What is Vyvanse like? How does it compare to other stimulants?

I try to take a total of around 80mg. I'm not actually prescribed and have a really low tolerance so 80 is a lot.

Yea, I feel really sick when I try to eat the same amount on it. But in general it's easy to get hurt on powerful stimulants while lifting, I think energy drinks are better.

Adderall for 8-10 hours. Lasts the entire day and kills appetite and burns fat. Also pretty fucking fun and makes you feel good. Also addictive as fuck. Best stimulant of all time imo, if you're okay with the loooong half life. If not just take adderall.

really great i hear there are no negative side effects from pharmaceuticals, my cool normalfag friends who are all on pills to cope with reality told me so. Also my doctors too, they say there are no side effects. If i have a new problem i go into the doc's office and ask for drugs and they prescribe them and I take them, without question. I only look at studies that say positive things about the drugs and don't understand how long term studies work. I take whatever new drugs they make for my "conditions" even if they don't work I take them. I do what I'm told, i love taking my pills. Anyways meth-lite has no side effects you can just pop addy's all day and nothing will happen to your brain. HAHAHAAHAH

i took both vyvanse and adderall for ~6 months each when i was still in school.

i started taking it because i wanted to kill myself and i had no energy to do anything. that changed pretty dramatically. it makes you really good at focussing, really bad at getting your calories in, and really bad at sleeping.

if you have a ton of shit to do and are willing to sacrifice some bulk, it's great. it won't help you burn fat and cut, though. you will just lose muscle from the lack of appetite and proper sleep.

if you take it for an extended period of time, it will absolutely kill your bonars. i got a qt gf when i was about a month away from quitting and i could maintain a 75%-erection for 2 hours, but cumming was impossible. my libido markedly improved a month or so after i stopped.

the come down sucks balls. i would get headaches whenever i didn't take any for a day, and i would get headaches pretty frequently while taking them as well. if you take it for an extended period of time, quitting is like quitting coffee but the withdrawal lasts like 6 weeks instead of a day or two. it will be kind of hard to find enjoyment in anything for that time, too.

all in all, it was a positive experience in that it helped me dig myself out of an emotional hole and get on top of my homework. on the other hand, it took a physical toll on me when i stopped eating and sleeping properly. it also fried my ability to feel good about normal things for a while after i quit, but now i cum buckets inside my qt steppe gf.

how do I get prescribed this?

feels pretty great desu, really effective for getting work done. I take 20mg and have a low tolerance so it lasts for a good 12-14 hours depending what time of day you take it. Eat before you take it and only take it when you need it. If it's the weekend and you expect to do shit all, probably best to not take it because you'll acquire a slight dependence. Might give you the shits and make you bloated but the benefits far outweigh the side effects. If you ever feel like upping the dose, you're probably using it too often. Cut down a bit or take 1-2 weeks off and use it sparingly. Overall, has given me a great work ethic in college I could have only dreamed of.

It's as easy as telling the doc you can't focus

>Tfw just taking 200mg caffeine supplements and washing them down with redbull

Hey it works so oh well

literally me, except I use sipps. If I don't have Sipps, I take two or crush one up and mix it with flavoring and make my own home-made energy drink.

I've been on and off it for years and proactively decided to get back on it recently and it's going great. Apparently with adhd you have a poor working memory and you have to work harder to process/analyze information which takes a lot of energy and tires you out. The vyvanse compensates for this so I don't have that problem anymore

I drink water a lot anyway but since I started taking it again ~3 weeks ago I drink like a hound

You might have this backwards. Every time I've met my doctor he explains to me adderall has a much stronger peak and crash whereas vyvanse stays at a more level potency and you don't crash with it

That is a lot

takes at least 2 years for your dopamine to repair itself after taking ADHD meds.

That's a load of shit.

It only takes about a month

it's a cleaner sensation that mixed amphetamine salts (adderall). less tweaky, more just focused. this makes it somewhat less recreational, but i find that to be a good thing. the duration is a double-edged sword, as it discourages redosing but basically requires you to take it first thing in the morning. also has a more gradual onset and comedown in most peoples' experiences, although YMMV. lasts about as long as adderall XR.

imo:
vyvanse > adderall xr/ir (depending on purpose) > ritalin > ritalin xr/concerta

What this guy said is spot on. I take dexamphetmines 20mg a day 10 in morning 10 at lunch for the last 6 months.

What this user said is pretty much exactly what I was going to say.

Use it for the focus and motivation. Don't use it to get high. Don't up your doses otherwise you are going to get into addiction mode. Take breaks on weekends and don't take it when you are not studying or focusing hard at work take a week break once a month or so.

It's a wonder drug which has changed my life for the better. I graduated recently with my last semester being top of my class all while working full time in a very demanding job.

Just dont. Get. Dependent. On. Them.

Take them when you need the help to focus. Not just on an average day.

> Another shows morphological evidence of “trophic” dendritic growth in the brains of adult and juvenile rats given systemic injections mimicking “therapeutic” treatment. Imaging studies of ADHD-diagnosed individuals show an increase in striatal dopamine transporter availability that may be reduced by methylphenidate treatment.

Really, you're doing actual permanent damage to your dopaminergic pathways with even therapeutic doses of ADHD medication. It may feel that you're back to "normal" after a month, but you've left an imprint that'll stay there long after that month.

kills appetite. not good

just reading your post and noticing the patterns that you use is already enough to showcase the dangers of even doctor ordained amphetamine prescriptions.

>creating the facade that you aren't dependent on these meds
20mg a day for 6 months is already enough to have you hardwired to make sure your pharmacy has the next refill on file.

taking ADHD medication to thrive in school, work, etc. is not sustainable. you're also setting yourself up for irreversible damage on a metabolic level and on a neurochemical level.

My dopamine levels are already fucked

I recommend anyone who seriously feels the need to take prescription stimulants to get through life to look at their hormone panel, make sure that they aren't suffering from sleep apnea, and getting enough vitamin D. if all that is in check and you still feel that you need IT, take a look at modafinil before committing to something as neurotoxic as amphetamines or methylphenidate.

I've heard the same, but oddly enough, Vyvanse is the one that leaves me feeling shitty once it wears off. Which is unfortunate, as the intended effects of Vyvanse are superior for me.

I've taken most stimulants for my ADHD.

Vyvanse is what I'm on now. Its alot smoother in its delivery. Its also essentially Adderall(a pro-drug of it anyway) so iirc it metabolizing into essentially the same substance.

Some people have bad reactions to it, if you have one, just use adderall. if adderall has a bad reaction, try concerta/ritalin.

side effects are the usual. less appetite, it makes it rlly difficult for me to have erections, but this is apparently not common. increased heart rate, blood pressure etc.

biggest thing to remember when on these sorts of meds is this:

Imagine your focus right now as a flashlight. Its wide angled, and illuminates things, although not super well.

After you take one of these stims, that flashlight becomes a laser. And this laser will make you focus on whatever you put in front of it. Coursework? job? yep.
Video games, porn? yep as well.

You need to aim your focus, or you will spend all day edging or doing dumb shit. but you'll be really focused on doing it.

also drink lots of water.

Ritalin/Concerta isnt the same as Adderall/Vyvanse

amphet. salts and methylphenidate aren't neurotoxic. Methamphetamine is neurotoxic. literally just because of that methyl group.

Most studies on methylphenidate shows no neurotoxicity. There is just one study that suggest a mild effect.
Fearmongers...

I don't know why that would be the case I can't give you a factual answer sorry

>worse than adderall
that's a big hint

why don't you just link some study that proves adverse effects instead of writing that diarrhea of post you megafaggot?!

Doesn't affect my appetite at all, still easily clear 3500+ calories a day on it.

Keeps me from dropping plates on myself or forgetting what I'm doing mid-workout though. I suspect if I enjoyed working out I'd be more focused on it, but I don't, and will constantly daydream about doing anything but being in the gym if I'm not on Vyvanse.

Vyvanse doesn't motivate me to GO to the gym, it just helps me do the thing of whatever purpose that particular room, is. I'd lift in the barbell room, make sure everything on me is washed in the shower, I don't forget to towel off completely (I forget to dry my back or ass sometimes and it's getting wintry where I live)

I basically get 8-12 hours of being a normal jackoff, rather than a complete faggot like most stimulants.

...

I take it when i need to focus and study. This can be 4 tines a week or none.
For example last week I didn't take any and the week before that i took it on 2 days.

You are making many assumptions.

>get 1 x 54mg concerta from friend (SR methylphenidate, so a bit different from vyvanse)
>take it as pwo
>I felt the soul of Bugenhagen entering me (full gains homo)
>Best gym session ever, crushed my yearly diddy goal in November EASILY and every other lift that day progressed
>Feel great all day, cloud 9
>Next day I was a nervous wreck, fuse shorter than a hairs width, 2 days after I was back to normal.

Fun stuff.

>take aderall for school
>get really confident, talk to girls and get their numbers
>get no school done
>get laid though
>f on my midterm

take BPC-157, been a user of adderall for 9 years and this shit basically reset my brain in 2 weeks

I bought a few from my housemate. Took 30 mg and had a great workout followed by some really intense studying. The I took 30 mg at 10 pm to pull an all nighter and study for a test at 8am. Took another 30 mg at 7am. Got an A on a test where the average was a C-. I got a C on the last test too so it really helped me. I stacked with L-theanine too.
