Elvanse gang rise up!
Does anyone else get a kind of euphoria with Vyvanse? Not true euphoria, just elevated mood I guess?
it’s recognized as a side effect of most stimulants
it is also easier to be in a good mood when you’re not thinking “WHY CAN’T I JUST DO THE THINGS I WANT TO!?” every waking moment
Vyvanse makes my heart super poundy and made me feel super duper uncomfortable.
I ended up on Paroxetine. Now my husband is finding Vuvande is causing him to have 24/7 headaches.
I keep it simple. Methylphenidate 25mg taken as needed for when I need my brian to do things. Sure it’s straight meth, sure it makes me a little jittery and my palms a little sweaty, but that’s how I know it’s working
Methylphenidate isn’t meth at all - it’s ritalin/concerta. “Meth” is amphetamine (Adderall) with a substituted methyl group (methamphetamine). This increases its ability to dissolve in lipids, so more enters the brain and at a greater rate.
By mass, methylphenidate is about half the strength of amphetamine. Amphetamine is about 1/5 the strength of methamphetamine, so methylphenidate is about 1/10 the strength of methamphetamine. Amphetamines and methylphenidate also work by different mechanisms, so they have different effects, making the relative strength an imperfect comparison.
Methamphetamine actually is prescribed on rare occasion under the brand name Desoxyn, usually as a last ditch effort for extreme, treatment-resistant ADHD.
damn, did it worked for you? onwas at 40mg and didn’t notice any difference, how much y’all take?
I’m on 70mg of Elvanse (same stuff) and I’ve finally started to feel it but its subtle. The appetite suppression kicked in down at 30mg but the focus and mental shift (feeling good and not resentful at completing tasks and things which seemed impossible to tackle don’t look as daunting which helps with procrastination) really didnt happen until I hit 70mg.
