I gather here today with all my other ADHD brothers and sisters to note: we were all distracted with the fact he is writing with both hands 👐 (I'm ambidextrous as well)!

[SkinnyDancer]

Adhd people.. just heard the music and was try soo hard to listen

[mariastone]

You can write with both hands?! Whaaaat! I've heard of this but never seen it.

I've only been on this for two days, and WOW, what can I say? It doesn't fix everything, but I'm feeling like it's giving me the equipment to actually be able to learn and function, see HOW to go about running one's life. So with therapy and other beneficial things, I feel like this could seriously change my life and wellbeing for the better :D

My ADHD just went: "Aaaah he's writing with both hands. It's not possible!!!!"

Headache in my experience is usually being dehydrated. Hence the dry mouth. Drink more fluids and dry mouth and headaches probably get better

Can you Please re-edit this and take the music off? It's going in and out at the end and it's really distracting from your voice

I was really distracted by the background music in this video I had to rewind it a few times 😭 good thing I was recently prescribed a medication

[fhxs]

My hands become so cold on vyvanse. I’ll get out of the shower feel a little chilly overall, but my hands will be absolutely freezing for like 2 hours.

Doc, this was a really helpful, informative presentation and I'm grateful for it. If I might add one constructive criticism, and I might be one of a few who experienced this, the background very peppy electronic music was very overstimulating to me personally. But I very much appreciate your content.

The worst thing about elvanse. Is the ekstrem sweat under the arms, and cold feet and hands. But overall. Its the best adhd medicin i have been on. I feel i got my life back

As an ADD person, I stopped following this at 4:05 and started researching ambidexterity on my phone. That's quite a rare talent. Explanation is a bit dry though.

My doctor prescribed me anxiety medication before Vyvanse. I took anxiety meds for about a month to make sure it was stabilized and then I started taking the Vyvanse.

I would really advise not adding any music in the background, it's incredibly infuriating and I can't watch the video with it

[hckynrscnd]

Great video. I’ve definitely noticed a massive lack of appetite since taking this. Lost 6 lb in a week and half but have since stopped losing weight and it’s been about 2 weeks. Insomnia was severe the first few days of taking it. I was sleeping at 5:30am! I use melatonin now and cut down to 1/2 a pill for a few days, then 3/4 (doctor recommended) as he didn’t want to prescribe a sleeping pill. I was annoyed tbh but I’m glad now that he didn’t as I won’t have to rely on a sleeping pill forever now, other then the occasional melatonin pill

So informative, thank you! Maybe one day I can be ambidextrous. For now I'll enjoy being left handed. It was fascinating to watch! Definitely much easier to do on a board.

[JimmyR]

I started 30mg last week and I can’t stop pissing. Every 30 mins it’s so embarrassing my wife says I need to get my prostate checked but I’m fine when I don’t take the vyvanse 🤷‍♂️

[Avysaurus]

Sir... I already have attention issues. Thanks for the info but why this music?

[laurenjwolf]

Is that statistic for lessened appetite correct? I'm struggling to believe it's only 26% with 3% actually losing weight. Nearly every review video or ADHD medication forum I've been on has said its a major side affect, and one I'm suffering from myself. I've lost 7lbs in 6 days and I'm having to force food down.

[siyadjawad]

I get ready bad body odor smell. Is that a common issue or is it just me?
