I think it's worthwhile exploring with your provider what you are actually hoping the medication can do. If you're expecting it to give you energy and motivation to get out of bed and start the day, Vyvanse may not be the medication for you. For me I use Vyvanse to help lower my impulsivity, calm my mind, settle my body, and help me stay on task. I still struggle with a lot of the other symptoms.

It could be that Vyvanse isn't the right medication, or that it won't do what you're hoping. Talk with your provider about what your biggest challenges and concerns are, and see if there's a way to target those symptoms with a specific medication. If you have other symptoms like dissociation or mood issues those can definitely degrade the benefit of any medication that your'e on. It's important to actively treat all the things at once if possible. Good luck!
