So I’m in titration and I’m currently on Vyvanse 50mg. I’ve already tried methylphenidate up to around 60mg I think, but they just made me jittery. The Vyvanse doesn’t seem to be a whole lot better. I guess I feel ever so slightly better but it’s somewhat of an out-of-body experience and I feel the crash before the end of the work day. What I really wanted help with was my memory and context switching, and to be able to speak more clearly. I think that might have fixed all the other disorganisation issues, etc.

I’m considering asking to try the non-stimulant ones but I can’t really find anecdotal evidence of their effectiveness. Anyone tried them?

    Do you eat before you took your meds? I had a similar problem and I just started drinking a protein shake in the morning. It might digest slower and last longer too?

      I take it at about 8:30 with my porridge at work and it wears off around 2/3pm.
