In 1995 I was involved in an accident and received a TBI. In 2010 I tool some tests and Dr. suggested I take Vyvance to help me concentrate. After the 1st day of taking vyvance (40mg) I felt great and was able to concentrate much much better. I even received an “A” on my schoolwork. In November 2011 I had a heart attack and my blood pressure is always very high. My Doctor told me that “maybe” its because I me taking vyvance. I have several questions to ask you please. They are: ➢ Does Vyvance cause high blood pressure? ➢ Is Vyvance given to people who suffered from a TBI or is it just for people that have ADHC? ➢ Are there any sign effects for folks my age (58) who take it for a long period of time? ➢ How long can I take it? My post TBI problems will not go away so I will have to take Vyvance the rest of my life. Is that going to be a problem???? ➢ Does Vyvance stop working if you take to long? Currently, Vyvance seems does not help me focus or concentrate like it did before. ➢ What effect will have on me if my Doctor increases my vyvance from 40mg to 50mg or 60mg or 70mg or 80mg? Will it start working again? ➢ My Doctor says that there is only thesis about Vyvance long-term effect on people and there is no scientific data to support the long term of taking Vyvance . Is that true? By me taking Vyvance the rest of my life…will that hurt me? Dear Sir:

The Adderall seemed to only have a slight effect for a few days and then all of a sudden has little to no effect, but rather only negative side effects. From what I've heard Vyvanse is much more stable and has less of the crash/anxiety effects. I hope this is all true and i really hope this medication finally works for me and can give me a nice, stable solution finally because im at the end of my rope with trying all these different meds (as im sure many of you have been as well lol) and just want to have successful treatment once and for all. Any feed back would be great! Ill report the effects and my findings tomorrow! Switching from generic Adderall (AM/DX) to Vyvanse tomorrow, and certainly hoping for the best.

I will keep up on this blog. As of right now, I'm not tired, can focus better, (does keep you up) and finally after 20 years did a brand new resume. I haven't been able to focus in years! Until next time. I’m 39 and just started taking Vyvance last month. I will keep up on this blog.

Adderall saved my career and relationship. I haven't experienced other ADHD medications, but Adderall is not scary in any way and is a godsend.. The thoughts in my brain were scattered and bouncing around everywhere. When I take adderall, those thoughts fall into a cohesive chain. Instead of being distracted by random thoughts and noises, I can concentrate on a task and follow through with it. It has also improved my love life. I stopped interrupting my boyfriend and pay better attention to his stories. I wish that my parents were as caring and open minded as you. My primary school years would have been way better if I had treatment then. Now I'm making straight A's in college and am no longer being screamed at by my boss at work. @Brooke, I am 21 years old and was just diagnosed with ADHD PI.

I was never treated for the Adhd since the main focus was getting my other two disorders under control. I started taking Adderall 15mgs over a year ago and I have had continuous negative side effects. It made my anxiety worse, chronic insomnia, irritable, and had frequent bowel movements. On the positive side, it suppressed my appetite, gave me energy, and I could focus for the first time in my life. I always did poor in school and now I have a 3.8 gpa. I switched around a bit to methylin, ridilin, and stratera but always went back to the adderall because they did'nt work as well. A month ago, due to the Adderall shortage I was put on Vyvanse 30mgs. I noticed immediately that I wasn't as anxious, and the insomnia got better. The Vyvanse lasts longer and I never have the crash feeling when it wears off. I am happier on the Vyvanse and am glad I was switched to it. I’m a 27 year old college student that was diagnosed with Adhd, Bipolar type1, and Panic Disorder in my early teens.
