ADHD - Nixed the Wellbutrin, added Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine): My Experience - 6 months / week 24
After a failed medication (Wellbutrin 450mg), my psychiatrist put me on 10mg Vyvanse, but had me go up to 50mg. So far I’ve felt the productivity really take off, but the side effects- well they leave a lot to be desired. 🤞🏼 the headaches go away, because this medication has done wonders for me the few times I’ve been able to use it without headaches.
What are your thoughts on Vyvanse?
Any side effects?

Three weeks on Wellbutrin for ADHD, and to say it’s been a complete success would be a lie.. there have been negatives and positives thus far, but I’m remaining optimistic and not going to give up regardless of how long it might take. Check out my journey and follow for future updates! How has your journey with Wellbutrin gone?

    Does the Vyvanse cause sexual side effects?

    Well Vyvanse is basically going to do more for a shorter period than Wellbutrin. So that’s why people use amphetamines or methylphenidate for ADHD. NDRIs and maybe SNDRIs in theory should help, and often do the trick, but they tend to up your neurotransmitters all the time compared to where they would be otherwise. But that might not be enough when you need it or it might be too much other times, say for example if you are having trouble sleeping or rather staying asleep. Vyvanse is very long acting though for a stimulant, so there is going to be an issue potentially with falling asleep and/or with eating late in the day. You might try eating at least 500 calories before it kicks in. Drinking a lot will actually help a bit with ADHD symptoms and fatigue too. There are other options, like adderal XR, methylphenidate XR, “D” or “dex” amphetamine XR, Focalin (or D /“dex” methylphenidate) ER, methylphenidate IR, and adderral IR. A lot of people seem to respond to IR medications taken 2-3 times a day than to long acting medications for sone reason, but if you aren’t one of them then XR meds or Vyvanse are really convenient (and Vyanse can be safer from the perspective of a provider in terms of abuse prevention). But I’m assuming you aren’t planning to abuse these. There are other amphetamine formulations too and SNDRIs like Strattera, and combinations, like lower doses of amphetamine combined with low doses of bupropion or SNDRIs like Strattera. You could even look at things like modafinil or desoxyn if nothing else works or side effects of the standard stimulants are bad at minimal effective doses. Some people even respond to things like Monjero too. You could ask your dr about taking 1-2 days per week or even 1 week per 2-3 months off. Stimulants for me tend to work at about 25% effectiveness )which is still about 10% of what I really need) for weeks after the days I actually take them. But even being off for a couple of days a week generally does not hurt much and could help with both resistance and possibly side effects. It’s a very common practice.

    For headaches… the rice sock. Take a tube sock, fill it with dry brown rice, tightly tie off the open end of the sock. Put it in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. Lay down and place the hot rice sock over your eyes. Repeat as needed. You’re welcome. :)

      Thanks! So far today I haven’t had any headaches. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that it was short lived and due to the medicine shocking my body a bit, but we will see. I will definitely keep your tip in mind if it happens again!

    Thanks for the video. I'm on day 4 of Wellbutrin for ADHD, feeling similar effects of anxiety & loss of hunger you described. I'm looking forward to getting through the first week.

    • @therudimentroom
      @therudimentroom Год назад

      Hey there, thanks for watching! I have been overwhelmed with life with a lot going on, and haven't done any updates in a WHILE. I do plan to do one here at the end of the month. Don't get discouraged. I think the first 1.5 weeks was the most difficult, and then each time I increased the dosage I experienced some of the side effects again. The hunger situation will get better, and the anxiety will subside as well. I have used a fitness watch for years, and my resting heart rate has always been around 54, and over the first 3 weeks or so it increased gradually all the way up to 68 or so, so in general I just felt more anxiety, as my heart was not used to running so fast while just resting.
