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.

    The first time I took prescribed Vyvanse on the lowest starting dose, it changed my whole life 180° for the better. Best 2 years of my life. Only 2 years because toward the end it wasn’t working anymore, just headaches. Withdrawing from it was heinous suicidal depression and SO MUCH OVER-EATING. Got through it though. Still alive.
