So when my script ran out one month, rather than going across town to get a refill (this was before my psych transitioned over to e-scripts), I decided just to make do with the adderall I had set aside from never taking my booster dose. I took it knowing I was going to pay later in the day for the benefits. I’d get sort of warm behind my eyes, like when you’re getting sick. Depression, irritability, lethargy, sometimes even a flu like feeling. When the crashes began to happen consistently in late afternoon/early evening - they were horrible. Took about 2 hours to kick in for me, and effectiveness seemed to peak about two hours from then, so I always knew I was working with a fairly tight window of real focus and symptom relief. ![]() I was on the upper end of the dosing (had titrated up to what felt most effective without going to highest) so def didn’t want to go up, but suddenly the crashes - which were always unpleasant but manageable- became horrible, to the point it barely seemed worth it to take it. I was prescribed vyvanse with a low dose adderall booster for when it wore off in the afternoon - only I rarely ever took the booster - I don’t recall exactly why but I’m sure I tried it in the beginning so it must not have been that helpful.Īnyway, vyvanse worked pretty well for me for a year or two then something just…changed - idk. I think only some pharmacies will take this coupon, but I found one that's like 30 minutes from me, and they'll deliver it to my house for free. Here's the link in case you look into it. The website for the med has a coupon program that made my meds only $10/month, but I'm not sure exactly how it works. ![]() Whereas with the Adderall XR, I could take it at like 1 PM and sleep just fine. With these results, my doc had me try Adzenys XR ODT, and it has worked so much better! To the point where I have to make sure to take it before 9 AM or I have a hard time sleeping at night. I'm not an expert, but my understanding is this means that my system burns through the meds super fast, which is what was causing the meds to "work" for an hour and then "not work" after that. My results showed that I am something called an ultra-rapid metabolizer of some medications (pain meds and stimulants basically). I had this genetic testing done that shows what psychiatric meds work better or worse for your system. It would hit me hard for about an hour, and then like barely any effect for the next few hours. YES! This happened to me with Adderall and Vyvanse. ![]()
