I am on day 1 of about 10mg (from a 20mg capsule). I have been through every antidepressant so am anxious about them all the time. Hence starting a lower dose.

How did it affect your sleep? If at all?
Everyone’s different obviously but this is something that makes me anxious (as a bad sleeper).

Did it have a stimulant type of effect in the beginning?

How far in do you think you could feel benefits from it?

Sorry for all the questions, just interested in others experiences. :)

Just wondering as this is what I am on. When I increased by a further 1/4 of a pill (6mg) my urinary retention got really bad and not something I could live with. I’m gutted as I felt like this med was starting to help (with the addition of lyrics). But it seems I can’t go past 25mg which is such a low dose.

Has anyone experienced results at this dose? Or am I wasting my time?

I can’t see my dr for 5 weeks but will of course discuss with him.

I love Vyvanse for the morning. But the afternoon can feel like I’ve been hit with a hangover. I drink and eat as much as I can. Electrolytes don’t seem to help. And am now trying not to take it (or take as much when I’m tired). I just can’t figure out why this happens. Would be really upset to give it up. But right now half my quality of life is crap.

I’ve tried the herbal supplements but I’m so sensitive to things that they made me feel sick.

TLDR: Has anyone found anything to help avoid these crashes, outside of all the general things that are mentioned on this sub??
