Hi Nellie,
Thanks so much for the answer ! I’m happy to know that you found some benefits with the medication… it doesn’t seem easy to find the right one for each of us. Did you try each medication for many weeks with different dosages before trying another one ? Can I ask if you have the inattentive type ? What were the benefits (and side effects) you noticed mostly with Vyvanse ? And did you feel (like others I read) that Vyvanse was less effective with your motivation ? I heard that it would be mostly effective with hyperactivity and impulsivity… but I mostly don’t have these symptoms (except that I talk a lot and have some mental hyperactivity).
And you’re totally right, since I bought them, I should just try it and see what happens for me ! The thing is, I’ve read some mixed feelings about Vyvanse and got the impression that Adderall was somehow more effective and that it could be more useful for the inattentive… hard to start on (and finish) type ! I think that I’m really just hoping that this really works and that I just got myself “the” pill ! But, since I’ve been like this for 30 years… and just got diagnosed this morning… I guess I’m probably asking a lot !
Meanwhile, I’m really interested to read your thoughts about ADD medication…
