I've been struggling recently with increasing side effects and reduced effectiveness with my Adderall treatment. For those of you on stimulants do the side effects even subside?
Also, how long did it take you to get to a dosage where you found the balance between tolerance and functionality
I found that my side effects got better with time, but also i ended up taking other meds (prozac) to balance me out, especially with the anxiety and lack of appetite/feeling tired.
I'm not on adderal anymore (they don't have it in the EU), I switched to vyvanse a couple years ago, and I find that the side effects are way milder. I'd say it's not quite as effective as adderal, but I can take it every day (weekends too) without feeling like I'm on crack.
There are a lot of different options. I thought adderall was the worst for side effects. I’ve been through several different medications throughout the last 5 or so years. Focalin so far has been the best fit for me.
