Thursday, July 03, 2008 at 06:46 PMYes, on concerta and buproprion. Some days I don't think I could get anything accomplished without the meds, other days I think they don't help. Has been about 7-8 years on meds, but first 2 years was trying to see what worked.

Tuesday, August 12, 2008 at 01:15 AMYes I have recently switched from Adderal CR to Vyvanse. I receive my meds and cognitive behavioral therapy from a psychiatrist. I have been taking Adderall for about 4 years and it has worked well for me. Recently I have had more feeling of not functioning at my best, with the feeling of being overwhelmed with my "to do list" to the point of not taking any action. Vyvanse has a smoother transition into my system and then a smoother end to the day. I am okay with how it compares to Adderall but am hopeful to find a way to make myself "take action" or a medicsation to help me further focus on taking action on tasks. Has anyone found an additional medicine to ad to Adderall daily doseage to help my dysfunction?
