Hi all,
Just wanted to pipe in about the caffeine aspect – definitely notice a difference if I have too much coffee. I usually also wash down the vyvanse with my coffee in the morning since I need at least 2 or 3 cups to wake up my brain before the Vyvanse kicks in. Lately I noticed that the caffeine seems to be having an even stronger effect. I decided to stop after the 2nd cup today because it feels as if I had a glass or two of wine instead.
Proper sleep and eating habits also makes a difference in terms of feeling alert. If I don’t get enough sleep or forget to eat breakfast the Vyvanse makes me feel spacey.
Blackdog, when you said it works better if you take it really early, could that be because it takes 2 hours to take effect so you notice productivity earlier in the day? I also find that if I get up early enough and take the Vyvanse I get a better start to the day. If I get up later and then only notice it kick in closer to noon , I kind of drag my feet and don’t get much done. Basically the day feels totally wasted. (Hope that makes sense!)
