I was put on Vyvanse, early on and we could never get the dosage correct. In the blood stream, it metabolizes into Gluco-Amphetimine (Adderall). It kept building up and I got too much.  Adderall was much easier to control, and I have many more options for dosages.

Quieting thoughts, or keeping thoughts from racing around in your head: This is what I call “monkey chatter”. The only thing that I have found that quiets that constant background noise, is something that causes more harm than good, so I won’t talk about it.

Vyvanse did allow me to channel the racing thoughts and sometimes ignore them. Adderall does the same for me as well. I will never be at peace, or have a time where my mind is still. I think that is part of the curse that is ADD.
