Been on Vyvanse 40mg for a few months now and am loving life. I’m more productive, happier, can focus better, eating less, etc.

I can’t help but feel like ADHD meds are like a deal with the devil. I can either have my days drag on, especially the boring parts, and feel every second pass. Or… I can take meds and have the boring parts go by quickly, feel productive, but also have the enjoyable moments that I want to savor, whisked away into the past, leaving me wondering "where the hell did my day go?"


Does anyone else feel like this?

That metaphor really speaks to me. Thank you so much. I feel so guilty doing nothing, now that I finally have the power to be productive for 10+ hours at a time.

I need to start therapy again, I have yet to find it helpful, but I know it can be. Been with 4 different therapists and they’re all a swing and a miss.
