Get vyvanse instead

like

Welcome to the club! Are you on something for anxiety? I would recommend keeping your Adderall dose small until you buffer it with something for anxiety. That's my experience for all ADHD meds.

like

I just started Vyvanse and so far I like it better than Adderall.

I asked for the smallest dose possible (10mg) to start with and I'm really glad I did. If I had started on the recommended dose of 30mg I think I might have gone a bit crazy.

Taking my buspirone with my Vyvanse helped me not be irritable on it. I like that Vyvanse lasts all day, as opposed to Adderall which wore off in the afternoon and left me feeling off (I can't remember if I was on extended release or not).

I never get hungry while on adderall, so my advice is to eat a full meal before taking it.

-Many other people who catch it won't even know they have it.

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;
