Getting rxd them certainly doesn't mean you have ADHD because they are over prescribed. If you take a real low dose and don't ever just bump up the dose maybe you'll be fine.theres a decent chance taking it daily that you will get tol and it will stop being as beneficial esp if you take too much and have no ADHD. Don't trust your doctor, look up your dosage and that sort of thing. A friend totallyfuckd up his ability to take stims by having a doctor prescribe him too much a day for a couple years, now he gets very psychotic whenever he takes them. Just because it's legal and Doctor approved doesn't mean it's any safer than buying meth off the street, it is entirely up to your doctor to make it safe and you don't want to put your life into the hands of your pill dispenser, keep your own head.
Not sure if this is the appropriate board to ask this, but I'll give it a shot...
This is like top-tier thread for Veeky Forums standards
Not Vyvanse but Adderall fucked with my short term and long term memory.
I've mostly recovered now but even though I had the motivation to study, half of the time I'd have problems just remembering the shit I learned. Things are much better now that I'm off it.

Okay, it was a bit of an exaggeration to make a point but still the point stands, just cause it's legal and your doctor says its okay doesn't make it safe. I'm not saying don't take stims if you get em prescribed, I'm saying don't take them under the false illusion that it's no different from if your doctor gave you modafinil or something.
The reason he made this comparison is because sometimes normal people get prescribed stims and once they see the large effects they have, they assume its all-powerful medicine and it can never do them harm, and they abuse it in very high doses and can screw themselves up, in the best case you'll just develop a tolerance and need to up your dose, but stimulant psychosis from a large dose is a definite possibility if the person has no self control or doesn't understand the gravity of the situation or that medicines from a doctor can be dangerous if abused
I am diagnosed with actual ADHD and ive been on around 60mg for the past 6 or 7 years. I dont really think its gotten a lot less effective, however now that im a senior in highschool im finding I occasionally slip more than one a day.
what is the realistic maximum dosage of vyvanse?
70mg is the highest prescribed i think
but i've heard stories of people taking 100mg.
I would think 100mg is the max dose of amphetamines one could expect to be reasonably functional on without going into heroic dose land
back in my borderline real autism days, i got prescribed 80mg, until my parents though i was getting aggressive.
Whats the worse that could happen lol?
[spoiler]>tfw you have tachycardia and 130 is typical for vyvanse half life[/spoiler]
