  • In this episode, I discuss a medication known as Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine) and go over three things that you should know before using it:
    1. Potential for change in appetite
    2. Potential for insomnia
    3. Black Box Warning

    I've been on Vyvanse a couple times. In my experience (and this will vary person to person, obviously) Vyvanse is kind of an odd medication. Some days it seems to work really well and some days it seems to hardly work at all. I'm sure its due to a number of factors including other medications I take and how my body metabolizes the Vyvanse. Just thought I would mention this in case anyone else is going to start taking it and that they might experience the same.

      I notice issues with effectiveness when I don’t get good sleep or smoke weed before bed. Feels like half of the dose is used to counter these two negative things I mentioned. When I get good sleep and don’t smoke it is great. I try not to take as much or any on weekends where I’m doing more leisure activities which I feel helps with becoming reliant on it. My psychiatrist says that it can be good for me to do that. Also of course the vitamin c and acidic drinks/foods have been said to diminish its effects within an hour of taking your dose.
      For anyone else reading this I added my own comment on this video about my experience with it which has been overall really fantastic. Also smoking weed is really not good for ADD so I try not to do it.

      Vyvanse uses your bioavailable enzymes in your liver to act effectively. The way you get these essential enzymes you must eat a high protein meal. If you took vyvanse and noticed some days it’s less effective, that is because you either had a low amount of those enzymes, or you didn’t sleep good, or a combination of both

    It’s pretty important to know about the crash you can get when the Vyvanse starts wearing off. In patients with depression the crash has a major effect on mood & is likely to exacerbate the depression at least until the crash has passed. This would be one of the first things I’d tell someone wanting to start Vyvanse. It’s an effective drug that helps many people & I respect that. I myself am on Vyvanse so note I’m speaking from my own experience but experiencing a crash from the drug is a common side effect.

    • @redefv

      I took Adderall and when it was hard to come by, I was switched to Vyvanse. When I came down from Adderall I would get angry. When I came down from Vyvanse I just got very sleepy. My doctor prescribed 40mg extended release Vyvanse and a 7.5 Adderall for when it wore off. That got me through to bed time.

      @derrick9605 so the crash makes you feel sad? For me, I just get tired. At first, I tried getting more sleep or going to bed earlier. That did not work. I think everyone expirences the crash. But the crash is different for many folks. I swear my crash off Adderall had me raging like the Incredible Hulk. That was not good for me personally.

      Thank you for sharing this. It's greatly appreciated. I'm adjusting to this medication as we speak. There are many advantages but the "crash" really worried me today. I also made several small yet frivolous shopping mistakes which was not like me at all. Are there adjustments I can make to my diet, sleep/exercise routine and lifestyle that may help prevent or ease this crash?

      Yes well I had that terrible crash from Dexamfetamine - it was extremely horrible!! So Im trying Vyvanse now only at 30mg which is doing nothing now for the first week then I’ll take 50mg I’m hoping for 70mg in the end or more, my body seems to dispense the medication very quickly and mildly, it could be because I also suffer form narcolepsy as well.

    @Litepaw 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

    Vyvanse is a 100 million times better than methylphenidate at least for me personally. It's abuse proof, doesn't cause any addictive euphoric rush, and genuinely helps me survive day to day. It's kinda like what caffeine is for normal people, or kinda like it's depicted in movies.
    I still have appetite, and have actually gained a bit of weight back after my malnutrition health disaster on methylphenidate.
    But on some days it feels like it's not working at all. I feel like it's the lysine shell that's causing it, maybe it just doesn't metabolize on some days. For some reason on some days it feels like it's working waay too much, and on some days it feels like I've taken a sugar pill and fall asleep throughout the day with the same crazy brain fog and fatigue that I had before I was diagnosed.

      I agree! It's so subtle I can't feel like I'm on anything except that I can focus better. Clonidine added to it helps any anxiety but I have anxiety off of any meds anyway. I wish I would have discovered both Vyvanse on Clonidine in my 30s instead of 50s. As for weightloss, it's a good thing when you're overweight anyway. Only a constant lowcarb diet keeps my weight down.

    I find that I become a little bit sensitive with textures when I take my vyvanse! I don't like eating meals aside from a big breakfast (before the medication) and diner. What helps is having multiple snacks that you can eat during the day! Having little crackers, apple sauce cups, fruits and smoothies allow me to "feed my medication" and small portions helps if the textures get too overwhelming.
    I hope this tip is helpfull. It's not rocket science but sometimes it's hard to identify how this lack of appetite manifest. I was told that it was because I was too focused but really, it was just that lunches didn't do the trick anymore.

    This made wonders for me as i had a tendency for eating all day long and now only need a normal lunch. I also take it right before quitting for the job in the morning since morning fog during all AM was the main way my ADHD was affecting me at work. I take always the same 40mg which ended up being a sweet spot. i might take less if i feel less foggy or 50 if i had a bad sleep and need an extra boost, and if i happen to have a very good night of sleep and know the day will be quiet, I might skip it for a day, usually once a week. I also never take it on the weekend, and just assume i will likely be unproductive in the morning, so my body and brain can relax and reset.

    I was on Vyvanse for several years and it was terrible. I wouldn’t eat throughout the day and would binge eat at night. Not to mention the sleep disruption despite taking my dose at 6:30am. About 6 months ago I was shifted onto a faster acting dexamfetamine and it’s so much better. I take my first dose at 6:30am and it’s worn off by lunch time so I can eat and then take my afternoon dose. Plus if I don’t have a busy day I can break the tablet in half and just have a half dose. It’s so much better than Vyvanse

    Vyvanse has been a benefit to me throughout the years that I have taken the med - I was first prescribed at 13 and switched over to adderall at 16.
    I found that vyvanse suited my needs far better than adderall as well as the side effects were less than I had experienced when taking adderall.
    I took adderall for about a year and stopped because, at the time I had learned how to apply my focus through me experience using ADHD meds and I didn’t want to take it anymore.
    That worked and I was successful although there has also been times that it has taken a lot more effort to get my desired end result; that being said, I stopped take ADHD meds for 7 years and I started vyvanse again just recently.
    I have experienced loss in muscle tissue and heightened loss in appetite which I did not experience as a teenager. To curb these side effects I have increased my daily aerobic routine and have made an effort to eat at specific times in the day.

I do acknowledge that these people have different reactions, both positive and negative. However, I feel like Vyvanse had changed my life. The surprising part is that it hasn't helps my overall ADHD a whole lot. But it energizes me. I feel ready to take on the world.

      I truly wish I knew what I was getting myself into when taking these meds. I was under the wrong impression that vyvanse was nothing like adderall and was less addictive and all that… i didn’t even realize it was a god damn amphetamine drug until much later when I actually read the medication name “lisdexamphetamine”… my amphetamine addiction got out of hand after a few years even going as far as trying meth. I don’t do that anymore and I’m actively trying to fight the addiction… I wish I knew how terrible this drug was before taking it. It robbed me and completely ruined anything good in my life. I was under the wrong impression from my doctor that it was “less addictive” than adderall which is complete BULLSHIT

      Talk to your doctor about maybe using a low dose of anti depressant (5mg) in addition to vyvanse. For the first 2 years i took vyvanse, It helped me with my appetite and had a more calming effect to counter the increase in anxiety and sensory input increase. After 2 years i was able to stop the antidepressants because my body got a bit more resistant to vyvanse and the more negative side effects were not present anymore.

    Just be careful, tolerance builds and you have to increase dosages if you're on it multiple times a week and when it stops working and you have no chemical help, ADHD/focus problems will get worse. All amphetamines can be neurotoxic in the long term and in high dosages, amphetamines downregulates your normal dopamime receptors, this can in the long term cause anhedonia, diminished drive, depression, tardive dyskinesia and certain psychotic disorders and in bad cases also brain damage, the effects of amphetamines on the brain is well studied. Just be careful, everything has pros and cons.

      Speed automatically goes to your system. Vyvanse does an extra step as it makes your body convert it into a form that could help you focus. This is why it's the only simulant (if I remember correctly) that the UK allows for ADHD. They know that it has a lesser potential for abuse for that reason.

      This comment struck me bro. Ive been taking ritalin for 1 year, but I got so many side effects. It was hard for me to be social because i felt emotionless for some reason, i also felt anxiety when talking due to rapid heartbeat, felt really hard to be happy also so I had to make an effort to smile all the time. Really hard to explain.
      But now I have been switching to lisdexamphetamine for 2 weeks and what u are saying IS SO TRUE in my case.
      I feel so much more socially relaxed, happy and in control of my feelings with vyvanse. The feeling also last way longer than with ritalin. Its a lot more stable medication, its just so much better in terms of side effects.
      Ritalin gave me social anxiety, rapid heartbeat, tense vocal chords, and emotional numbness, but it was worked great in terms of my studies which is why i used it for so long.
      Vyvanse has none of these negative side effects for me, except one. It gives me more reduced appetitte than ritalin, but I dont really mind that. Helps me to be healthy actually.
      Is this experience simmilar for u? Im really curious since ive only been taking vyvanse 2 weeks. Tje best thing for me with vyvanse is that i feel so much more motivated, happy and in control of my feelings :)

Before taking the meds in the morning, my eyesight is clear, but after taking the meds, it gets kind of blurry like when you smoke weed. The same was with concerta 18mg, which I took for a week before changing to vyvanse, but the blur was a bit more than vyvanse. I think Concerta gave me a little more motivation than Vyvanse, while Vyvanse is making me tired and sleepy.
    Now, I don't know which meds should I take next because if I increase the dosage on V, it might help with a bit more motivation, but might make me tired and sleepy even more. Ok, I'm going to go take a nap and it's only 11:30am and I took the med at 9:30am. 🫤
