What causes lack of motivation while on Adderall?
human
I have been on Adderall for 3 months. Vyvanse was great but it eventually lead me to insomnia. With Adderall I am able to concentrate and get things done, however I have found that I have lost the desire to do anything I use to like to do....such as exercise, get out of the house to go do things with friends. I cry a lot more and don t feel joy towards anything....never have much but it is a lot worse. Is this a side effect? Also, I am no longer lashing out at people or sending weird text and long hateful emails. I am able to control myself and this part feels awesome. Does the good outweigh the bad?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. There are two possibilities which can explain your current symptoms.1. Depression- Many of your symptoms indicate toward depression.2. Lost effect of Vyvanse- As we know that Vyvanse and Adderall are very different molecules and bothe have different spectrum of action. It is possible that you are missing the some effects of Vyvanse after started using Adderall. This is most likely cause.In my opinion the benefits outweigh the risks associated with adderall.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
