Thoughts about my first day on Vyvanse

Ramble with me, won't you....

First of all, I used adhdonline.com and it was a mixed bag. I got my diagnosis and medication management appointments very quickly (within days of submitting the questionnaire). But apparently my doctor didn't write down my pharmacy when I told her because it took two weeks of me emailing every couple of days and finally asking for a refund for her to actually send the script to the pharmacy. So that was annoying.

In the meantime, I weaned myself down from a lot of caffeine to drinking decaf. Which I know is not 100% caffeine-free but please, I must have coffee of some kind. She said I should be off caffeine when I take Vyvanse (30mg), so okay. I did my part, lady!

Took the pill this morning around 7:45 with a croissant, then worked (from home) about 3 hrs non-stop. I usually mess around for an hour or two before I do something. I was able to focus pretty well first thing, so that was good. It was actually a pretty busy day, took kids to a thing, took one kid to another thing. I never quite got back into that groove, but mainly because I had to log in and out for family stuff.

I didn't feel this euphoric dramatic "where has this been all my life?!" feeling. It was more like... I think it's working? I am thirsty and slightly sweaty in the pits, so maybe? I didn't get hungry for lunch until after 12:30, when it's usually closer to 11. I was prescribed Vyvanse in particular because it's long-release and for the anti-binge-eating effects. Now it's 6:20 and I usually eat dinner at 5, but haven't eaten yet. Do I feel hungry? I can't really even tell. I'd say probably not.

I tried to write down how I was feeling for most of the morning. Now, I'm just wondering: did it work? Am I broken? Was it a placebo? I guess I need to see what it's like OFF of it to see if it was working when I was ON it. My dr said to take it 4 days, and take 3 days off. So, we'll see this weekend. Thanks for reading!

I'd love to hear from others on Vyvanse!
