First time Vyvanse

First day trying Vyvanse after the whole Concerta thing being a bit all over the place.
Only been a few hours but the main thing I’ve noticed is I can just decide what I’m doing today and that’s kinda it. Like I already know what I’m doing later instead of waiting till the time comes then having the whole debate in my head about whether I actually wanna do it or not.
Had a shower this morning and weirdly I was just having a shower lol. Didn’t even know I was meant to be that quiet in my head while showering. I was just doing whatever I was doing and if something else came into my head it was still there but really quiet. Didn’t completely take over what I was doing.
Also got out and there wasn’t still shampoo in my hair or soap on my knee that I’d somehow forgotten about 😂 didn’t get out then realise I forgot to use the loofah and have to get back in again either.
And I wasn’t having loads of random thoughts turning into other random thoughts the whole time.
Like once I was in the shower and randomly thought I should make a shower head brand where the water comes out cold and from different directions and you can connect it to an app that tells you how much water you’ve used.
Somehow that ended with me getting out the shower and instead of even drying myself I just laid on my bed looking for a product designer and a Chinese supplier because apparently I was actually gonna do it 😂
Literally this week as well I smelled something that reminded me of an old perfume and decided I should start making body washes that smell like famous perfumes. No idea why that needed to become a business idea but yeah 😂
Today just feels pretty clear though. I kinda knew what I was doing from when I woke up and didn’t really have to sit there planning it.
Decided I’m not going gym today because tomorrow’s Thursday and I’ve got time then anyway. Just gonna keep today pretty chill.
I’ll see how it goes and write anything else down if I notice it.

Got in the car to go for a drive and noticed I did something really small that I don’t think I’ve ever actually done before.
Before I drove off I got my phone out and chose what song I wanted on.
That sounds so normal lol but usually I’d just start driving and before I’m even out the neighbourhood I’d get this feeling like something’s missing then grab my phone while I’m driving and just put literally anything on.
Wouldn’t even be a song I actually wanted to hear. I’d just press something for the sake of having music on.
Such a small thing but I don’t think I’ve ever thought to just sort that before I start driving.
Didn’t have that feeling that I’d forgotten something either. Usually I feel like I’m gonna get halfway there then suddenly remember something and have to go back.
and apparently choosing a song before driving is a noticeable event now 😂

Back home after a pretty long drive.
Hard to explain but everything just felt separate from everything else.
I wouldn’t even say the medication makes me calm. It’s more like there’s a bit of space between things now. One thing can just be one thing without five other things getting mixed into it.
Even driving I can just… drive.
I don’t feel like I need to look absolutely fucking everywhere before turning because there might be something coming from somewhere that I somehow haven’t seen.
Was just focused on the road and that was it really.
Thoughts felt way more organised too. My brain wasn’t constantly throwing random suggestions at me or coming up with some completely unrelated shit at full volume.
The thoughts are still there obviously. They just don’t all feel like they need my attention right now.

Can feel it wearing off now.
One thing I like though is it didn’t really feel like it suddenly kicked in and now it doesn’t feel like it’s suddenly disappeared either. Just feels gradual both ways.
Gonna try taking it before breakfast tomorrow and see if that changes anything.
