I’ve been diagnosed about 8 years ago and while I’d say I’m highly functional I don’t want to go on vyvanse again because the side effects are so strong. Anyone have any advice or want to share their experiences?

    I haven’t tried any others but whenever I’m on it shit definitely works. However after a few months it stops working and the impact to my sleep and general anxiety makes me want to go off it again.

      It is very, very likely that there is a better option for you. Just to name one: You could get methylphenidate (or even Vyvanse again) and use it only as needed. A lot can get done in 10 or 20 “power-days” per year, even when you just drag along for the rest of it.
