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

[ptvlover]

I have been on vyvanse for about a year and before vyvanse I took adderall. Adderal worked well when it came to helping me focus but the side affects were horrible. It gave me the worse headaches I’ve ever experienced and horrible stomach aches. sometimes I couldn’t even get out of bed in the morning because of My headache…. But now I take vyvanse and Ive taken various dosages my lowest dosage was 30mg since then I have been dosed up many times due to my constant inability to focus. my dosage is now 80mg and imstead of just taking it once a day I have to take it twice. I take 50mg In the morning as soon as I wake up and 30 mg at 1 pm. I have to do this because vyvanse doesnt help me for a long period of time like it does with other people.. even when taking the 70mg dose in the morning by the time 12 hits the medicine does not help me focus at all and It is impossible for me to participate In class. taking it twice a day  improved my performance in school dramatically but it also makes it practically impossible to sleep at night so my doctor prescribed me  0.1 mg  of clonidine and it helps me sleep just fine. But my main reason I’m here is because I have little to no side affects with vyvanse except one and it’s when the vyvanse is wearing off I get extremely antisocial and I just want to be left alone. I walk  around looking lost and depressed  and at times I can get really aggravated and my patience level becomes zero. But when I feel this way it’s like I’m trapped in my thoughts and it sucks and it’s very annoying .its like a very bad feeling like I’m usually a cool outgoing fun person but when this happens my mood is just crap and foggy …does anyone else only experience this side effect and does anyone know ways that I can improve my mood when this happens ?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
