Today, I woke up early and took my medication to help me focus while catching up on lectures. I ended up spending the whole day focused on fixing my drawer for no apparent reason. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I've been awake for nearly three days due to homework and my mom's wedding preparations, so I took some Adderall to keep me awake at school. I took too much, totally zoned out in class, became hopelessly fascinated by my own hand, and was accused of doing drugs. FML
Today, I have such severe ADD that I can't focus without my medication. When I take the medication, I can only focus on one thing, but not necessarily the thing I need to be focusing on. I have a chem test soon, and I've been vacuuming my room for the past 4 hours. FML
Today, I realized I had been staring at my phone for an hour without doing anything else. When I looked up, I noticed my mom had been standing in the doorway, shaking her head at me for a solid five minutes. I hadn’t noticed her. I wish I could use this laser focus to study for my college exams instead of wasting my time doomscrolling Instagram. FML
Today, my laziness reached an all-time high. I had a dream that I was at school and had spilled all the contents of my backpack onto the floor. I then purposely shook myself out of my sleep to avoid cleaning up the mess in my dream. FML
Today, I got up early because I had a bunch of work to do. It's now 11:50 p.m and I still haven't managed to get anything done. FML
Today, I woke up at 5 and studied for my 9:30am exam for 4 hours. When I left my dorm at 9, it was dark outside. Turns out I slept through the entire day and woke up at 5pm. FML
Today, I cleaned my room, which I’d been putting off for ages. Halfway through, I sat down “just for a second” to check my phone. Two hours later, I was still scrolling, surrounded by half-sorted piles of stuff. When my roommate walked in and asked if I was reorganizing or giving up, I didn’t know. FML
Today, I have been trying to stop sleeping during the day, so I decided to clean my room to keep myself awake. Four hours later, I woke up on the floor. FML
Today, in an effort to actually be productive for once, I decided to clean out my closet. However, I ended up getting distracted by old photos, started crying over past relationships and dead pets, and didn't end up getting anything done whatsoever. FML
Today, after a long day, I decided to study. I was so tired and anxious that I couldn't. When I actually started, a neighbour started making a hole in his wall. FML

Maybe it was broken and you couldn't focus on fixing it before your medication. And once it wore off, you couldn't focus and re her what was broken.

Shit doesn't kick in immediately tho. Take it during/after the first meal before you need to work or they may act as an appetite suppressant.

20- vyvance is the cheap generic version of adderal. For people without insurance and can't afford the real stuff.

36 - Bullshit. I've taken Vyvanse for over four years now, and I can tell you it works MUCH better for me than Adderal ever did. I tried that stuff once and switched back to Vyvanse because it just wasn't doing anything for me. Drugs affect different people in different ways, and I personally wouldn't call Vyvanse the "cheap generic version" of anything.

45- Well i've had both and for me adderal just feels more natural. Vyvance is like drinking 15 cups of coffee at once and the crash kills me. So sorry if me calling Vyvance cheap and generic offended you. but i stand by what i say
DraconicFeline 31
46 - Eh, no need to be sorry. It is true that Adderal is much more widely used than Vyvanse, so there's probably some truth to it. I guess your comment in combination with what 20 said just rubbed me the wrong way. Vyvanse has helped me a lot over the years, so I'm very fond of it :P (I totally get what you mean about the rush and the crash, though--you may have been on too high a dosage if it affected you that badly, but it certainly doesn't go away completely.)

Vyvanse does not cone generic and is actually more expensive than Adderall which comes in generic form. Vyvanse just has a coupon you can use to lower the price. call any pharmacy and I ask, I work in one and deal with his all the time

Adderall had you like
