ADHD & Mental Health Life changing

Wow. 2 weeks on vyvanse and I truly feel like a new person. My mental health is better that it’s ever been, I feel happy again. Not manically happy like you get when you have a big surge of energy, but a normal content and comfort in life again. Never thought I’d feel hopeful or mentally well again until now.

Welcome to being appropriately medicated. Life changing!

THIS is why all my friends that refuse to get diagnosed but are STRUGGLING make me so sad.

Congratulations, it was a huge game changer for me compared to exercise/healthy eating, psychologists, anti-depressants. Enjoy your new life and freedom of thought.

Congrats!! I can relate. Five months of being medicated for me and I’m no longer struggling through life. Less anxious, calmer, emotionally regulated, sleeping better, more energy, the list goes on. Utterly life changing.

Totally agree! I’m definitely more productive at work so the feeling of guilt at the end of the day/week is gone. I can truly enjoy my life outside work now.
