Wow, I'm 36 with recently diagnosed ADHD, and I'm really interested in all the posts here. I've been using Vyvanse for the last month. While I Love that it's suppressing my appetite, I don't feel like it's doing very much for my ADHD.
39, got diagnosed a year ago and also put on vyvanse. That's pretty much the experience I got. However I did realise how much the constant feeling of starvation distracted me from my job (programming).
One correlation I am seeing is that fatigue makes everything worse. Melatonin before bed (and not being forced out of bed early in the morning) makes almost as much difference as the stimulants.
