I take Vyvanse 30mg in the morning and have also tried 30mg morning and 30mg lunchtime. I’ve also tried 50mg once in the morning.
The 30mg in the morning wears off after a few hours. Anything more than 30mg at once seems to be too strong for me (my eyes go strange and when I’m looking at someone and look away, my head moves away while my eyes stay focused on them and I can’t help it!) the positives work very well but I can’t deal with that effect, I know people notice.
30mg twice a day works very well and I don?’t get the side effect I mentioned above. I take the second dose 3 hours after the first. However it does cause insomnia when I do this. But it does make me question the vyvvanse mechanism of action. Why does this staggering affect me differently, is it because the lisdexamfetamine is all dumped into the gut at once and my body can’t handle 40mg at once but can handle 60mg spread over 3 hours?
Vyvanse also causes a smell to leak from my anus (no it’s not wind, it’s not bad hygiene - it is massively affected if I eat sugar, red meat and caffeine - it’s defintely something on the inside leaking out, like a valve isn’t closing or something. Could be dehydration. I have had this problem before vyvanse eg if I had a bowel movement and then sat in a car or led down, a smell just leaked from me like a valve down there isn’t closing. When I stand up and move about the smell goes and the valve closes). The problem is worse and different of vyvanse. It is persistent. Could it be a hemmoroid causing something not to close properly? It’s a big problem and my doctor dismissed it as he’d never heard of it.
appetite is reduced especially if I take two doses and this is a problem for two reasons: one as I’m avoiding things like sugar and red meat because of this mystery smell that it produces (and this smell spreads far and wide, I know from reactions), I’m not getting enough calories during the day and my brain just doesn’t have have the resources and is feeling drained. Two I’m underweight already. Hoping pregabalin can boost my appetite as a nice side effect (I’m starting that for anxiety), but this smell is a big issue and it’s a REAL issue (I’m well aware that amphetamines can cause paranoia and a sensitive nose - this is Way beyond a small whiff and a whisper I thought I heard, this is something that has occurred before medications and is now amplified!)
The effect I get from vyvanse when it works at its peak effectiveness is something I have strived to extend because it is life changing for me when it works. My interactions are better, my work is better my mood is better, my confidence is great and I become the person I want to be. It’s quite short lived. Strange question but is there any way I could be like that without the vyvanse (meditation, CBT, visualisation, hypnosis?)
its not perfect I do also have anxiety and I am starting pregabalin for this. It’s frustrating because it?s shown me how life could be, how I can be in the state of mind that would give me the life I want to live. It’s not just like I’m laying around with a high, it’s my interactions, my actions that improve when I have that dopamine boost in the pre frontal cortex. Exercise and healthy eating don’t give me that although I do that anyway because it’s healthy. The benefits of vyvvanse just don’t last as long as I would like amd IR boosters are a big no for me, I crash horribly and they make me subdued.
a few questions there, hopefully someone has experience and wisdom to answer
Thanks
