Hi everyone!
I’ve just recently started titration, I’m now on 50mg of Elvanse (Lisdexamfetamine)… curious if anyone has had the same effect as I am having now.
On the 30mg I felt like the static/shouting/noise whatever in my brain was muted but I had access to it, like it was in a cabinet in my head. I was able to focus on tasks at work and all that, although it didn’t last all day, maybe until about 2pm (taking the dose between 830 and 9).
A couple days ago I moved up to 50mg and the first day was… okay. I have definitely been able to concentrate on work. Yesterday was like I was a zombie. During the work day I got plenty done. It was like I was in a controllable hyper focus all day, but I didn’t feel like myself, and I feel like the personable side of me is not there. I’m not sure if it’s lack of emotion or what.
I had volleyball practice last night and honestly I felt like a zombie. A completely empty shell by that point, which I have had pre-medication after coming out of a particularly long hyper-focus before, but I am a bit worried about this because it was not pleasant. I’m not sure if I could face that every day.
I am due to increase to 60mg from next Wednesday and it is making me nervous. Will the impact of the medication reduce a bit over the next few days or is this what it will be like?
Out of curiosity, is anyone on a lower dose like 30 or 40mg? If you are do you do a booster in the afternoon?
Uh, I’m on 30mg of Elvanse and I think I took two pills (60mg) this morning by mistake.
On a scale of 1 to 10 of much funked am I?
(With 30mg I wasn’t noticing anything at all so I hope to not overdose). :)
Probably a question for your healthcare provider or dial 111 if you need more urgent advice (assuming you are UK, otherwise look up the non emergency number for your area).
