"i am a 22 year old male - diagnosed with inattentive add about 2 months ago. i was prescribed 30mg vyvanse right after my diagnosis, and have moved up to 50mg (been 3 wks). my problems with add started in elementary school, and continued all the way up until a month after i graduated from university (but got worse). deciding to get tested for add was the best decision i ever made! vyvanse has been a blessing to me, and the benefits far outweigh the consequences. i can focus longer, stay on tasks until they are completed, pay attention to detail much easier, articulate my thoughts/words better, and motivate myself to get work and other activities done. it&#039;s not a miracle drug, but helps (key word) you manage your symptoms and function easier"
