Anxiety and depression on Vyvanse
I recently started taking Vyvanse, it’s been about a week. It really does make things easier to do. Previously I had taken it for about a week and everything was going well but then I started getting anxious and depressed. Quit it for a while, started it up again and the same thing is happening. Anybody else experienced something similar? Does it go away?
Perhaps you should ask your doctor to try a different medication, sometimes some meds just don’t work for you in some way or another.
When I was trying to find something for my anxiety back in the day (in my early 20s) I tried quite a few things that either didn’t work like I wanted or made it so much worse. To the extent I gave up on trying to find things for it for years.
Now I just take my ADHD meds (Straterra) and since I’ve started it (about a year ago) I haven’t had any issues with my anxiety (went for a few panic attacks a month to none) so I’m not even trying anything for the anxiety.
I guess for me it helped me be able to focus on other things than what was currently causing a spiral
Basically
Brain starts stressing about random shit
“Excuse me brain I’m busy right now”
Or in other situations
Randomly being reminded of some fucked up shit I’ve experienced
“Excuse me brain I’m busy ATM could we focus on something else right now”
Of course this is all in addition to working on methods of handling stress in general (square breathing, etc)
