What people say about Lisdexamfetamine and anxiety
“I got diagnosed with ADHD and tried Ritalin and Elvanse and they do help somewhat when I need to learn for an exam but I hate the feeling of being on them.”
“I recently got diagnosed with ADHD and it blows my mind that my anxiety has decreased by about 70% since starting Vyvanse.”
“Vyvanse is better than Adderall in every single way... I feel happy, calm and collected.”
“I'm at 40mg, it got better with 40mg compared to 30 but it's still pretty noticeable. I tried 60mg but it caused anxiety and emotional issues and I couldn't sleep.”
