When seeking treatment for ADHD symptoms, many people are vastly under-informed on their options. If you’ve only been prescribed Vyvanse, Adderall, or one of the other big-brand pharmaceuticals, you may not even know the many other options out there, including natural supplements and homeopathic solutions. Learn more about Vyvanse, its differences from Adderall, and what natural remedies may be good alternatives for you
Today’s scientists believe that the main reason adult ADHD remains underdiagnosed is that the diagnostic criteria for ADHD created in the DSM-V (the current manual for diagnosing mental illnesses, published in 2013) were developed around the signs and symptoms of children, specifically boys. There is also an implicit racial bias to how patients of color are diagnosed and treated for mental illnesses, ADHD included. This can affect the ability of young girls, children of color, and people experiencing adult-onset symptoms of ADHD to get proper diagnosis and treatment.
As it turns out, however, ADHD is a disorder that affects a diverse population of all ages and gender identities. And, for adults living with the symptoms of ADHD, Adderall can’t always be used to manage their condition - whether it interacts poorly with their other medications or just doesn’t seem to work for them. In this case, there are several alternatives typically prescribed instead, such as the drug Vyvanse.
So what Is Vyvanse?
Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) - Vyvanse is a stimulant in a family of amphetamine-based drugs used to treat certain symptoms of ADHD. Using a balance of naturally occurring chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters, Vyvanse can target many aspects of the disorder that keep patients from being able to pay attention. The effect of this drug can help people with attention disorders have a much more organized and productive life. Some other Vyvanse uses are for the treatment of illnesses like Binge Eating Disorder, but due to the risk of certain more serious effects, it should never be used as a weight-loss drug.
Lisdexamfetamine and ADHD
When used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, Lisdexamfetamine (the active ingredient in Vyvanse) can be a great help to patients with ADHD. The drug addresses the inability to stay focused, sit still without fidgeting, and pay attention to any tasks at hand. By providing the ability for the neurotransmitters in the brain to flow uninterrupted, Vyvanse can help people feel more in control of their thoughts and actions, and ultimately, their lives.

Questions answered by someone with ADHD and been using Vyvanse for 1 year.
Is Vyvanse addictive? Yes in a sense, that you feel like you are not performing the best without it, so you tell yourself you can't live without it.
How do I cope with the Side effects?
Insomnia- if I take a pill waking up to late, I have to take a lower dose so I can sleep.
Appetite - Force yourself to eat. I could go a whole day forgetting to eat. So I put reminders and prepared food.
I get slower than I am normally. So I make sure to be physically active.
If you are in a higher dose that is not right for you it can create OCD habits and hyper focus.
Skip on the weekends? Yes but it will make you tired. Could work if you don't need to do anything.
Helps depression? Well it gives you more energy to do more and get things done. So it might.
Withdrawal from Vyvanse- Put me in a coma like feel. I slept 5 days in a row. Just really really tired!
This is single handedly the most useful video in my life right now when it comes to which direction I should go with Vyvanse. I still have a lot of consideration, prep and consultation with my prescription nurse. This stuff is not common knowledge but spoken like it is in an honest and pure way. Most Docs will either tell you it's bad, give you their cold professional opinion or stew your mind with a monotonous playback of what they see from some outdated medical entry. Thanks!
So glad I quit taking stimulants. I’m healthy again, sleeping, spending more time with my kids. Life on stimulants is just life in fast forward. 🇺🇸
I’ve searched information about this on TH-cam,This is the first video I’ve ever seen about this medicine I’ve been taking for years and have build a high dependency on this medicine. Thank you for sharing this information
I’m prescribed Vyvance and Adderall for several years and I want to learn how to manage with out needing to take higher dosage
Same!
Literally same! Thought I was alone with this issue. I’m literally maxed out of the mg amount dr can legally prescribe
Same here
Every time I quit vyvanse I get depressed months later. But it was giving me such bad anxiety this past time. Idk what to do. I kinda wish I never started and just learned natural ways to deal with my ADHD.
Me too. It’s great if I take it, I feel like a normal person. If i try to stop it’s wrecking my life.
Yeah I’m only 16 and it worked great at first! The anxiety was definitely present and jitters/cold sweats too; but I was laxer focused on school work and grades. The results were 4.0 Gpa but eventually high stress and no food begins to take a toll. I worked for second semester freshmen year and all sophomore year. My mind would be racing to fast I would get sidetracked after listening and really trying to process information. I ended up swiping to adderal once again with little results. I think I may go back but with a lower dose.
There is a balance oddly 60mgs was too much 30 wasn't enough 40 made me feel creepy and weird but 50 was perfect. It's about balance.
@aarongabbard ya theres a balance until that balance eventually stops working. Due to stress or side effects. Best to taper and be done.
not a dr here but how about reducing the dose by 10 mg at a time. a second option is to get on an antidepressant or mood stabilizer :)
I sometimes talk to myself but only occasionally and mostly not, i am well aware of it, usually if i haven't eaten or something!
My first withdrawal wasn't bad. It was the second one that got me good. Still trying to feel better.
Not sure if questions are answered here but I'd like to share my struggle. I am prescribed Vyvanse for binge eating disorder. I have tried MULTIPLE medications, therapy, you name it, and this is the only one that helps me the most. The problem is that i get distracted, i cant finish my work tasks, i second guess myself with everything...it's a nightmare. I feel defeated, alone in this battle. I decided to stop 70mg; it's affecting my job big time. I am back to my old disease...
Thank you for letting me share.
That is such a high dose to be taking is good not taking it for something like ADHD. 70mg is what someone that has been taking amphetamines for many years and has developed tolerance to the drug.
Its not really skipping because its still in the system for a couple days. Its day 5 withdrawal will kick in.
My doctor took off on vacation and forgot to rewrite my script...the withdrawl sucks. The muscle cramps feels like your whole body is bruised, you feel like killing yourself, you don't crave the medication but you know something is wrong after taking it for years. Taking adderall is a fast burn always found myself falling asleep on it. I believe Vyvance helped depression and social interaction. I could eat and sleep on it but after a week of not being on it is when the withdrawl starts, skipping a weekends isn't a problem because you don't have to do anything. But having hypersomnia and adhd Vyvance was the only thing that worked for me. But not having it for a week now I'm searching for answers on why I want to punch myself, hate life, have cramps and pains. Saying the withdrawl isn't bad...is an understatement because after 5 days is when the Rollercoaster really starts.
Yeah I’m only 16 and it worked great at first! The anxiety was definitely present and jitters/cold sweats too; but I was laxer focused on school work and grades. The results were 4.0 Gpa but eventually high stress and no food begins to take a toll. It worked for second semester freshmen year and all sophomore year. But this year my mind would be racing too fast I would get sidetracked after listening to the teacher when really trying to process information. I ended up changing to adderal once again with little results. I think I may go back but with a lower dose. What should I go about it? This semester I got like a 2.9 don’t know what happened.
Doctor, can you talk about how to alternatively build up your energy storages? Also, what are the causes for overstimulation? 19 year old just diagnosed with adhd. Began using 2 months ago. Noticing a decrease in the drug efficiency.
Quick question. I've been prescribed 50mg Vyvanse for almost 3 years now, but since I can't sleep on it I only take it 3 days a week. I work 4 day work weeks, so I take it when I'm off work. It has made me a recluse and I stay at home and don't go anywhere and I feel like a prisoner in my own body. If I stop all together how long should it take before I start feeling my old self again?
Hey - are you ok? Why are you taking it when you’re off work instead of at work?
I'm confused. I took vyvanse and day 1 I felt calmer and awake, full of energy. The day after, I was calmer and more focused, with periods of feeling super awake and elevated. Does this mean that my dose is low?
Good informative video. Wouldn’t agree with the withdrawals. Actually I’d argue it’s worse than other substances. Being dependent on elvanse for 10 years plus, when I stopped I had really bad health problems. Bone pain, joint pain, muscle aches, weird endocrine and exocrine function, acid reflux, spine issues.
Oh man this was a bad one when I quit it years ago. Felt like such hell
I am on day 4 without it, broke down got my script again. On a high dose so I do feel like I’ve been “decimated.” What did you do to get through and what do you do now?
@@kmmc6940 I'm going through something similar girl... let's connect and beat this fucking beast for good! 🔥 Wanna be accountability partners? Haha
@@kmmc6940 Speak with your doc and get them to prescribe you Bupropion/Wellbutrin. That makes it a lot easier to cope with the withdrawals. It will take minimum six months to feel a bit normal again.
@@serrahfox6073i will be. Lmk if you see this. Ill send my email
The 2-3 day withdrawal is fucking terrible for me due to misplacing my new batch holy shit it’s efffin just ZOMBIE MAN ZOMBIE
Please talk about tapering clozapine, thank you brother
Yes. Clozapine is the devil
@@hemi7175 how much mg are you taking and for how long
How are you giving people medication advice but you stated you were previously not aware of taking weekends or days off of taking vyvanse? Yikes.
Seems to be a new concept ...no one should take these drugs.
Im nervous already and all your sniffing, coughing, throat clearing, sudden breaths, and tongue clicking is making me nuts.
In Australia my meds are all about $7 because i am on disability, marijuana is $150 per tub, some are bit more, we have a wonderful welfare system, but i have $ put away just in case all this ends with the reset and globalists taking over, Australia is pretty boring though unless you have a good network or great hobbies! I am reducing gradually pregablin, gives me insane itching, you go down very gradually, 20%ish per week!🎉i swim but he is right you pay a price on everything! I wouldn't give to child, no way!🎉
fuuuuu i am suffering!!!
People do not go to sleep if they inject too many stimulants. I work in a hospital with people after they overdose. Overamping does not lead to falling asleep. None of this information should be taken as accurate.
Probably up for days Probably. Seems like ppl with high tolerance sleep. Like coffee addicts.
