I’ve been on Vyvanse, Adderal, and Strattera.
Vyvanse was helpful. I was able to hold the same job for four years, where before my focus was so poor I would rarely last a year. I’m trying to get my psychiatrist to prescribe it again. There were no noticeable side effects.
Adderal didn’t have any noticeable side effects, but it wasn’t as effective as Vyvanse.
Strattera gave me no benefit, but caused the worst constipation I’ve ever experienced. Even now, more than a decade later, I still say I’m “all Stratterad up” when I can’t poop.


10mg is a minuscule dose of Vyvanse. The lowest recommended dose is 30mg, and lower dosages only exist to accommodate patients who suffer side effects at that dosage.
