If it brings you down, that's a definite sign that you have ADHD. If not, it doesn't exactly mean you don't have ADHD. Everyone reacts to different medications. What type do you have (inattentive, hyperactive, both?)
I was on Concerta 54mg but I had little effect. It still worked but it was so minimal. That was when I was switched. My psych suggested I get a genetic test done, and it turns out I had a gene which makes me metabolise it poorly. Vyvanse, according to it, is the perfect med.
The positives? Everything! Refer back to my original post. It feels great to not to experience it all the time. I'm on a low dose and I fon't take it unless I need to accomplish a task I need to focus on, do tolerance won't build up as fast.
Negatives? Lol, sleep is common. I get tired on it (another thing tgst confirms thst it's ADHD!) But my psych has me take a sleep med stack. That stack is Vistaril 50mg, Melatonin 5mg and 400mg of magnesium glycinate. Drink it diwn with Chamomile tea. It works decently for me. I do have Ambien 5mg for rare use if say I haven't slept well in two days.
The other? It does curb my appetite significantly. I feel fuller on less. So, I have lost weight.
