I have known about my ADHD for several years. Ritalin worked but gave me headaches, so I stopped a few years back.
My daughter went to the Amen Clinic and is being successfully treated for ADHD. Last week, I met with an MD on the Amen Clinic's preferred list here in the Midwest and just started Vyvance.
It kind of works, but gives me headaches and occasionally some weakness. Has anybody had similar (or different, for that matter) experience with Vyvance.
I just started taking Vyvanse 8 days ago. This is my first adhd med so I don't have anything to compare it to. For me, it has been nothing short of remarkable. I seem to have experienced most of the good effects with minimal to no side effects.
You mention headaches. For me the only time I have headaches is in the morning when waking up (not bad and for just a little while). I didn't experience the weakness you mention. Actually it's been just the opposite for me. I've experienced greatly increased energy levels (without the need for the usual 4-5 cups of coffee
).BTW, I am a 42 yr old male. I am taking 30 mg of Vyvanse. Also, I was previously on 300 mg of Wellbutrin for depression so I have continued with that. However, I experienced some mild relief from depression with the Wellbrutrin. But experienced major relief from depression once I started on the Vyvanse.
I am starting vyvanse for the first time tomorrow. I've been on dexedrine for about three years before which I had short trials of strettera, ritalin and adderal.
Dexedrine has helped some but I still score 99 out of 120 on the Brown scale while using it so I am really hoping to find something that will give me a lot more improvement overall.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll turn out more lile easye than wtheld!
