 2 I’d say). The sadness sometimes lasts for the whole day, sometimes lasts for just an hour or so. I can feel the sadness coming and I fear it. Vyvanse also makes me wake up nightly around 4AM with a lot of trouble getting back to sleep.
If I had the choice, I’d return to Concerta and have a small Ritalin at the end of the day.
I will see my doctor in 2 weeks and I will ask him for something new. I’ll keep you guys posted.
Good luck!
