Avatar f tn I have a real sensitive stomach and immune system, and am allergic to a lot so I would think that you can handle most of these. The best working were the Daytrana, Adderall XR, and Vyvanse, and the Adderall you are taking may be different than what I take(XR) The other Adderall hurt my stomach and made me sick if I didn't eat, but I have no problem with the XR.
Avatar m tn Hi! So I just had to come to google to see why my Vyvanse wasn't working for me anymore, and I saw your comment.. I have been on Vyvanse for maybe a year now and have found that my 70 mg dosage just isn't kicking in or working as well as it used to for me anymore?? So is this happening with you as well? Like it's still really hard for me to focus, and I really don't feel the effect of the medicine at all anymore. I wonder whats happening?
Avatar f tn After a lot of research and thought, I went back to the Doctor and discussed switching to the Brand Name Adderall - thinking that perhaps the generic was just not as effective for me anymore. After going about my normal routine of 15mg x3 to no avail, I stopped splitting them in half, and instead would take at the full, normal dose - 30mg, 3 times a day. But there's still been no change, and these last 3 months have been pretty horrible.
Avatar n tn V should last 8 to 12 hours and start working within 45 min. If it does not, it would be an indication that the dose is too low. Before trying the Ritalin in the morning, I would talk with your doc about increasing the V one more time. And yes, you are right that Ritalin is faster working. So it might be worth trying to see how he responds to that. And some people just do better on R anyway. If he does not respond to the R in 15 to 20 min. It may be that he is what Dr.
Avatar f tn im on the highest dosage of vyvanse and its supposed to last longer than addorall but it seems to be working less and less...is that possible?? im sick of insurance not paying for this medication yet not getting any other substantial benifit from vyvanse, anyone else experience a increased tolerence to any add meds?
Avatar f tn I have been taking lysine for 15 years and it has always prevented me from getting mouth ulcers and fever blisters however in the last three to four months it is not working anymore does anyone have any idea why and also could my body have built up a tolerance to it and should I quit taking it for a while?
1348086 tn?1370783185 I know my Cymbalta is not working anymore. I am at 120 mg per day and my depression is so overwhelming I cannot think clearly. No appetite, crying, fatigued. My doctor, around three months ago, suggested I be put on Effexor along with slowly tapering off the Cymbalta, but I had a very bad reaction with taking both meds and we decided to just keep me on the Cymbalta. Something else has GOT to work. I can't live like this. Has this happened to anyone else?
Avatar f tn My son has been takiing this med Vyvanse for adhd, so I decided to take it to see if it would help me with my depression and anxiety, and it worked great, I didn't have any side effect to it. This is why I ask if its okay to take Vyvanse for my anxiety, right now I'm taking celexa but its not doing nothing for me anymore. I've been taking Celexa for the past 3 yrs and I think its time for me to change my meds.
Avatar f tn t handle them either (I apparently am very sensitive to that type of med and they make me EXTREMELY hyper and actually increase my pain a LOT) I currently take hydrocodone for pain and ambien for sleep. A while back I was having trouble with the Ambien not working and my doctor tried me on trazodone, but once again, I reacted badly to it and rather than it helping me sleep, it made me hyper and I was not able to sleep for 2 1/2 days while taking it!
Avatar f tn 25 mg, but it seems like it is not working as well as it used to. I am at a loss and so tired of being axious all the time.
Avatar n tn I can't afford Vyvanse anymore, it's $150.00. We switched insurance plans. I don't like what Adderral XR did for me either. I feel like just stop taking it all together. I haven't had it in 4 days now.
Avatar n tn Sandman2 is right. I went to a pill party before I knew I had ADHD and some guy brought some of his brother's Adderral. We snorted it and everyone got high off it, except me...it had the complete opposite effect on me. Needless to say, I never got invited to a pill party again...lol. Now I know I have ADHD and I'm taking Vyvanse. If your daughter has ADHD, Vyvanse isn't going to be very much fun...not much exciting happens when you take it.
Avatar m tn I found that I need less caffeine than before I started taking Vyvanse. Vyvanse does a much better job than caffeine, so I drink less coffee, espresso, etc and rely on the medication. I feel better, too. I don't suggest dropping caffeine all at once...the withdrawal is a drag.
Avatar n tn Hi! I've been slowly upping my Vyvanse dose & am currently taking 50mg every morning. I've noticed I can easily take a nap any time of day (similar to before Vyvanse) does this mean my dose is still to low?
1575110 tn?1334664635 The truth is the chemistry in all of our brains vary. There is no remedy or cure that is garunteed results for everyone. I have tried Concerta the come downs were terrible. I took Vyvanse and I just didn't find myself concerned or interested in anything. I took Dexedrine and it's a miracle drug. Less amphetamines than adderall and a lot smoother especially if you experience anxiety attacks!
Avatar f tn Blessings! I am doing a job search, but working freelance trying to develop & sell a course. I enrolled in medicaid, but have suffered from ADHD since birth. I have tried a holistic approach in my diet, life habits and petition God in prayer as well as different medications from time to time. I am very healthy except for this disorder, but was seeing a doctor for medication, Strattera when I went on medicaid.
Avatar m tn Vyvanse is just another amphetamine. All speed, or speed-like products, will produce the symptoms you had, if taken in overdose. If you have that reaction with a normal dose, then you probably do not have ADD.
Avatar f tn 5 lbs in one week so far seems pretty damn nice. I am not afraid to be hungry or anything, or working out of course (which i paused this week to see how i was on the new meds) my concern is the side effects of to topamax (confusion and hair-loss) and the fact that the interaction between vyvanse and trintellix is marked as "severe". Is the combination of those two not a big deal b/c of the like 7-10 hour wait between taking them?
