It really depends on how good your psychiatrist is. If they have a lot of knowledge on how the meds work and know the chemistry of why the dexamphetamines aren’t for you, they can absolutely steer you to a better solution. You should mention that vyvanse was a bad experience when you see your provider and give details of why. Good luck!
I haven't tried any others but whenever I'm on it shit definitely works. However after a few months it stops working and the impact to my sleep and general anxiety makes me want to go off it again.
It is very, very likely that there is a better option for you. Just to name one: You could get methylphenidate (or even Vyvanse again) and use it only as needed. A lot can get done in 10 or 20 "power-days" per year, even when you just drag along for the rest of it.
Yeah I am leaning towards that.
