Hi everybody, this is my first time using this website and am glad to meet everyone. Im 19 and have been on vyvanse for about 6 months for college. I had it for ever but fought against medication buti knew needed it for college. Especially cus i had a tough senior year without parents motivating me to do work like they did when i was little. Im on 40 but im planning on going up soon.
So today i needed to get some work done, so i tried something new and took one at 8 and one at 12. I dont feel like i am on 80 mg i feel like i maybe took 50. Is this normal or do i just need a higher dose? I thought because vyvanse lasts for 12 hours i would feel great but i feel pretty ordinary. Just wondering if i should be feeling it more or if if vyvanse doesnt stack like that. thanks in advance C. Moe
Also, i was wondering if everything i say on this wesite is completely confidential. Like if i admit to technically abusing my drug like i did in this post could i potentially get in trouble? sorry lol 🙂 i don’t usually do it but i had stuff to do and also wanted to know how much i should ask my doctor to go up. thanks in advance for all the help!!!
REPORT ABUSEMarch 10, 2015 at 4:37 am #126752Hi there,
Though I don’t have an actual answer for you, I know exactly what you mean. I previously was taking 50mg Adderall XR in the morning and then 25XR mid-morning. I am still cross-tapering with Vyvanse, so if I don’t take an Adderall 25 in the mornin with the Vyvanse, I feel like hell.
But I have noticed that even taking a 2nd Vyvanse an hour after the first in the morning has an effect on the drug’s efficacy, or how much it helps the symptoms it is intended for, ie: ADD.
You are right, it does feel like I’ve taken next to nothing, or even taken less to begin with!
I think that because this drug was so carefully designed by Shire (makers of Adderall) to have a much less probability for abuse because it’s not an amphetamine until it has been metabolized, introducing more of the pro-drug on top of an already metabolizing pro-drug has a weird reaction.
Basically, I’d ask my doctor to up my morning dose and talk to him/her about “boosters” if you must.
My eating habits and exercise habits became quite unhealthy on Adderall, but since I stayed thin and had energy up until the last year or two of taking t, I didn’t pay much attention. Now I feel like Vyvanse is helping me at work and in general more with focusing, redirecting, and following through, but I need to start managing my health in the simple ways again.
I hope this helped at all… Good luck!

And I don’t think you abused your drug – your intention was not to feel high – just talk to your doctor before experimenting again! Dont walk the slippery slope of playing with amphetamine doses. But don’t beat yourself up either.
