Switched from adderall to Vyvanse...

Wow. In my 15+ year journey with ADHD, I have struggled immensely in every way. Adderall has been but a bandaid - and one that came with lots of side effects including crashing, loss of appetite (which leads to migraines / blood sugar issues iykyk), jitters etc. I have gone years unmedicated due to that and then, once my life and mental health would unravel...I'd go back here and there. I don't know why I never asked my Dr to switch. I think it's bc I assumed that all adhd meds were the same. I'm 1.5 months into Vyvanse and I feel like life went from hard mode to manageable mode. Mind you, I run my own business, have 2 children, a spouse, household, etc. So, when I say it's manageable I mean for what it is. But I have found a way to manage my business now that doesn't cause me anxiety. I'm able to stick to my commitments. I've de-cluttered rooms that have given me grief for years. The de-cluttering alone has given me mental clarity. I just can't recommend trying a new med enough if you feel like you're still drowning.
