    @ uglytoad… When I was on the 60mg (which I’m up to again already) a few years back I did have some anger/irritability issues but never took anything for it, I’m not big on taking meds at all, especially when already taking one a day for behavior modification… However, I understand the need, vyvanse has been losing psychiatric support as of late, and I can understand why.. The mechanism in which the drug is delivered to the system depends on an enzyme produced by the liver during digestion, there are some professional’s that claim this can cause all sorts of side effects and added setbacks.. I’d have to agree, I do not like vyvanse at all, it has no effect on my add symptoms at all, I’ve had headaches, frequent diarrhea, and of coarse the anger.. I’m going back to Adderall XR on August 4th when my current prescription of vyvanse is finished.. I’ll be starting on 20mg-30mg as it is much stronger than vyvanse and has (in the past) always seemed to be my “optimal”. I can’t really comment on the other meds because I’ve never had them, but maybe you and your boyfriend should consider Adderall or at least speak to his doctor… Vyvanse was and is expensive, Adderall not so much… It’s a win-win for me because of my co-pay!! Good luck and keep me posted, I hope the two of you find a med(s) combo that will help

    Haha!!! Yeah I’m definitely learning to just be myself on here… I keep forgetting that this is our spot lol! Really appreciate your time and advice along with the encouragement!! I’ll remember to (here comes a magic word) FOCUS on my impatient tendencies lmao!!! I’m ready for the process of controlling my symptoms for sure…… But ya know that whole instant gratification wish always seem to try and overtake progress!!!!

    Thank you blackdog!!! Nope, not too long for me to read lol… I really appreciate your info on the matter. I think I’m just being impatient because I remember from before, how well vyvanse helped me!! Just really worried that I’ll end up screwing up at work and lose yet another job!! I’m definitely trying my different outlets and just found a local seminar (once a month) for adult ADD/ADHD.. I’ll just continue on my current Rx and see how it all works out at my next appointment. I definitely understand my Dr’s methods and reasoning due to the fact that she wants to see how my body reacts.. Just frustrating lol remember how it “used to be” and how it is now 🙂 but again, thank you very much for the info, gonna check out those links now
