I think it is a great medication that really helped me quit after almost 30 years smoking.

Vyvanse is the only drug I've taken since I was diagnosed with ADD. I'm 47, so I can tell you it's not just for children. It really works, too. If anything, I have to be more careful with prioritizing my tasks, because with Vyvanse, it's easy to hyperfocus on whatever is in front of me. The drug lasts at least 8 hours. Also, for me, it causes a feeling of euphoria that peaks about 90 minutes after taking it. (What a wonderful side effect). Vyvanse makes me feel like I'm on a level playing fi... View full comment

I do like that it allows me to sleep better, but, it takes me longer to fall asleep. Since starting Inderal, I have had a lot of heart burn issues. It has helped some with my migraines.
