I recently had to stop taking my vyvanse due to some bad side effects and holy shit I forgot how bad this was. I can’t do anything. I have so much shit I need to do but I sit down to do it and it genuinely fills me with dread. I am just staring at my computer. Even getting to the webpage I needed took hours of convincing. This is horrible, even caffeine isn’t helping. What do y’all do? How do you manage?
May I ask what side effects? I’m on vyvanse 40/d and love it.
Its a bit embarassing lol but I guess its fine. I was one 70mg and noticed somwtimes it’d be hard to pee, like I really had to strain and all I got was a week stream that cut in and out sometimes. For a few months I said fuck it I guess its a shitty side effect I will have to deal with being at such a high dose so I just ignored it and went on with life. Then a few days ago I felt some pelvic pressure around the bladder and began to leak semen. Like just a dribble but definitely not something I want and the pelvic pressure was pretty uncomfortable. This all occured around the peak of the meds. My guess rn is that I have an underlying issue with my prostate that is exacerbated by these meds for one reason or another. I also lost a 6-10 lbs over the summer (pounds I needed tbh I don’t weigh a ton) which might also have something to do with it.
Damn brother, sorry to hear that. When I was on straterra I had some similar issues. Leaked semen, and a couple of times right after I started taking it there was blood in the semen (???). It was not a good medication for me, but many people do well on it.
Wishing you the best in finding something you replace it.
This was my experience with the generic atomoxetine as well, but without the blood which would definitely freak me out. That, wild constipation, heart palpitations, and somehow more brain fog. The dependency warnings with stimulants worries me, but I just started on 40 Vyvanse after testing 20. Fingers crossed.
Maybe take less? Sometimes less is more. It was for me.
Gonna try taking less tomorrow and see how it goes
Are intending on just splitting open a capsule? Because a consistent dose will be hard to attain that way
I am splitting the capsule and I know people with pretty precise scales I can borrow but honestly getting a consistant dose is less of a priority than getting my work done. I’ll take what I can get
Good luck.
So far so good. I can piss just fine on 40mg
Good to hear it. That’s closer to the dosage I’ve settled on.
That sounds more like an atomoxetine side effect than lysdexamfetamine. Weird. I would suggest to get your prostate looked at.
