Vyvance has changed my life. My wife is no longer in a carer role. My business was failing. Ive turned it around and, more important, love my work. I wake up feeling good, and my mood remains stable all day long. I call it Angel Dust. Downsides? Loss of appitite, plus food no longer tastes like anything. Sleep disruption. Worst: stomach pain and nausea/vomiting. Solution: I take a break on weekends. Trade off? No question. Benefits far exceed the costs. Saturated in gratitude to have it. Only wish is that it had been earlier. I got diagnosed at 66. Im on 20mgs.
I also just started 20mg dose (was diagnosed a few days ago) and literally a few hours after I took it the first time I started crying out of joy because it was just… quiet
Thank you so much for this excellent video. In a 50yo male recently diagnosed with ADHD with a scientific background. It's been really hard to find information at this level. You've answered so many questions for me! Thank you!
Just started on Vyvanse. My doctor gave my 20mg for a week then 30mg after that. Even the lower dose is making a huge difference. I finally feel a sense of quiet in my head that I’ve never felt before. I find it a lot easier to start task, I get distracted less, and when I do get distracted I’m actual able to pull my attention back after just a few minutes.
I'm glad that it's working out for you. My doctor started me on 10mg yesterday. I just feel really drowsy and relaxed.. like I just drank nighttime Neocitrine. So it was interesting to see in the video that 30-70mg is the therapeutic dose.
how did the first week feel like?i took 30 the first day i was zombified. also. but now it doesn't feel like anything just decreased my appetite (this is my 9th day on ghe meds)
@@sansanm9453 It was interesting. Some days I was able to get a crazy amount of concentration, but other days I could barely feel a difference. I’m in university so it’s easy for me to measure productivity. There were a couple days I just spent in bed on my phone. When I first take the pill and the focus comes in, I have to make sure I’m doing work. Otherwise I’ll just squander the day. The “wow” factor of the first 2 days hasn’t come back yet. Maybe I’ve just gotten used to it. 20mg definitely wears off sooner then I would like. About 6 hours later I start to feel the focus go away. Around 8 hours later the quiet in my mind leaves. Hopefully 30mg last longer. I also have to get better with utilizing it’s effects. I’ve been eating slightly less, especially lunch. But I make sure to have a big dinner, because if I don’t I’ll get a massive headache and intense starvation when it wears off. My sleep schedule is unaffected. I even took it at 2pm one day and was able to get to bed with only slightly more difficulty. Mood has been somewhat inconsistent. Over the weekend I was in bed most of the day. I realize that I may have had a mild depressive episode, but after realizing the medication may have been causing it, the symptoms subsided. One subtle effect that I don’t like is that I feel a bit more distant to my girlfriend. We’ve been together 2.5 years and we’re very close. Right now we are long distance, so this isn’t the best test. But I can tell I feel different. I love her just the same and we talk everyday, but it’s as if I need her less. I’m not a fan of this change and I’m worried it will get worse on 30mg, but let’s see. She’s also on some meds, so chances are she’ll understand. On the other hand most of my other relationships are improving. I find that I’m reaching out to people more and don’t leave messages unread, so that’s nice. Let’s see what’s in store for 30mg.
Yep. I'm misophonic and I'm watching with subtitles and the sound off. Not saying they shouldn't put sfx on their vid just maybe consider that some people react badly to this type of sound and that's a bunch of effort wasted (those asmr folks probably love it though but thats a whole other youtube genre 😜).
Thank you so so very much not only to explain things in detail, but to pause between the words/lines, and stressing important points you are making, and it really help me understand and pay even closer attention to them!
This was so interesting! Now it makes sense that I got much better control over my binge eating after I was put on Elvanse by my psychiatrist (as treatment for my ADHD). I had a very good effect on my ADHD from Elvanse, much better than Concerta.
Thanks for the videos! Please make one about the non-stimulant medications 🙏 as someone with Bipolar Disorder (who might also have ADHD, since the adhd-like symptoms seem to persist even in euthymia), I'm interested in learning more about them. I've heard about Qelbree, but like all other ADHD meds it's not available in my country (Ritalin is the only ADHD med approved here)... what treatments can help with ADHD symptoms that are primarily executive dysfunction related (like chronic procrastination, chronic lateness / time-blindness, lack of motivation, sleep procrastination etc.)? Thank you 💟
Check out wellbutrin. Let me know how it goes. Wellbutrin isn't directly a stimulant but an antidepressant ndri. Only one in it's class. Will save more dopamine in the synapse which will deal with Adhd symptoms as well as pulling you a bit up out of the depression apathy
Bupropion can be an option as well as atomixetine and quelbree as you mentioned. Trintellix can also be considered. Though they all still have a potential to induce mania, but not as high a risk as the stimulants. You can also try natural treatments such as Omega 3s, B12, Rhodiola, OPCs, etc.
Wellbutrin ❤ works for me with bipolar 2, and suspected add symptoms in euthymia. Omega 3, magnesium glycinate and creatin definitely helps my bipolar too. I also some periods take NAC. Look them all up and read about it. There's also a bipolar guide to supplements online 😊
@@dodgdurango6128 vyvanse makes it wayyy harder to sleep since it’s a stimulant. So it’s probably not just beliefs lol. What you can do though, is avoid taking the medication after 10am
@EscapeArtist11777 I wish you the best! 🙏🏻 Today, it's my third day of Vyvanse. I notice little positive effects. Luckily, I have minor side effects. It's not the final dose, but I'll be optimistic.
I was on vyvanse for a couple years then switched to concerta and I feel WAY better on the concerta. I feel like it’s helping my depression and anxiety in addition to ADHD symptoms.

Aww man. I've just started taking mine and no wonder I've been having sleep issues..... have been taking way too late 🤣🤦🏻♀️. Appreciate this video. So will my sleep!
Vyvanse is a miracle drug for me. I had mild ADHD that was easily managed through CBT, but lately it’s been more difficult to manage, AND I started to get binging issues as well as sleep issue. This drug not only brought me back to the old me where I can get things done and I can focus, but it stopped the binging (and food noise) and I’ve been getting a restful sleep. The only things that I had to change was I have to watch my caffeine intake, and I have to wait one hour after taking the drug before I can have orange juice or put lemons in my water.
*The shortages been impactful trying to call in pharmacies seem to be a waste of time, luckily crossed paths with a reputable forum i obtain authentic Vyvanse, a'ddys, O.xys, x.ans & other meds. They're well facilitated & ship discreetly anywhere*
I started on 10 mg. I think it's too low. I don't really feel anything. But I had an adverse reaction to Dexedrine 10 mg, so I think my doctor rightly was being extra cautious.
I was taking the 70mg daily doses of it. Needed to reduce to 30mg and will switch to Atomoxetine next month due to side effects. I had strong stomach aches and needed hemorrhoidectomy surgery. Good job on explaining Vyvanse. Do you have a video like this about Atomoxetine? I'll search. Thanks 👍🏼
I’ve been in vyvance for about a 2 weeks now. I haven’t noticed a single difference and I like adderall better. is adderall stronger? Because with adderall I feel more motivated

I am 1:46 in and I can't watch this anymore. All I'm hearing is a slew of giant words that mean absolutely nothing to me, with no breaks of simpler terms. My brain has begun tuning it all out, and those snapping sounds are further jolting me. I'm trying to learn more about different ADHD meds, but ironically this video isn't ADHD friendly.

@PreciousWillam I'm looking into Vyvance specifically because it can be taken with food without dropping its effectiveness. My work schedule is highly random, so being able to eat while taking meds is a big plus for me. Keeping other meds in mind if Vyvanse doesn't work out, I know not all meds work the same for everyone.
Hey i am using parixtocin from almost a year want to stop it does I'll face lifelong withdrwal symptoms or for a particular span of time does it will affect my memory in any way.। Pleass reply
Great video!! I did have a question about vasoconstriction, which you touched on. Can vasoconstriction lead to increased muscle stiffness and pain when taking stimulants? My Vyvanse works great but is making my whole body sore and flaring up my orginal areas of chronic pain. Thanks!
That is interesting. I would suspect inflammation and rule autoimmune conditions and leaky gut. Support blood and lymph flow with stretching and massage. Support gut brain axis with anti inflammatory diet and good probiotic like MegaSpore. It is possible Vyvanse is activating your sympathetic nervous system and therefore increasing inflammatory markers like cortisol.
@@LevelheadedMind Thank you so much for the info! Is it true that caffeine also increases cortisol the same way? Should I be avoiding caffeine entirely while taking Vyvanse? How do the two interact?
@@hendrikjefell6894 Thank you so much for responding to my question with your own experience! Were you told any details on how specifically it interacts? Does caffeine and alcohol make your body burn through Vyvase quicker?
@@hendrikjefell6894how do you say yes and then follow it up with someone told me….. it’s medical advice stop giving it if you don’t actually know what you are talking about
Stahl 's Prescriber's Guide pg 409. I note all my references in the description. He specifically states that it can take several weeks to attain maximum therapeutic benefit. This is also what I see in practice with my patients as well, give it at least 8 weeks before deciding it is not working for you.
@@LevelheadedMind Thank you, found it. Doesn't really convince me though, as I can't find an actual study. I have found one that describes this effect with regards to binge eating though. Perhaps that's what the guide is ambiguously referencing.
As someone who takes this you have to take breaks from it otherwise you will find yourself getting strange thoughts and increased paranoia. Don't take it on days you don't work... or take a lower dose.
@@Etaoinshrdlu69 I don't get that but anxiety sometimes (mainly depending if I'm already stressed or not) so I don't take it some days if I know I'm gonna feel like that
Does anyone have any experience on Vyvanse, where it made you gain weight or increase your appetite? I have problems being underweight, so I’m hoping that this doesn’t make me lose even more.
@@zezezep I’ve heard that, but my doctor said it may help me regulate my eating better which would obvi in-turn help with weight gain. I’m on day 2 tho, and I was able to force myself to eat better than usual so that’s good. 👍
I'm on Elvanse (EU name for Vyvanse) 30mg. I seem to feel the effects after one hour, and it also seems to run out, depending on the day, after 5 to 8 hours. I do have some minor effects that last until a day after, but nothing as effective as when the med is really active.
I changed to the european version Elvanse too. From the usa Vyvanse 30mg was my perfect dose.. I started taking the Elvanse 30mg and I didnt even felt it, I take now the 50mg Elvanse. I feel it still slightly weaket than the american version of 30mg Vyvanse. My only side effect are thirst, and diarhea.. but at least I can feel normal.
I am on Vyvanse(40 mg) and the way it was explained to me is that it takes a couple hours or so to take effect. This means that I have to get up a couple hours early on work days. But it also means that I can take 2 days off from the medication and will not go into withdrawal. So, on my days off, that's what I do. The Nazis who run the DEA make it extremely difficult to refill this medication.
Christmas time I was officially diagnosed with ADHD ! I have finally been given my tablets sfter a successful ecg scan blood pressure etc , however I feel like nothing has changed but bare in mind I'm an ex coke head ! Might it be my dosage as I'm starting on 20mg , is that low ?
@@vaughn7130 thankyou fir the reply ... yes we agreed it was ( me and adhd nurse ) they have doubled me up on dosage plus moved me away from lizdexamphetime to methylphenidate !!! My brain fog has finally gone
Mam plz reply I'm on luvox for ocd but didn't get relief in my gad doc is adding lexapro with luvox can two ssri can be taken together is there any dangerous side effects? Plz reply
Here in Australia we have very terrible supply issue for the Lisdexamphetime / VYVANSE! Is that the same for you? We can only get either 20 or 70MG I was on 30 or 40MG and now jumped up to 70 as that’s the only ones available. Any insights of these supply issues?
The global shortage is starting to resolve itself, although periodic shortages may continue throughout 2024. Best thing to do is ask your doctor to issue prescription scripts more frequently (weekly/bi-weekly) to account for any time medication is out of stock. Then you’ll reduce the chances of running out and always have a new supply ready to collect. If you’re on 40MG and only 20MG is available you can prescribe 2x 20MG capsules to make up the 40MG dose. Likewise, you can split a 70MG capsule into two to get approx. 35MG - although this is less advisable unless dissolving in water. It’s unusual to see a sudden jump to 70MG from 30MG or 40MG. Dose increases are typically made in increments of 10MG. 70MG is the highest dose and you can open yourself up to the risk of abuse if it’s too strong for what your body needs. Side effects such as euphoria become more apparent in higher doses and it can lead to dependence.
Yeah I heard that! A few months ago my pharmacist told me they were out of 50s but I was just put on 60s in time I guess... Maybe it's cause it's recently been put on psb or because it's the first line treatment for adults with adhd, with more people being diagnosed too.
For me I only felt the euphoria the first couple days I was on it (30mg) but also I felt so tired. Dr thought fatigue was my mind finally settling down. But I've also heard we get euphoria the first time we take it.
@@David1212-p9dI can't speak for them but I assume cause for some people (and depending on the day) vyvanse can have unwanted side effects like anxiety and high heart rate, so in those times I feel like if I were to exercise I might get a heart attack (just the heart rate makes me feel like that but I doubt it.) So sometimes the thought of a higher dose equals anxiety. Sometimes I put half my capsule in water and throw out the rest because at times I wonder if 60mg is too high a dose for me.
I started vyvanse very slowly . 10mg , felt drowsy .only 3 days. Then I took 20mg for 3 days in a row. I was so tired , while driving I felt the need to pull over and wanted to sleep. So I don’t really know if it’s going to get better , it doesn’t work. Or I really don’t have adhd after all, which was disappointing as I had hope for this as an older diagnosed female
I just started 10mg yesterday and I feel really drowsy as well. I just want to sleep all day. Concerta did the opposite when it was working for a week. I was motivated, focused, and my anxiety went away.
@@ic_0129 I’m on 20mg now.. the drowsiness did go down fyi but still don’t notice much. Going very slow on dosing due to comorbid panic disorder. Honestly , I have such bad anxiety that I’m not sure I will be able to tolerate stimulant at this point in life :/ Maybe I will look into concerta like you
@@ic_0129 im on 20mg now, the drowsiness did go away after that 3rd or 4th day fyi but I’m not noticing much else . Dosing up slowly due to comorbid panic issues. I may not be able to tolerate stimulants with the anxiety issues I have at this point in life :/ Maybe I will ask about concerta , sounds like it helped anxiety and focus
@@ic_0129 the drowsiness went away after 3 days but I’m not noticing much at 20 mg, and they are dosing it slowly due to panic issues. I may have to ask for something else due to anxiety , perhaps need a higher dose or perhaps it’s just too late for me. I am in early 40
I like how you have little sounds and images pop up but they dont linger. Things like that help me stay watching the video although i will admit I've paused to mention the click sound is a little annoying the pop sounds are great though and having key phrases on the screen as well its great I am on vyvanse but I still really struggle to sit and listen to someone talk for longer than 7 minutes sometimes that being a bit much.
Horrible drug, this drug caused mania and extreme rage when i was 13-14-15 . This drug was very very harmful to my health, highly recommend staying far away from it.
Well, people aren’t all you, so it’s not really fair to label the drug itself that way in general. We all have different body chemistry, drug reactions, genetics, health conditions, comorbidities, histories, and lifestyles. All of those things and more play a role in determining how a medication will work for someone. Drugs that I have reacted to absolutely terribly, that made me sick or seriously worsened my mental health, are drugs that have been lifesavers for other people. That said, I’m sorry you had that experience, sounds terrible!
dear dr Rosa. Don't you know what's going on in medical schools regarding the dominant control big pharma has on the this institutes in every way from the learning material you've learned aimed to make a Production line of mediators between them and the general poblic by producing "doctors" ? didn't you find it bizarre that all illnesses are idiopathic and the "only" solution is that chemical or the other ? because a lot of doctors picked that up during their school years from all the censorship and the unwilling to give them persuasive answers for just about anything. or that you know exactly what I'm talking about but you just decided to go with it and be a happy part of the crimes against humanity for greed industry ?

oops let me delete my comment requesting a video about Strattera LoL. ditto to the above!
YOU MADE THE VIDEO YAY :) Thanks!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Man, mine hits right away and last 2-3h then I crash :(
70mg lasts about 8 hours for me. The wakefulness keeps going for a bit longer but most symptoms are back after 8 hours.
Having the same issue
I’ve been reading that if you take with protein right after instead of carbs, that it lasts longer.
I struggled with the for a long time. I finally got 3x20mg (instead of 1x70mg) per day and now I have about 12 hours of therapeutic effect.
If Vyvanse is a Cadillac, is Adderall a Honda?
Adderall is the bmw 😫😫
Can you take less than 30 to start off?
I know they come in 20s possibly 10s too, some people benefit from those doses so I'm sure you can.
I’ve been in vyvance for about a 2 weeks now. I haven’t noticed a single difference and I like adderall better. is adderall stronger? Because with adderall I feel more motivated
No, Adderall is not stronger, per se. Just some people will respond better to Adderall and others to Vyvanse.
Great breakdown on vyvance
I didn’t feel a real difference then all the sudden it’s like 1 cup of coffee and also calmer in my mind

I am 1:46 in and I can't watch this anymore. All I'm hearing is a slew of giant words that mean absolutely nothing to me, with no breaks of simpler terms. My brain has begun tuning it all out, and those snapping sounds are further jolting me. I'm trying to learn more about different ADHD meds, but ironically this video isn't ADHD friendly.
[Adderall, also Xanax helps a lot in treatment of ADHD, Anxiety, PTSD and have benefited a lot then. i 'did recommend you to this reliable place i always grab some from very affordable and ships to any location also guide newbies on rations]

@PreciousWillam I'm looking into Vyvance specifically because it can be taken with food without dropping its effectiveness. My work schedule is highly random, so being able to eat while taking meds is a big plus for me. Keeping other meds in mind if Vyvanse doesn't work out, I know not all meds work the same for everyone.
Hey i am using parixtocin from almost a year want to stop it does I'll face lifelong withdrwal symptoms or for a particular span of time does it will affect my memory in any way.। Pleass reply
Great video!! I did have a question about vasoconstriction, which you touched on. Can vasoconstriction lead to increased muscle stiffness and pain when taking stimulants? My Vyvanse works great but is making my whole body sore and flaring up my orginal areas of chronic pain. Thanks!
That is interesting. I would suspect inflammation and rule autoimmune conditions and leaky gut. Support blood and lymph flow with stretching and massage. Support gut brain axis with anti inflammatory diet and good probiotic like MegaSpore. It is possible Vyvanse is activating your sympathetic nervous system and therefore increasing inflammatory markers like cortisol.
@@LevelheadedMind Thank you so much for the info! Is it true that caffeine also increases cortisol the same way? Should I be avoiding caffeine entirely while taking Vyvanse? How do the two interact?
@@dannysmith8665 yes, I've been told to avoid caffeine and alcohol completely while on it as it interacts with the drug a lot
@@hendrikjefell6894 Thank you so much for responding to my question with your own experience! Were you told any details on how specifically it interacts? Does caffeine and alcohol make your body burn through Vyvase quicker?
@@hendrikjefell6894how do you say yes and then follow it up with someone told me….. it’s medical advice stop giving it if you don’t actually know what you are talking about
Just started vyvanse a week ago, can someone tell me if the insomnia gets any better with time?
You may need to lower the dose.
"Effectiveness may improve over time". Is there a source for this? I can't find any. What would even be the mechanism?
Stahl 's Prescriber's Guide pg 409. I note all my references in the description. He specifically states that it can take several weeks to attain maximum therapeutic benefit. This is also what I see in practice with my patients as well, give it at least 8 weeks before deciding it is not working for you.
@@LevelheadedMind Thank you, found it. Doesn't really convince me though, as I can't find an actual study. I have found one that describes this effect with regards to binge eating though. Perhaps that's what the guide is ambiguously referencing.
As someone who takes this you have to take breaks from it otherwise you will find yourself getting strange thoughts and increased paranoia. Don't take it on days you don't work... or take a lower dose.
@@Etaoinshrdlu69 I don't get that but anxiety sometimes (mainly depending if I'm already stressed or not) so I don't take it some days if I know I'm gonna feel like that
@Etaoinshrdlu69 Yes.
I take a break on the weekends.
Does anyone have any experience on Vyvanse, where it made you gain weight or increase your appetite? I have problems being underweight, so I’m hoping that this doesn’t make me lose even more.
i believe it helps people lose weight
@@zezezep I’ve heard that, but my doctor said it may help me regulate my eating better which would obvi in-turn help with weight gain. I’m on day 2 tho, and I was able to force myself to eat better than usual so that’s good. 👍
@@shebeekitty that's interesting
My adderall 30 mg twice a day makes me hungry I've gain about 20 pounds since October on mine
@jasonprewitt742 how?
I'm on Elvanse (EU name for Vyvanse) 30mg. I seem to feel the effects after one hour, and it also seems to run out, depending on the day, after 5 to 8 hours. I do have some minor effects that last until a day after, but nothing as effective as when the med is really active.
I changed to the european version Elvanse too. From the usa Vyvanse 30mg was my perfect dose.. I started taking the Elvanse 30mg and I didnt even felt it, I take now the 50mg Elvanse. I feel it still slightly weaket than the american version of 30mg Vyvanse.
My only side effect are thirst, and diarhea.. but at least I can feel normal.
Please review Adzeny XR-0DT . I Respect your analysis. Thanks
Burproprion xl and vyvanse safe to take together?
Would also like to know this
Hello,and Dexedrine SR?
I am on Vyvanse(40 mg) and the way it was explained to me is that it takes a couple hours or so to take effect. This means that I have to get up a couple hours early on work days. But it also means that I can take 2 days off from the medication and will not go into withdrawal. So, on my days off, that's what I do. The Nazis who run the DEA make it extremely difficult to refill this medication.
I just started treatment 20 mg i am terrified of getting hairloss from it…. is hairloss a common side effect?
I've never read or heard of that being a side effect anywhere.
how are you feling after starting it?
Not really linked to hair loss. Drink lot of water
@@Lizziee247lol why do people comment who have no idea what they are talking about… it’s absolutely a side effect… but it’s very rare.
@@TennisPro4686289 i think i read it as a side effect on a diffrend adhd drug but idk ab this one
As I'm from the UK, what does the cadillac reference mean?
Essentially it means that it's the best. Top of the line. Nothing really beats it.
It means it's a smooth ride, without the bumpy up and down effect.
Desoxyn is the best Cadillac "old school Caddy" and we know those are the best like from the early 1950's
can i take vyvanse and ozempic together?
Yes , my endocrinologist confirmed this .
I have
What do you mean by Cadillac?
The best one
She says because it’s the “smoothest ride” and avoids the roller coaster ups and downs of other stimulants.
Modern cadillacs are pretty terrible cars. But your point is still taken.
Christmas time I was officially diagnosed with ADHD ! I have finally been given my tablets sfter a successful ecg scan blood pressure etc , however I feel like nothing has changed but bare in mind I'm an ex coke head ! Might it be my dosage as I'm starting on 20mg , is that low ?
For an ex coke head your dosage may be too low
@@vaughn7130 thankyou fir the reply ... yes we agreed it was ( me and adhd nurse ) they have doubled me up on dosage plus moved me away from lizdexamphetime to methylphenidate !!! My brain fog has finally gone
Mam plz reply I'm on luvox for ocd but didn't get relief in my gad doc is adding lexapro with luvox can two ssri can be taken together is there any dangerous side effects? Plz reply
@@stmrp8622 I'm on now luvox and Effexor is if safe
You will need to be monitored for serotonin syndrome.
@@LevelheadedMind how my luvox dose is 200 ang lexapro 20 how should I monitored any advice please🙏
@@LevelheadedMindTalk to your doctor not some random person on the internet
Here in Australia we have very terrible supply issue for the Lisdexamphetime / VYVANSE!
Is that the same for you?
We can only get either 20 or 70MG
I was on 30 or 40MG and now jumped up to 70 as that’s the only ones available.
Any insights of these supply issues?
The global shortage is starting to resolve itself, although periodic shortages may continue throughout 2024. Best thing to do is ask your doctor to issue prescription scripts more frequently (weekly/bi-weekly) to account for any time medication is out of stock. Then you’ll reduce the chances of running out and always have a new supply ready to collect. If you’re on 40MG and only 20MG is available you can prescribe 2x 20MG capsules to make up the 40MG dose. Likewise, you can split a 70MG capsule into two to get approx. 35MG - although this is less advisable unless dissolving in water. It’s unusual to see a sudden jump to 70MG from 30MG or 40MG. Dose increases are typically made in increments of 10MG. 70MG is the highest dose and you can open yourself up to the risk of abuse if it’s too strong for what your body needs. Side effects such as euphoria become more apparent in higher doses and it can lead to dependence.
Yeah I heard that! A few months ago my pharmacist told me they were out of 50s but I was just put on 60s in time I guess... Maybe it's cause it's recently been put on psb or because it's the first line treatment for adults with adhd, with more people being diagnosed too.
@@dWFnZWVr thank you for your sound advice
there are still shortages in Melbourne
Click away Jezel! I actually love it!. Idgaf what everyone else is saying. Don't change your ways due to ignorant comments please.
I’ve been taking it wrong this whole time🤦🏽♀️
I would think a common side effect or side effect would also be euphoria.
Definitely can be if abused or used in higher doseages than needed.
My Heart would stop before that happens!😂
@@rosemiller417 why?
For me I only felt the euphoria the first couple days I was on it (30mg) but also I felt so tired. Dr thought fatigue was my mind finally settling down. But I've also heard we get euphoria the first time we take it.
@@David1212-p9dI can't speak for them but I assume cause for some people (and depending on the day) vyvanse can have unwanted side effects like anxiety and high heart rate, so in those times I feel like if I were to exercise I might get a heart attack (just the heart rate makes me feel like that but I doubt it.)
So sometimes the thought of a higher dose equals anxiety. Sometimes I put half my capsule in water and throw out the rest because at times I wonder if 60mg is too high a dose for me.
I started vyvanse very slowly . 10mg , felt drowsy .only 3 days.
Then I took 20mg for 3 days in a row. I was so tired , while driving I felt the need to pull over and wanted to sleep.
So I don’t really know if it’s going to get better , it doesn’t work. Or I really don’t have adhd after all, which was disappointing as I had hope for this as an older diagnosed female
I experienced this with Vyvanse as well but not with Adderall, which for me works much better in that regard.
I just started 10mg yesterday and I feel really drowsy as well. I just want to sleep all day. Concerta did the opposite when it was working for a week. I was motivated, focused, and my anxiety went away.
@@ic_0129 I’m on 20mg now.. the drowsiness did go down fyi but still don’t notice much.
Going very slow on dosing due to comorbid panic disorder.
Honestly , I have such bad anxiety that I’m not sure I will be able to tolerate stimulant at this point in life :/
Maybe I will look into concerta like you
@@ic_0129 im on 20mg now, the drowsiness did go away after that 3rd or 4th day fyi
but I’m not noticing much else .
Dosing up slowly due to comorbid panic issues.
I may not be able to tolerate stimulants with the anxiety issues I have at this point in life :/
Maybe I will ask about concerta , sounds like it helped anxiety and focus
@@ic_0129 the drowsiness went away after 3 days but I’m not noticing much at 20 mg, and they are dosing it slowly due to panic issues.
I may have to ask for something else due to anxiety , perhaps need a higher dose or perhaps it’s just too late for me. I am in early 40
Why are you clicking so much
Don’t be mad at the channel that you can’t handle the clicking
Probably to keep our attention😂
Chest pain turned me off otherwise it was great
Take a shot whenever she says Amfetamine
Vyv f me up ..what’s an appetite
Did your growth stunt?
That sudden death dors not sit well with me. It reminds me of the latest jab they're pushing. Not so comforting!
I like how you have little sounds and images pop up but they dont linger. Things like that help me stay watching the video although i will admit I've paused to mention the click sound is a little annoying the pop sounds are great though and having key phrases on the screen as well its great I am on vyvanse but I still really struggle to sit and listen to someone talk for longer than 7 minutes sometimes that being a bit much.
All fun and games till you have to quit.
Hehe, not the Cadillac of stimulants any more. Now it's the car which works one month and the next is a dud.
The unnecessary clicking made me quit watching. Either you or your editor should really consider not creating anymore videos.
Cry about it
I can understand it can be annoying. But that's a pretty harsh comment.
It's possible to give constructive feedback in a nicer way.
This was confusing for people who dont know about cars
As a doctor you should know better that there is no best ADHD medication, they all effect each individual differently and have different side effects.
Stop the clicking noises!!!! Stop!
why a CADILLAC? hahaha that's so funny. in don't understand why a Cadillac.
Horrible drug, this drug caused mania and extreme rage when i was 13-14-15 . This drug was very very harmful to my health, highly recommend staying far away from it.
Well, people aren’t all you, so it’s not really fair to label the drug itself that way in general. We all have different body chemistry, drug reactions, genetics, health conditions, comorbidities, histories, and lifestyles. All of those things and more play a role in determining how a medication will work for someone. Drugs that I have reacted to absolutely terribly, that made me sick or seriously worsened my mental health, are drugs that have been lifesavers for other people. That said, I’m sorry you had that experience, sounds terrible!
dear dr Rosa.
Don't you know what's going on in medical schools regarding the dominant control big pharma has on the this institutes in every way from the learning material you've learned aimed to make a Production line of mediators between them and the general poblic by producing "doctors" ?
didn't you find it bizarre that all illnesses are idiopathic and the "only" solution is that chemical or the other ?
because a lot of doctors picked that up during their school years from all the censorship and the unwilling to give them persuasive answers for just about anything.
or that you know exactly what I'm talking about but you just decided to go with it and be a happy part of the crimes against humanity for greed industry ?
Brother, this is an informative video on Vyvanse. Why are you here being angry about big pharma? Go somewhere else and get mad about that. Christ
So what's the Cadillac of all ADD non-stimulants that wont make you feel like a zombie? thanks
I think you are looking for the Rolls-Royce. Probably in the year 2030 or something...
Non of them, I've tried 2 of them total over priced junk.
