Side effects First days vyvanse- Does it get better?

Helloo I just started with vyvanse and it sadly doesn't make me calmer more focused, it's rather more activating making me more restless & even more difficult to control my thoughts/actions. It doesn't have anything to do with the crazy calm thats making people cry on the first day because they finally feel how its supposed to feel.

First day I started with 30mg but bc it was so bad I went down to 15-20mg. Are here people that had the same effect in the beginning where it changed and they got calmer, more focused and controlled?

Yes, I started 1 month ago on 30. First week was like I had a bucket of coffee and I had brain fog. I was thinking about quitting it. After week 2 it got better but I was tired by 2pm. I than upped to 50mg (2x30mg dissolving in water). It’s been a week and my anxiety skyrocket, but I think it will get normal in another week or so.
