Reply To: My first week on Vyvanse…….an update

[darktendril]

I’ve been taking it for about seven months, and I am not sure if I ever felt my mind really “slow down”, I am on a fairly low dose though.  At this point, it doesn’t really give me more energy either.  What it does help me do is focus better when I want to focus (though I have to make a conscious effort, or I will focus on the wrong things lol), and it helps me to organize my own thoughts better inside my head.  My thoughts come just as quickly I think, but instead of being a whirling sandstorm inside my head, I can manipulate them into a (mostly) coherent pattern..   I still get restless at times, easily entertained but quickly bored, and am occasionally told I’m talking too quickly..  when I don’t take it though I am still restless but also actually feel stoned in comparison, off in my own  world.  (I purposely don’t take it if I want to zone out, like at a dentist appointment lol)
