Vyvanse ‘’high’’ experience

“My doctor recommended Vyvanse. I was started out on a 30mg dose, which didn’t really do much after the first couple days. Just last week my dose was increased to 50mg. I have to say, I love this medication! It lasts all day, unlike the Adderall which I had to take a second dose in the late afternoon. It helps me focus like crazy, the first few times I took it were intense, but now I am starting to get used to it and it is has such a nice, steady, even effect.”

Vyvanse apparently has serious potential as a focus and study drug:

“Started Vyvanse approx. one year ago with intent to use it as a study aid. Literally the most effective shit ever. I took it in the AM on a day I needed to get work done. Essentially, I’d have the patience to sit in the library for 10 hours doing nothing but solid studying.”

It’s not a wonder drug, though. This same user noted that they would have to give themselves a rest, and sometimes found themselves experiencing some side effects:

“Also, I picked up on several side effects: talkative to the point where my friends would beg me to shut up, fingers/toes get cold, sweaty arm pits, euphoric ‘I have control/I’m on top of the world’ feeling, and anxiety regarding uncertainties or events (like upcoming tests/assignments).”
