Elvanse 30mg no effect?
Hello, I’ve been waiting to start ADHD medication for over a year after 4 years of waiting for my diagnosis. I have combined type and am a woman. In the time I was waiting I read so many people’s accounts of elvanse feeling amazing straight away and they can’t believe they went so long without, and people having to warn them of the honeymoon period because it was so good. So obviously I had high hopes for starting.
I have currently done 3 days of 30mg elvanse. I know that’s not long, but it hasn’t made any difference for me what so ever. If anything maybe a bit anxious, but I have anxiety anyway that comes and goes for no reason so can’t be sure. I actually think it’s just because I had such high hopes to finally be able to start living and not struggle through every day and now I’m worried that it’s not going to happen. (Also my anxiety is 24/7 and doesn’t coincide with taking my elvanse). I was expecting to at least feel something and then the effects might improve when going up dose. My titration plan is 1 week 30mg, 1 week 50 and 1 week 70. Is it common for people to have absolutely no improvement on 30 but 50 actually make a difference? I obviously need to wait and see what happens but I can’t find posts talking about this. I’m also worried that if the anxiety is because of elvanse then it will get worse and not even any benefit at all.
Would please like some reassurance that some people feel absolutely nothing on 30 then get great benefit from 50 or 70? And also that if anxiety is a side effect then it goes away after your body is used to it? I saw someone once even say that when increasing the dose to find the right one their side effects got better not worse
Thank you ❤️
