I take Vyvanse 3 days a week adderall 2 days. Then my non work days nothing. i have not built up any tolerance, and have really no sides.
I heard of Vyvanse, the senior company at my company told me about it... So I told my ex-wife that the problem with this stuff is that the body develops a tolerance to it rather quickly and it would lose it's effects rather quickly... Then she said "oh no, does that mean you're going to turn into an asshole again?"
I think I might like the XR more... These seem a little bit too much like a drug, they are blue football shaped tabs (and are way harder to get btw, I had to go to four pharmacies before I found one that carried it) Two walgreens, a CVS, Walmart and eventually back to Walgreens... The XR is more readily available... The thing is that I tried a few XR that my friend gave me and I get a nice uplifting feeling after about 1/2 an hour and it lasts the whole day and at night I sleep well, which is another benefit, my sleep patterns used to be shit...
On this immediate release, I get a big hit right away, then I feel like taking more, plus they are sweet like candy... I have the fight off the urge to take more, so most likely I'll have him switch me to the XR on my next visit in 10 days... I do truly feel that this medication has improved my life a lot, I no longer have mood swings... I used to get them so bad, that a few people have told me that they thought I was schizophrenic... There are times that I've completely forgotten what I've done, I thought it was the drinking, but perhaps the drinking triggers it... I seem to have more balance now and I feel a nice, healthy euphoria, not a chemical one... Also my diet is right on the money, I haven't eaten anything unhealthy in the past few weeks now; if I can just keep this dose working for me...
Taking weekends off might be tough, because that's actually when I work most... During my week, I do various things, meet with clients, the city, I go to city council or zoning board one a month, hearings on violations for clients twice per week... So I mostly do design and drafting work in the evenings and weekends...
Sundays especially, hell I'm up now working at 6:00am on a Saturday... Perhaps, using the vyvnase on weekends is a good call... I also found that kre-alkalyn with caffeine works very well too, believe it or not, I take one or two of those with coffee and it feels very similar to Adderall...
