"i&#039;m a 18 year old college freshman and started taking vyvanse 10 months ago when i had finally gotten medicated for my severe add.  it has significantly changed my life for the better. for as long as i can remember, my teachers always told my parents that i was very bright but i just would not &quot;apply&quot; myself but after taking vyvanse my grades have skyrocketed. i can finally pay attention in class and actually absorb the information. i feel energized, motivated, and more organized to do things.  my days will be filled with productivity and i feel like it boosts my mood in general. my side effects include a slight anxiety because i feel like i should always be doing something productive so sometimes its hard for me to relax."
