I ran out of Vyvanse three weeks back. It’s been months my rather low dose didn’t do its full effect anymore, I just didn’t go back to see my doc to get it adjusted. However, looking at how much of a disorganized mess I am these last couple of weeks, I guess it was still doing something - holy shit am I not getting much done, like, at all 😬

Yeah, I've felt a bit of the same. My meds don't seem to do much until I miss a dose then I'm like... Whelp, I'm fucking useless today.

At first the drugs have a kind of amplified effect, as that simmers down, the effects are still there, it's just, not as pronounced and noticable.

And to be clear to anyone who isn't ADHD and on meds, they're not magic. The ADHD is still definitely there, all the medication does is dim the effects to a more manageable level. Before medication, trying to get something done that my brain wasn't super interested in, would be like trying to nail jello to a wall. It just wouldn't happen. Now I can actually get myself off the couch, put down my phone and do a thing without feeling like I'm dragging my corpse along for the ride.
