I took 30mg of Vyvanse about 4 hours ago for the first time. I am undiagnosed and this medication was not prescribed to me, but I hope it’s ok to post here.

I’m curious what the effects are supposed to feel like for ADHD symptoms? Right now I mostly just feel kinda zen, and I’m honestly a little underwhelmed at my ability to focus on tasks; it seems nearly completely the same as any other day, but I’m more relaxed and maybe zoning out a bit more than usual.

I really was hoping to be able to sit down at my desk this morning and start hammering away at my work more effectively. That has not been the case so far.

    Also, are you “undiagnosed, but suspicious-to-confident that you have it”, or are you just taking this for a spin?

    I heavily suspect that I have it (edit: inattentive type.) My intention here was to gauge the effects of medication, and if impressed I was hoping to be more encouraged to seek professional help.

      I’m in the same club. 95% convinced I’m inattentive type, but the one time I built up the courage/remembered to ask a doctor, he acted like I was just trying to get drugs and it totally squashed that motivation.
