    It helps me with the exact same things, and the hard crash used to be similar for me. But the doc found that Vyvanse caused it only indirectly: I was working hard (even on things like cleaning), didn’t feel the need for pauses and rest, didn’t eat and drink enough. After doing these things by schedule rather than how I felt, it was completely fixed.

    Your situation sounds like a different quality, probably with different causes.

      Yeah I got the anxiety big time, so vyvanse just isn‘t the right med for me. Good that it works for you

        Absolutely, people are very different. In my particular case, I used to get anxiety, and it got worse with caffeine. Got benzos for years as an when-needed fallback. ADHD had not been diagnosed yet. Turned out that much of it was a magnesium deficit, and magnesium replaced benzos completely. I also tried modafinil before I was officially diagnosed, and it worked pretty great. But that is just my very specific case.

        The only general takeaway is to keep searching for what’s up and what works for you, and that is probably very different in your case.
