I’m on 70mg of Elvanse (same stuff) and I’ve finally started to feel it but its subtle. The appetite suppression kicked in down at 30mg but the focus and mental shift (feeling good and not resentful at completing tasks and things which seemed impossible to tackle don’t look as daunting which helps with procrastination) really didnt happen until I hit 70mg.
I’ll try. just once, given that it gives me high blood pressure. my max dose was 40mg, and I got frustrates and began thinking they gave me placebos or some building.
In my experience it requires a bit of mental effort to go along with it rather than waiting for it to have an obvious effect. Like with painkillers or antidepressants you can feel it affecting you without needing anything on your part. Elvanse for me has been more like, I still need to make a huge effort for things like getting out of bed or to not procrastinate but that “barrier” is lower and once you start you can just stick to the task a lot easier. So its more like an assistance or booster that doesn’t do much by itself rather than an obvious “cure” of symptoms and behaviour.
