MODERATORS
Sometimes a slightly different formulation can make a difference, but some people also just metabolize the stimulants really quickly. Generally the thing that I notice on my Vyvanse is that I can pull my mind off focusing on things in order to react to things better in the moment. But that's just how my brain reacts, still might be worth seeing if yours does the same though. Depending on your body composition, you may need an even larger dose? It's also a possibility that you have other things contributing to your specific scatterbrained effect. I am also on Lexapro which has a good anti-anxiety effect and I've never been on my Vyvanse without it so that maybe helping me with mine?
