Vyvance worked perfectly for me for a week. Doc wanted to just raise the dose but I was so creeped out by how fast I acclimated I switched. Concerta worked and I didn’t acclimate to it, but now I just feel the doom all the time.

Sigh

    Imagine being on death row and your date of demise keeps getting closer. Every time I eat Piada I feel like “is this my last fucking meal?”

    It’s profoundly unpleasant.

    I’m on generic Vyvanse and have had a similar experience to you. I went up to 40mg but didn’t notice that much of a difference to the 20mg, so I asked to go back down. We added a regular short acting Adderall 5mg booster to go along with the 20s. That combo seems to work relatively well for me, but I think the long-acting Concerta + 5mg booster was the best fit in relatively recent meds history. I switched about 2 years ago to Vyvanse because it was very hard to find the correct Concerta ER dose in stock consistently at my pharmacy .

    My doc never suggested mixing them. He just said “let’s go up.”

    I mentioned the doomies to him and he suggested a higher dose. No, that doesn’t make a functional human being, that makes Ted Kazinski. I can’t win.

    I guess that can happen when you are a type who gets calm from stims? Also, I think it's the "high" you acclimate to, but, at least in theory, the medical effect targeting ADHD symptoms could work the same.
