What are your experiences with Elvanse dose increases?
I'm currently going through titration. I started with 30mg for 7 days, and I recently moved from 30mg to 50mg of Elvanse. Honestly, 50mg feels weaker to me, which I wasn’t expecting at all.
30mg felt:
mentally noticeable
really good for mood
motivating
easier to start tasks
easier to clean/do dishes/housework
habits felt easier
focus + hyperfocus felt amazing
emotionally smooth
slightly higher HR
just didn’t last long enough
50mg feels completely different compared with 30mg:
calmer and more relaxed
Way less motivation/task initiation
more “awake” than actually productive
emotionally flatter
lower HR than 30mg
less physical stimulation
later in the day, I end up doom-scrolling and feeling more impulsive when it wears off
Has anyone else experienced this when increasing their dose? Did it improve over time, or did you end up going up a dose or back down to a lower dose?
