I took 30mg of Vyvanse about 4 hours ago for the first time. I am undiagnosed and this medication was not prescribed to me, but I hope it's ok to post here.

I'm curious what the effects are supposed to feel like for ADHD symptoms? Right now I mostly just feel kinda zen, and I'm honestly a little underwhelmed at my ability to focus on tasks; it seems nearly completely the same as any other day, but I'm more relaxed and maybe zoning out a bit more than usual.

I really was hoping to be able to sit down at my desk this morning and start hammering away at my work more effectively. That has not been the case so far.

Same for me, i took it for a week, could focus on everything at once, without being able to choose on what to focus and kinda crashed at the end of the week.

Oh god, the crashes. Turns out you don’t get anything for free and you have to pay for it sometime.

Feels the same for me with glasses. Other people can see without problems and i have to pay for the "being-able-to-see-DLC"
