Thanks Blackdog! really appreciate all the advice and I feel a little more comfy now knowing I can’t take half a dose.
I called up my psych and asked her about a lower dose and she told me 40mg is usually what she gives kids. She said not to get stuck on 40mg looking like it’s a high dose because vyvanse doesn’t get stronger with higher doses. She said it just lasts longer with the higher dosages.
But yea I’m going to work with my family and to figure out a game plan on how to stay on track with study habits and work. Because once I fall off even if it’s a day then I go back to my old bad habits of doing nothing productive.
I’m not ruling out depression but psych said i don’t come off as depressed. And as far as the anxiety goes. I only get it at night time when I try and go to sleep. Basically it’s me worrying about work/study that I didn’t finish or get to that night and how it’s going to pile up the next day. Then it plays over and over in my head and I have trouble going to sleep.
Thanks again Blackdog for the support!
