Stimulants vyvanse

[xannyhead]

Ive been taking vyvanse (30mg). Started taking it around 11 months ago cuz of impulsivity, but Im not diagnosed with ADHD, only GAD. It helps me a bit, but I don´t want to make vyvanse an everyday thing forever. Am starting to be skeptic about my psychiatrist, and started taking sertraline 25mg 3 weeks ago. Still no effects. Plan on quitting both, but I feel like I cant function without vyvanse, im just too tired throughout the day and sleepy.
My question is: should I be taking vyvanse even if I dont have ADHD or binge eating issues? Is impulsivity enough for a prescription?
question 2: Should I give sertraline 25mg a chance? Try it for at least 2 months and see if it helps me with anxiety ?

edit: vyvanse actually helps me a lot. 100% increase in focus and developed relatively little tolerance so far

You're likely tired throughout the day when you don't take it due to withdrawal. Binge eating (particularly on foods that spike blood sugar levels) will leave you feeling tired most of the time as well. Vyvanse will suppress appetite, so you'll feel more awake due to it's stimulating effects and the change in diet.

A few things you can take that can help to combat tolerance are Magnesium, Tyrosine and Tryptophan/5-HTP. A good quality multi-vitamin will help you to maintain more consistent energy levels as well.
