"42 year old male recently diagnosed with add (no hyperactivity).  vyvanse is the only medication i&#039;ve tried and i&#039;m reasonably happy with it.  started 30 mg for 2 weeks.  felt a little jittery and had a funny taste in my mouth.  increased to 70 mg.  no longer feel jittery, no funny taste, but my mouth is always dry so i drink a lot of water.

vyvanse seems to help me get more done.  i can&#039;t say i&#039;m more focused, but i am more motivated, so the end result is more productivity, though not always directed in the best place.

it decreased my appetite, so it was easier to switch to a healthier diet.  lost more than 25 lbs. in first 3 months, which has also helped increase self esteem, motivation and energy level."
