Switching from Concerta to Vyvanse
I started taking concerta when I was diagnosed with ADHD. I was on 36mg for about a year, and it worked for me pretty well. It helped me stay on top of full-time work.
Next year, I felt it wasn't working like before. Went up to 54 mg after a month. A couple of months later, 72mg. And I was miserable. I was so anxious, couldn’t get any work done.
After this suffering, my doctor decided to give up on concerta and try vyvanse. I started on 30 mg; it was working pretty well. I felt less anxious, less tense.
I moved up to 50mg a couple of months ago, and I’m a little bit shocked by the difference it’s made in my life. I’ve had more motivation to actually do work on time instead of procrastinating projects until the last minute.
If you’re considering switching from concerta to vyvanse, I highly recommend giving it a try.

I’m so glad to hear this, I also switched to vyvanse from concerta, and it's been working well for years now
Thanks, we are on the same page!
Happy to hear you found a medication that works well for you! ADHD medication sometimes requires trialing diff medications until you find one that works for you
Thanks so much! That's the entire point of my post
