I'm 53 and have been ADHD Inattentive Type my whole life. I was diagnosed yesterday. I just started Vyvanse this morning. I read a chapter in a book today. I didnt ask my wife to repeat herself once. I didnt misplace anything today. I felt calm. My thoughts werent jumping all over the place. I left the house to attend something and my wife asked me to pick something up at the store. I didnt forget. Game changer and its only day one.

I was finally diagnosed on Monday....at 40. Started Vyvance today. I have mixed type ADHD. About 45mins after taking this, I did all my dishes, laundry, swept my floor, and made a meal in 3 hours. Thats usually 3 or 4 days worth of work for me. Plus my brain was calm.

Going for a walk in your videos makes it easy for me to tune in as well as focus on what your saying,Started 30mg today family thought I was on weed

Great video with lots of great info. I've been on Vyvanse for just over 7 months (41yo male, 60mg per day dose). I'm not exaggerating or bragging, but as a business owner I made 40% more income in 2019 due to my ability to complete tasks. Since beginning Vyvanse I've also lost 25lbs, keep up with daily chores much easier, and learned to play piano. Everyone's results will be different of course depending on their lifestyle, but it's been a game changer for me. Downsides include the crash around 7 o'clock every night, stomach cramping during the crash, some sleep issues, and increased irritability. And let's not forget that insurance probably won't cover it, and it can cost upwards of $300 a month for this stuff! The good far outweighs the bad however and I'm finally getting my life back together after years of struggling with focus and energy. If anyone has questions feel free to let me know.

I have adhd and binge eating disorder. Taking my first pill today wish me luck.

Good job man, glad to see you've taken your time. The quality of info shows It's paid off.

Man this is a very informative video. If this is how you fill all of your content then be prepared for your audience to explode. Good job.

I loved the format of this video, filming outdoors in beautiful sunlight was really visually appealing along with great content and a measured tone and pace. This is really helpful, I'm starting Vyvanse in the next couple days so this helped clear a lot up. Thank you for making this!

My friend, you are really good at this KZfaq stuff. Seriously. Thank you for this.

Young man...this is a FANTASTIC video...info is SOLID, love ur voice...so calming, and the backgrounds!!! WOW!! THANKS MAN!

I have adhd af and you still were able to keep me engaged the whole video. Great vid my guy 👌

Omgosh this was such a lovely informative video! I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child was forced to take Ritalin and have not tried medication since but I am finally ready to give it a try so I can at least get more ahead as it is holding me back so much! Thank you for your videos!🙏❤️

I was on Vyvanse for like a year. I stopped filling my Rx. I love it. It helped me so much while I was on it.

I love how you treat these medication as a serious topic. You look at it in good and bad light. You are also positive and looking to help others. I just got diagnosed may 2020 I’m on a low dose Ritalin

I love Vyvanse it really helps with social anxiety but it is intense at times like if I feel a perceived threat I’m hyper fixated on it and over react.

Phenomenal channel. Great stuff to watch.

Please, anyone who is dysfunctional or suspicious of being affected by adhd- see as many people as you need, get suggestions for people you wouldn’t normally assume- i have recently been diagnosed and trialed on vyvanse and its life-changing. All i can do from here is make up for the life behind me that was wasted, Dont dwell on “what ifs”.

i’ve started vyvanse abt a month and change ago, i take 10 mg chewable 2x daily. i was worried that it would affect my sleep, but i’m actually getting the most complete best sleep in my life. i feel motivated to do my art again, i can focus on a book or tv show, my depression feels so much better. i’m so glad my doctor listened to me, it sucked not being on stimulants because nothing was working for my executive dysfunction.

Starting this tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the info friendo

i was diagnosed with adhd at age seven, in the 80’s when it was believed that most kids outgrew it.... so i never really knew how adhd actually affected people. long story short i recently went in to get re diagnosed so i could start medications. i start vyvanse tomorrow! I hope this along with some counseling can help me with this epic struggle. i will be 43 in a few days and i feel like i wasted so much time 🤣😭

I loved this video, it explained a lot about the medication. The part that won me was that piece at the end about not letting others shame you. I needed that.

Yes I am currently on them I used to take Concerta but it was really bad on my nervous system and so I ask my doctor if we could switch and I was prescribed Vyvanse and it's been a wonderful experience in fact I'm going to go take some now seeing as I just woke up🎉

I was diagnosed at almost 30 and the first thing they tried me on was Ritalin. On day one I was like “ok this seems like it could be good but idk.” 10 weeks later it was making me feel crazy. Today is my day 1 of Vyvance and so far it seems better. I know it’s too early to tell but I’m feeling better about this one already.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

Started Vyvanse today - parking Ritalin for a while to see how it compares. Thanks for the informative video.

♥️♥️♥️ I just started with this medicine and while there have been some great benefits, I’ve also been having a bit of a hard time with it. This was a really informative video, and confirmed a lot of the things I was experiencing. Thanks!

Love your videos brother ❤ sad you haven’t posted for 4 years

Great video. Very informative. I’m taking Vyvanse but after the first few days I don’t seem to be as productive.

I’m starting vyvanse tomorrow, I’ve never taken any medication for ADHD before so I’m a little nervous. But thank you so much for this video it really helped a lot. So informative, more information and personal experience then any other source that I have found!!

Great video sir ✊🏾

Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience. Informative and inspiring!

great content bro!

There's an article of faith amongst those in 12 step recovery… No one but no one except for your doctor/psychiatrist tells you to stop taking any medication. Too many horror stories of people going off their medication(s) and their mental state deteriorating resulting in "the worst of all outcomes". 🌹

As of July 31st of 2023 - I, at the age of 34, was diangosed with the combined type (inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive) of ADHD! This channel is part of the reason I decided to reach out for help! I will be forever greatful for all your information and personal stories! I have struggled with weight, sleep, chores, keeping a tidy room, meeting deadlines at work, remembering appointments, absorbing information (takes a few read-throughs of text), driving, bouncing between projects or activities, impulse control (Amazon can be the bane of my existence sometimes lol), being seen as lazy and never amounted to my potential, butting into conversations or activities and taking over, and a whole slew of other symptoms. I never hit a 4.0 in high school or college, but considering I got a 3.8 with undiagnosed ADHD makes me still feel victorious at this stage in my life! Again, thank you for putting this out there for all of us, and even more so putting yourself out there for us! :)

Im on 50mg at the moment, the 30 had little effect on me. In 14 days i will have my blood preasure checked to see if i can go up to 70.. yeah my add is quite severe 😁 but 50 helps a lot with consentration and focus

I can relate to the Binge Eating problem. I would go to Chipotle, get two burittos, see Taco Bell on the way home and swing by there just to grab my favorite burritos, and still stop at a Burger King for three Slushies. I'm glad I been on Keto but I'm worried Ill binge eat at a moments notice. I'm not even hungry 90% of the time. Just started Ritallin last Friday so if it doesnt pan out I will consider Vyvanse. Thanks for the Vid.

Very nice video man! Super informative! :) You must be exhausted after all the walking you do in these videos 😅 💪

My dog who has adhd even likes to watch you. (He’s a Aussie).... your smart too🤓

I have had great success with vyvance. It works great and has helped some with my mood. Sadly our insurance doesn’t cover it anymore and I had to switch to adderall XR* again and I hate it! I’m going to try and figure out a way to go back on Vyvance without breaking the bank. Thank you for such an informative video. Great job!

Thank you.

Here in Ireland, it is known as Tyvense. I switched from Concerta XL to Tyvense three months ago. For myself, I experience less jaw clenching and it’s good in that sense. But I have trouble with sleeping as I always woke up at around 4 am which broke my sleep. Need to continue discussing it with my doctor. Haven’t heard from you for quite a while. Hope everything is good over there.

I 100% agree with your view that spending time figuring the right med and dose is time well spent! For me Vyvanse didn’t work very well so I got onto Concerta, but it plain didn’t work, so we tried Strattera. It was amazing for focus, but had nasty side effects - for me higher doses brought cold extremeties and low mood. Finally what’s working in a life changing way is low dose (25mg per day) Strattera plus Vyvanse (30mg per day). I wake feeling chilled with a nice quiet mind (way different to before I started meds in the best of ways!) but not so energetic…that’s the low dose Strattera. When the Vyvanse kicks in, I get a growing energy and increased focus (Strattera gives some even on its own) and am still feeling chilled, but I can then get sh1t done! I’m finally able to listen to conversations without blabbing in every minute or zoning out, and I even have patience to wait in a line and am not on a hair trigger generally. I had given up finding a med, but the switch to two meds which each worked a little on their own and WOW … the synergistic effect is great! Time well spent! Good luck finding your med/combo of meds! Invest the time as you’re worth it 😀 PS my med journey was 5 months and 7 psychiatrist sessions. Costly but life changing in the end!

I used to be on it. This year I took 6 AP classes. With Covid and everything it makes it very hard to focus. My parents are against me going back on it and say I need to stop bsing and just do it. I feel like I am not being taken serious.

I’m at the beginning dose, no benefits so I will consider goin up. Except I believe it is making me constipated😢 so I hesitate.

Where are you my friend? Would love an update!

6:20...perfect summary

Hi I’m 13 right now and I take the pill once everyday Monday though Friday and it helps but at the same time I don’t get much sleep and I lost a lot of weight.My body tells me I’m hungry but the pill tells me to not eat and I feel like it’s making me feel dull all the time do you think I should stay on the pill

The side affect I got was panic attack, dry mouth, and loss of appetite

I live near Seattle Washington can I get a prx here ?

hey i have adhd im 28 recent diganosed dont know how to handle much left my job they started me on ritilan i dont like so i stopped taking them after few weeks im scared to try new ones i donno what to do in general would be good to connect.

I feel the shame but I’m the only one living in my skin and in my experiences. I’m struggling and I’m tired of not moving forward.

i actually get vyvanse 70 mg subscribed in 60 days supply here in norway :P

Where do I get that do I have to ask a doctor

I had to quit ritalin because of the side effects, I switched to vyvanse 30mg (adult version) on Monday. I got my AD(H)D diagnosis in july..

Over my lifetime I fear the fact that I’ve met MOST people who are ADHD or ADD. It’s unfortunate but it’s the facts.

Sir does this drugs work long term such as 30 to 50 years of life or they are just short term use drugs like for 3 months and you build tolerance and more and more is needed to get same effects.

My face feels really, really hot and I have headaches and my heart beats fast. I don’t know if these symptoms are normal.

used Vyvance for a 1 1/2 months. 20,30,40 50mg. noticed modivation in first day at 20mg. then not much help. as I increased side effects increased with little benifit. finally gave up. tried 30mg again for 2 weeks. first day little help. after that nothing. no help. just poor side effects.

Seems two adhd meds are being prescribed these days- even to children- the most treatable psychiatric problem and so time consuming and financially just trying to find a knowledgeable psychiatrist and each person responds differently- menopause is a similar issues- sometimes I can’t believe it’s 2023 and the treatment is poor in Australia

Vyvanse didn't work for me at all. 70% of the time I couldn't even feel it working (I found out drinking a protein shake with it helps it work) and it caused me to start rubbing my tongue on my teeth, I was constantly licking my lips, and would catch myself moving my tongue 👅 around in my mouth like you see meth addicts do. I found out this is called Tardive Dyskinesia and can become permanent. I told my doctor about this and he had me abruptly stop Vyvanse. Adderall XR 20mg twice a day did nothing for me either... I couldnt even feel it working half the time. I am now on 3 - 10mg Adderall IR a day and it works great for me. I think the Adderall IR works better for many because you get "butterfly feeling" for a short period of time with the immediate release of Adderall and that's how you know its working.

It doesn’t work for me!

Damn mine just hit me while watching this holy shit

took 20mg for school, cant sleep and its 5:36 AM

Have you tried treating yourself with Weedborn CBD products?

Higher hearth rate

Please! I hope you aren’t advertising for these companies. It’s good points will show itself for what it is. Sorry, I Loathe Commercials .

Ok y'all. I'm a heavy meth user. Gram a day. I used to take 125mg of Adderall a day. Vyvanse is pure D amph which is more potent than Adderall and is Desoxyn (methamphetamine sulfate) little brother. It's Adderall big brother. Take 3 60mg vyvanse at once you'll be blasted. Non abusable? Laughable. Unless your liver or gastral track is shot you'll be high for 12 hours or more. Sick of this misconception
