tbh I thought vyvanse was a placebo until I talked to more of my friends who were on it. I felt like I was functioning "like a normal person" but I assumed that was just me tricking myself into it because I wasn't having the side effects I had with other adhd meds

not me but my friend is on it and it works great for her, they’re actually trying to put her on adderall for bullshit insurance reasons and she doesn’t want to

i had the worst crashes with vyvanse (but tbh skill issue, you’re supposed to eat protein all day with adhd meds) and i had to get off it bc it was giving me the most insane side effects but i think i’m an outlier on the side effects part, never heard anyone else talk ab the ones i was having

I almost cried hearing my psychiatrist say that there’s no crash with vyvanse

my friends did say they had a hard time falling asleep if they didn't take it in the morning and they had a hard time eating enough if they tried to take it before breakfast, but that was never an issue for me.

a ton of ppl swear by it tho so don’t take mine as the experience you’re gonna get just be aware there are still crashes!!! it’s the only one i’ve been on so i can’t compare it but a lot of ppl swear it’s the best and i trust them, just wasn’t the one for me

Okay thanks for the heads up!! I personally experience like debilitating crashes with adderall where like once I crash like I HAVE to take a nap otherwise I’m falling asleep doing things and can be very emotionally charged sooo I’m just hoping vyvanse is better in that aspect!!
