Vyvanse. Strattera makes me feel sick (like, as if I have a cold) and extremely pissed off 24/7. Does absolutely nothing for the ADHD.

have you tried adderall? right now i’m on 15mg extended release.

tbh i took vyvanse recreationally as a teenager and i had an experience much closer to the one depicted in this meme, whereas right now on adderall i’m having something closer to what you described. i’ve been meaning to talk to my doctor about it but i keep putting it off lmao

Adderall works better for a while, then its effectiveness tapers over time. I think I wanna switch back to Adderall though, since I don't take my medication very often anymore anyways

they generally like to prescribe a single dose of extended release per day, but if you think it might be a better option DO talk to your doctor about getting a split dosage of regular ass adderall twice daily. it’s kinda uncommon but i’ve heard a lot of good things!

that might honestly be the solution to my issues as well, i’m torn between that and vyvanse. going in on the 21st tho so i’m gonna be trying one of em! lmao
