"I was prescribed vyvanse chewable 30 mg in the am and 30 at noon. I loved it, but had a month where I didn't take it regularly at noon. Dr suggested this because of the extended release. 2 weeks in: My sleep is concerning. I haven't hit rem in 3 days now. I have no appetite even in the am before I take the mydayis. I have to force feed myself, even icecream is a struggle after the 3rd bite. The 2-3 hours after I take it I feel lost, can't track conversations, no/minimal recall, I can't even prioritize. After those hours things level out a bit, but I don't have the motivation I had with Vyvanse. I believe there is link between loss of quality sleep and stuggling to meet my dietary requirements and how the drug affects me."

"Quite possibly the worst medication available. To everyone whose lives it changed, try adderall or adderall xr. It will change it even better. I'm 32 and have been on 50mg of adderall xr for many years. Before that vyvnse but found I was picking at my skin. adderall xr was cutting out early in the day and my dr said try mydayis. (She also wrote me a script for adderall, probably bc she knew mydayis sucks). First day. 4 hours after taking mydayis 50 not working. 10 hours, still nothing.I had wasted my day being not productive. Whoever thought 4 hours before a medication might help you with ADHD was nuts. Or just shire trying to get a new med out there bc adderall is generic. The end of my day was when I had a complete breakdown over dinner. Sobbed for hours and felt so depressed. I tapered down my adderall to 25 mg and figured I'd give mydayis 50 another try. Nope. By 3pm complete sobfest and a in really dark place. Yeah mydayis is $3 a fill with their marketing pack...not worth it."

"Over the last 5 years I’ve tried Adderall XR, adderall In tablet form, vyvanse and Ritalin in just about every dosage and I think Mydayis is the most effective of them all. Both Adderall XR and vyvanse would wear off early and I would need multiple adderall tablet pick me ups to get through the day, and even took more than prescribed which would leave me out of medicine early. Mydayis 50 mg in the morning gets me through the entire day, no additional afternoon pick me ups needed. It doesn’t make me feel like my heart is beating out of my chest as adderall did but still works very clean and effectively. I don’t quite understand all the other negative reviews, and would recommend."

"I like Mydayis! I've tried Vyvanse and Straterra and those didn't do much in the area of focusing but the Mydayis is like the perfect drug. It is released three times a day which is a release after taking it, during mid day, and afternoon and you basically stay focused all day. ADHD medicine is an individual thing because Mydayis works for me but someone else might not like it. Like people rave about Vyvanse but it didn't do much for me. Mydayis is basically adderall but it's released different and you don't have to take an instant release capsule after the extend release wears off. With Mydayis you take one pill and you set for the rest of the day"

"Mydayis was a game changer for me. Adderall XR and Vyvanse seemed to only last about 6 hours unlike Mydayis which lasts about 14. However it takes a really long time to kick in and sometimes I have even fallen back to sleep. I have ADHD and Lupus so I am constantly fatigued but the Mydayis helps me have the energy to get out of bed. For me I find 20mg of Adderall and Mydayis in the morning works best. I feel the effects of the Adderall within 30 minutes but by the time it wears off the Mydayis has taken effect. I also feel its more of an even amount of focus and concentration and I never have that mid day drag where I need to take a IR dose. I don’t like taking a dose mid day because my body can be weird with all types of ADHD meds. Some days it is like I take a placebo while other days I am sweating and feel wired, which is easily solved w/ cardio! Mydayis works the best, its just the $$$$ super expensive. i hope they create a generic. I think this is best for adults as well!"

"Mydayis has been a game changer for me. I was on 60mg of Adderoll XR for years, and I’d lose focus in the mid afternoon so I’d take another one. At the end of the month, I’d run short, get irritable, and sleep until I got my script filled again. Vicious cycle. Mydayis 50 mg keeps me level and on a smooth, even keel all day. I usually take it a few hours before waking up since it does take awhile to kick in. After a week of taking 37.5mg , I did experience some depression but it passed. I’m very grateful that I started Mydayis. My quality of life has improved greatly."

"I have been on Mydayis for a few months now. It has changed my life. Initially, I was on 25mg, but I have Bipolar Disorder as well, so it made me manic when I would take it. I am now on the 12.5 mg and I am finally productive at college and it's even helped some of my anxiety. All other ADD/ADHD medicine before this has always made my anxiety worse and the side effects outweighed the benefits, but I am so glad my doctor put me on this. Without it, my brain fog is intense and I cannot function normally."

"I have been in adderall for about 12 years. I’ve been on 15 mg XR for the past 3 years until I switched to Mydayis 12.5mg. Overall I’ve enjoyed the medicine. I’ve been on it 4 - 5 months. The only negative side effect is my lower back has been killing me! At first I thought I was dehydrated or it was a UTI. Increasing my water intake and an antibiotic didn’t touch the pain."

"Mydayis is a long acting medication, class: amphetamine, with 3 doses combined to be released about every 4 hours. Thank God for the Chemists' who intricately designed the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in relation to Mydayis! I've had ADHD for 37 years and suffered many hardships due to the scrutiny of taking medication for my ADHD. I'm able to focus on one task at a time and am not distracted! I wake up at 6am: take Mydayis 37.5 mg. It kicks in by 0800. At 1pm, the 2nd dose is released and definitely can feel the effects without any crashes. 3rd dose is released by about 5pm steadily. I now have the ability to stay on task without any crashes. I fall asleep easily, the best aspect!"

"I was taking Adderall XR 25 mg daily, and it was wearing off very quickly. Mydayis sounded like a dream, last’s the whole day, and a manufacturer coupon that left me with a $3 copay!! That dream turned into a nightmare when it managed to trigger my bipolar depression... let’s just say I’ve missed the past week of my life due to this drug. I wouldn’t recommend this medication to my worst enemy!! Buyer beware especially if you have comorbid conditions like bipolar depression!!"

"It takes too long to kick in, I have to get up hours before I am suppose to just to take it so I am alert at work. I was just sitting here today trying to figure why I have been so tired and sad and I started reading the side effects and now it all makes sense. I am going to keep taking it until my month is up and if it doesn't get better I am going back to my vyvance and adderall."

"I have taken IR Adderall for several years, but the majority of the generics are horrible and getting name brand was near impossible plus expensive. So I decided to try Mydayis because my insurance offered it as a covered alternative to Adderall. I have taken Mydayis for 6 weeks and it is awful. I haven’t been myself at all since starting it; I have been depressed, anxious, and agitated. I’ve had zero motivation to do anything. I could take it in the morning, drink a cup of coffee, and an hour later be drowsy enough to fall asleep on the couch. I don’t recommend Mydayis at all, especially if you’re looking for an alternative to name brand adderall. Even the worst generic adderall ir is better than Mydayis."

"I had been taking adderall xr 30 mg for 10 years and it started wearing off too early and not being as effective. I started on Mydayis 37.5 mg and it is work amazing! It lasts much longer than Adderall XR and there is no crash like I used to have terribly on Adderall XR."

"I switched from adderall XR 20mg (3 Years) to Mydais 25mg (1 month), but felt no positive or negative effects (like taking nothing), so upped the dose to 37.5mg (~2 weeks). I’ve personally never had worse side effects from any drug. Most bothersome were strong headaches with sensitivity to light, dizziness, unusual motion sickness/nausea, achey muscles, restlessness, racing heart/palpitations, and fatigue and irritability.... plus other common adderall-ish side effects. But, yeah, takes a few hours to take effect, and not covered by insurance ($100+/30-day supply), so will not continue. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you."

"Today was my first day on mydayis 50mg. I was taking vyvanse 50mg but it was only helping for about 4-5 hours then wearing off. Today I could really tell the difference in my concentration/ focus and my energy; it was much better. I did however feel tired about an hour to two hrs after taking it but then got motivation after that for the remainder of the day. Like I said my focus was better I wasn’t running around my house like a crazy woman starting a ton of tasks and finishing none. I was able to get things accomplished pretty easily today. I am remaining hopeful that mydayis will continue to work for me."

"The first day, I was so ill it was inconceivable. Plain and simple. The second: gave me such an intense deep sleep it was still hard to grasp. Yes, I took the RIGHT prescribed pill. Obviously, way too many PERSONAL variables to go slamming a new med, (some people report very positive reactions) but after MY experience I really question the mad scientists behind this stuff. Stick to the basic Adderall."

"Switched to this from Vyvanse. Totally regret it. Now it does stay in the system longer, but it does not hit as hard. I want help focusing and this barely does any aid for that. The downsides are overwhelming. My heart is beating faster than it ever has. I need to take sleep aids at night. This stuff is nasty. I'm calling to change back tomorrow for sure."

"I've been taking Mydayis for about 2 weeks. I was diagnosed with ADHD 7 yrs ago and took Adderall XR 30mgs +10mgs every day. Even though it helped me in many ways it also made me anti-social, anxious, over use it sometimes and very thirsty at all times. For those reasons I decided to try something else (Mydayis 37.5). Honestly, I feel much more motivated, my energy increased, I'm not longer anti-social, no crash, and most importantly I can focus well. For about a week I had some side effects, (increased heart beat, couldn't sleep, focus well high BP) so give it some time to adjust. I also read that most people that switched from Vyvanse to Mydayis are suffering from depression. Be careful"

"I was on Adderall XR 20mg for years! I was told to try Mydayis 25mg and 3 hours after I took it my heart rate was at 150. It was weird because it dipped fast between 150 all the way down to 50 with in seconds! It was awful! My anxiety is still super high by the experience I’ve had today!"

"It's helped, but these side effects are a bit much. Whenever I take it, I often feel depressed. I'm not entirely sure if that's the best way to describe it, but I end up kinda hating myself and not wanting to do anything because I'm a piece of rubbish. This is a common side effect, but I've also been having vision problems and they've only been happening after I started taking the medication. It could just be a coincidence, but this new farsightedness is definitely out of the ordinary. My parents also needed glasses, but I'm pretty sure neither of them were specifically farsighted."

"I went from taking Adderall XR 20mg twice a day + Adderall IR 20mg once a day, to Mydayis 50mg. This hasn’t been effective at all. Not motivated. Not focused. I rather just have Adderall XR plus my IR booster rather than the “convenience” of taking 1 capsule a day. Waste of my time."

"Caused increased irritability and insomnia. Having to wake up early to take the medication because it lasts so long is very frustrating, especially when it causes insomnia. I started getting up at 5 AM to take it and still wasn't able to fall asleep until after 1 AM"

"I was on 70mg Vyvanse for several years, but was constantly complaining that it stopped working by 2pm every day. So when Mydayis came out, my doctor suggested I try it. It DOES last longer, but that also means constantly being "on" from the time you take your pill to the time you fall asleep. This led to a non-stop feeling of being overwhelmed and worsened anxiety. I was stuck in a state of exhaustion but never able to rest. I started at 32.5mg and didn't feel it was helping me concentrate, so I went up to 50mg and still didn't feel like I was concentrating well. The worst issue I had is a much higher diastolic blood pressure - I'm talking after 4 months on Mydayis, I was 15 points higher than before I started it. Additionally, I started grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw leading my dentist to comment on some chipping of my teeth from grinding. I'm switching back to Vyvanse. Mydayis is not worth it - be careful what you wish for, I guess!"

"I was on 70mg of Vyvanse & 30mg Adderall before I was switched to 50mg Mydayis. I had a bad crash before if I forgot to take my second dose early enough. I was able to focus & finish tasks of a morning but evenings were difficult. Now with the Mydayis I have a rough time in the mornings. My daughter had perfect attendance until I started this new medicine. I timed it & it's taken almost 4 hours for me to wake up. I took it at 4:45am. I also have a really hard time getting to sleep if a night. I don't have the bad crashing as I did before but I catch myself grinding my teeth a lot. I absolutely hate that I have to take it at 3am to be able to function by 7am."

"It's okay, but its very slow to kick in and when it goes off is very slow so its kinda torturing. ADD people will know what I'm talking about , the panic attacks come and goes , and focus is not that great , its a lot cheaper if u using coupon. Vyvanse has less side effects but more expensive. BTW it gives u dry mouth ,so consistently drink..."
