EDIT:I am also aware that this can interact with other meds -- I don't take other meds and I've been reading about this medication for years, it's just not accessible for me to get prescribed!

I would strongly advise against self medicating or ‘trying’ someone else’s medication. I’ve taken Veyvanse under supervision and had to stop because it caused such high blood pressure I could have had a stroke or heart attack at any time. 40mg is also too high for a starting dose. Besides anything else, taking a single dose in isolation will give no real indication of how you would cope on the medication. You’ll likely feel pretty euphoric during the day you have it but then may well experience a major come-down later on. (You won’t have a clue how long it will last in your specific system because that’s determined largely by individual genetics.) I suffered major (suicidal) comedown at the end of the day, although I was able to take it again quite effectively in combination with Wellbutrin / Bupropion, but still had to stop due to the cardiac risk. Medications affect different individuals in wildly different ways, which is why it’s essential to take them under close supervision. Apart from anything else you have to go through a period of titration to establish the appropriate dosage for your body, which may take a number of months or longer to get right. Just taking the old bill here, and there is exactly how people become dependent and suffer increasingly wild mood swings..

When I went on vyvanse I got severe anxiety started having bad panic attacks where I’d throw up and got very on edge and irritable felt like everyone was trying to upset me all the time so it didn’t work for me medications are very specific to the individual I’m on xenidate now but I don’t feel it helps me but I have other problems to sort out before I mess with my adhd meds

For me vyvance made me way more nauseous than adderall does. But I had way more focus, although that could be cause they changed the formula since I took vyvance. But amphetamines are the most helpful for my adhd in general - I’ve taken everything else my insurance would cover in the past so I’ve got a lot to compare it to.

Come down was baddd not worth the up when the down makes you nearly unfunctional
