Hi,
First post, let me know if not okay
I have been prescribed Vyvanse (Elvanse here) for my ADHD (never medicated for adhd before)
As well I’m on Pristiq for depression.
35yo, female, normal weight for size, don’t consume alcohol or other drugs …
Day 1 : 30mg - agitated, lots of anxiety
Day 2 - 10 : Life changing ! So much
energy… calmed all my ADHD symptoms… finally hope !!!! But the effect would wear down around 2pm
Day 3 - Day 15 : I took 1 in morning and 1 in evening and did a few all nighter like that… never more than 30mg at the time … and some days of rest in between…
Day 16 : no effect anymore… whatever the dosage … nothing at all.
Day 12 to 20 : I stayed on 30mg and tried to recover through sleep & proper meals …
Day 22-24 : No meds to do a small break
Day 25 (today) : I started this morning with 30mg then seeing it’s not working too a few more every 3 hours… I must be at 200+ now and apart from feeling tense… no effect no boost nothing…
Have I developped tolerance so soon ? What to do ?
How can 200mg of Vyvanse not make any effect on me as even if I did took quite a bit of it recently I never reached that kind of dosage …
Thank you !
