Anybody moved from non-pro drug (concerta) to a pro drug like vyvanse? I’m on concerta 36mg and my body is basically processing it too fast. My therapist and doctor suggested either moving to 52mg (but I had the same problem on 27 then 36 so I feel it’s just going to delay the same problem) or move to Vyvanse (or similar).

I went from Concerta to Vyvanse, but it was for the opposite issue: Concerta was keeping me up longer than I wanted, making getting to sleep more difficult.

Now that I know Vitamin C works like an off-switch for stimulant ADHD meds, I will use that to counteract a dose that is taking too long to relax from.

I had a similar situation. I didn’t like the Vyvanse. It wasn’t as effective and still wore off quickly. I switched to non XR, where I can control the dosage release as I need.

What does pro mean here?

Refers to progressive release dosing, basically a time-release effect rather than all at once.

Googling ADHD today (I’m having a distracted day) and super frustrated because I’m realizing that I was likely misdiagnosed as depressed for years. I was taking SSRIs and dealing with awful side effects while I struggled for so long. I finally got an official diagnosis about 10 years ago but was never taught the symptoms or how to manage them. Found you tube channel ADDitutde magazine. Several really good presentations with recent developments Thought I’d share.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help.
