"i have suffered from add/adhd for all my life. i am currently 23 years old. i was on vyvanse (40 mgs, i am extremely sensitive to pills). i have tried about 5 different stimulant type medicines. vyvanse really changed my life. i was able to transition from the food service industry to a real estate career. i got mono, and had to stop the medicine while my body recovered. i really liked the way i felt off it. but i now feel as though my life is unmanageable. i don&#039;t like the feeling of being medicated so young with out any proof of long term effects, but i feel like i am drowning. i feel alone in my adhd because its not something that people feel sympathetic toward. vyvanse really changed that feeling."
