Been on Vyvanse 40mg for a few months now and am loving life. I’m more productive, happier, can focus better, eating less, etc.

I can’t help but feel like ADHD meds are like a deal with the devil. I can either have my days drag on, especially the boring parts, and feel every second pass. Or… I can take meds and have the boring parts go by quickly, feel productive, but also have the enjoyable moments that I want to savor, whisked away into the past, leaving me wondering "where the hell did my day go?"


Does anyone else feel like this?

Yes! I took my last capsule recently after holding onto it for a while (layoff, lack of insurance, etc). Suddenly it was 4pm and I had no idea where the day went.

Glad I’m not the only one.
