Vyvanse Fall Off And Feeling Weird After Returning Dose Increase

Not seeking medical advice but some personal experiences similar to my own may point me in the right direction. Don't know what's going on here.

I was on 30 mg of Vyvanse which was my starting dose up until 3 weeks ago. I was on this starting dose for almost a year and it was working well. I never needed to change it.

I was without Vyvanse for about a week while I switched doctors, and when I got my new one he recommended trying 20mg since he wants to put patients on the lowest dose they can get away with. I said sure, 30mg was making me maybe a little TOO locked in so was also interested in trying a lower dose. I tried that for two weeks to no avail, it definitely wasn't enough and I felt my old ADHD habits coming up and I got almost no work done.

Current doctor was out so I got another prescription (30mg again) for two weeks while I awaited his return to get the proper dosage again. It's been almost 2 weeks now and the 30mg doesn't seem to be doing anything. In fact I think I feel worse than when I was on 20mg? I'm very confused because I had such a good routine and workflow before with the 30mg but now I can't bring myself to open the applications I need to do my work. And I feel often very confused and consistently skip parts of my routine that were beginning to feel like habit before. I don't know what's causing this. If anyone could help that would be great. The Vyvanse was Generic all three times.
