Hey, @improman, everybody’s different. That said, I had a very similar reaction Vyvanse. I stopped and doc switched me to Focalin XR (I take 5 mg), which has worked very well for me. He also prescribed a non-extended release Focalin (only 2.5 mg for me because more hypes me up too much–I guess I’m sensitive) as needed for an afternoon boost.
As a sidenote, I found that my Focalin XR works better if I take it with food.
There are a lot of different formulations of ADHD meds. It’s a pain to have to experiment, but the right pill makes a big difference.
