I used to be a screw up failing all my classes and just not caring about it... At all! Ive been taking Vyvanse for some time now and this is how I feel! My Life With Vyvanse.  120Mg (daily) I need to get a mouth guard, because when the medicine starts to wear of and I'm still focusing on somthing. I can't focus on my mouth constantly grinding/clenching my teeth together (even while I sleep). But that's just a small price to pay for being the Smartest most egar to learn person in ALL of my classes. :)Seriously I feel as if I know EVERYTHING. I finish my work in all my class early and just sit there bored out of my mind.  I look foward to taking notes and learning. My organizational skill are astronomically higher!  School is so easy now.  I wish we would had done this sooner :) I think of everything,Every possible outcome of every action, in a split second...  My brain is a computer... That learns... Which means it's even better than a computer! Everything I do is in moderation Like I'm never hungry. But I make myself eat because I know I need to.  I am happy and I am healthy. (leaning my Fuel to work ratio out).  I'm finally starting to get to that point in my life where I enjoy... life. It's nice not being a failure. Now that I am succeeding in every way... It's not hard to have a positive outlook on life :) I really hope I can get a job and put my new found "amazing-ness" to work! 5’10″ 260lbs 17 years old Highschool student.

I was diagnosed with ADHD and subscribe to adderal around this time last year. At this time I had a wOnderful girlfriend a great social life and was a very warm hearted person. Everyone had always known me to have a soft compassionate heart. when I first started taking the adderal I had felt very shaky and uneasy yet it felt almost like a high to me. so i continued taking it for 5 months in that time upping my dosage from a 20 EX to 30EX. In that time my grades went up my ability to focus greatly rose yet I the only feelings I felt were depression. I became very sad , lost alot of friends , and even lost my girlfriend :( . They all saw a difference in me and so did I so I quit taking the drug. it's been around 7 months and I'm still trying to find the person I used to be . . I'm starting to realize it will never happen. since I stopped my grades have went back down to the usual and Iam tempted to take the adderal often regain the ability to focus. overall I would advise people NEVER to take the substance because it will have a permanent effect on your personality. as a junior in highschool I'm slowly starting to find the person I used to be and have started toward stepping into the shoes of the leader I once was and am now captain of the football team but no one will ever understand how much harder everything in life ha gotten sense I took adderal. I constantly find my mind going blank and never have alot to say. my ability to get girls has gone down the drain. I just hope that one day I can find the person I used to be :( hi.

The reason I do, it gives me significant energy boost over a long period of time. It also improved my mood & anxiety, plus it just makes me feel great. So, you can quote all kinds of studies, make them sound insignificant, but, I can tell you from personal experience the stuff flat out works. Will if make me stronger or run further after a period of time? I don't know & I don't care, Quercetin is GREAT! . . .and please don't forget about the studies done at Univ Of South Carolina & Peperdine Univ. I know they used a combination of ingredients, but come on, they were impressive. I take Quercetin on a daily basis. The reason I do, it gives me significant energy boost over a long period of time.

Problem is, these numbers scare the hell out of Big Tobacco and Big Pharma, disrupting the nice little circle jerk they've had going for many years ... smoke a bunch, try to quit, fail, return to smoking, and repeat.
