I’ve been diagnosed about 8 years ago and while I’d say I’m highly functional I don’t want to go on vyvanse again because the side effects are so strong. Anyone have any advice or want to share their experiences?

    I’m personally on a combination of Adderall and Adderall XR and have had the exact same problem (except the insomnia, which I’ve always had). For me it’s about every 5 or 6 months, unless I skip it on the weekends then it’s about every 10 months.

    What I do to counteract it is take occasional two week breaks from my meds, just whenever my workload becomes less critical or the side effects get unbearable. I’ve been doing that for about 18 years now, and it works for me.
