"i suffered from severe depression and anxiety in my early teens and was prescribed lexapro. it had no effect whatsoever. at 17 i was diagnosed with adhd and prescribed vyvanse. this drug single-handedly solved these problems the instant the first dose kicked in. like other patients i experienced the need to increase dosage as the effects weakened. i got up to 75mg and eventually backed down to 50mg as it was interfering with my sleep. however, unlike others this dosage has been sufficient for 4 or 5 years. this has been a wonder drug for me, but after 6 years, i&#039;m starting to question its role in other life issues i&#039;ve been having. my social anxiety is now worse than ever, and i find it difficult to remember and perform various obligations."
