I took 30mg of Vyvanse about 4 hours ago for the first time. I am undiagnosed and this medication was not prescribed to me, but I hope it’s ok to post here.
I’m curious what the effects are supposed to feel like for ADHD symptoms? Right now I mostly just feel kinda zen, and I’m honestly a little underwhelmed at my ability to focus on tasks; it seems nearly completely the same as any other day, but I’m more relaxed and maybe zoning out a bit more than usual.
I really was hoping to be able to sit down at my desk this morning and start hammering away at my work more effectively. That has not been the case so far.

Different meds work differently for different people. Or if you aren’t actually ADHD they may be less effective for you. Better I ask a doctor, but Adderal works best for me.
