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 have had the Mirena for well over 6 or 7 years (I'm on my second one). During this time, my acne has been difficult to control - especially on my back and chest. I have also been experiencing some problems with finding the right words and thinking straight, though I suppose this could be a sign of getting older. But I'm only 36, so I'm not that old! I also have found that I am less patient and have more mood swings. Why do I still have the Mirena? Well, it wasn't until very recently s... View full comment

I found this drug to actually work to relieve my allergy symptoms and do nothing for my cold symptoms, which I found surprisingly useful.

I went from a healthy weight of 140 (normal for my size) to 180 in less than 2 months. It came from nowhere, no changes in diet were made to have effected the weight gain. I was exercising a couple times a week, I have gained and lost weight throughout my life, but never in a quick amount of time. The weight because of this medicine came on so quickly, that I got horrible stretch marks all over my body, and I had never had them before. Theyre so unsightly, big, deep and dark. It really brings... View full comment
