"im 17 and have always had a hard time with my depression and bi-polar disorder. i take medication for them and it&#039;s helped but there was still my motivation lacking. i was prescribed vyvanse and the first day i took it i knew it was the miracle i had been waiting for. it helps my motivation tremendously whether its school work or not, i get more done. and am actually enthusiastic about doing it. the only semi bad thing about it i would say is anxiety. my arms especially get very anxious."
