re: Adult ADD/ADHD experience?

I think we all react differently. Adderall gives me lots of the sucky side effects (jitters, inability to sleep, tight jaw), with minimal focus improvement. I end up in a cycle of not sleeping, needing Adderall to stay awake, which makes me not sleep even more, etc. Vyvanse doesn't give me those side effects. It can cause mild stomach upset sometimes (because it kicks in when it hits an enzyme in your intestine).

Sadly, my stupid insurance won't cover V without jumping through hoops. So I suck it up with Adderall.

Basically, use what works best for you. I didn't really need an acclamation period with Vyvanse.
