"I’ve been on Mydayis 37.5mg for a week after taking two and a half 20 mg Adderall for four years. I feel slightly more focused for a few hours longer than my first dose of 20 mg Adderall but much, much more tired. I find myself looking for sugar or caffeine to keep focused at work after five or six hours. I don’t know if the dose is too low or it’s just not for me. Hopefully, at my next appointment after trying it for 30 days; my PCP will have some answers or suggestions! I don’t want to gain weight!!"

"I was prescribed Adderall IR 10mg 2x daily last summer but the dips between dosages were awful. My doctor prescribed Mydayis 12.5 mg to see if the XR would help even out the lows. Mydayis took several hours to kick in. I had to wake up 2 hours earlier than normal just to be productive by an acceptable time. The overall productivity effects were minimal. I became horribly irritable. I could not be in the same room as others and noise made me "fighty". (I typically have a very quiet, sweet disposition) I slept far more than average and noticed significant gaps in my memory. I was very nauseous and I began violently vomiting after each pill. Overall, it was an awful experience. I am back on Adderall IR and realize, as a college student, XR is not best for me. I need to be in control the effective period. IR gives me flexibility that Mydayis and pills like it can't provide."

"I have taken for one month. Works good but side effects are not good ! I noticed I have great anxiety and biting my nails like crazy ! I was not a nail biter either! Makes me feel a bit nervous too ! Works longer than vyvanse but not worth the side effects"

"Starting taking Mydayis after Vyvance got to be really expensive. For the first month I was on a 37.5 mg. It didn’t seem to help my focus and worse yet by 7PM I was ridiculously irritable. Dr decided to increase my dose to 50 mg during month 2. The first few days I felt pretty good. But by 5 days in I felt awful again. This time I felt like a zombie, had zero focus and still felt mad at the world. This stuff is awful. I would never recommend taking this stuff. Time to go back to vyvance."

"My doctor prescribed this to me for a month and it had no effect on me whatsoever. The same symptoms are still happening. I just think the drug sucks or the milligram that I was taking was way too low. Thank you"

"Previously I was on 25mg of adderall XR and 20mg of adderall IR since I would lose coverage so quickly. Mydayis takes longer to kick in but lasts me waaaaaasy longer (10 hours instead of 6). I started my own company so focus is super important for me. I’m currently on day 3 of 50mg of Mydayis and feel less speedy than when I had to take extra diesel of adderall IR. I have noticed a slight increase in my depression but hoping it will pass it a couple weeks as others have said. I also just switched from Prozac to Zoloft so that could be part of it too."

"Pretty bad. In fact, this is the worst ADHD med I have taken since Ritalin. It lasts longer? Well it takes like 3 hrs for it to kick in, and when it does, the effect isn't that strong. That same effect lasts for about 6-8 hrs, then it drops hard. Side effects are hilarious. I get the shakes, tingles, drowsiness (even right after I take it), itchiness, inability to sleep. That sounds like a crack head. Pros are that my appetite has been decent, I'm more social. Its almost like I didn't even take anything. Take vyvanse if you want to focus. Its smoother and stronger. This is a dirty drug for me."

"Mydayis was the most effective drug I have ever taken for my ADHD, and it worked too well. It is very good for getting any kind of work done, but the side effects were so insanely negative that I could not handle taking them any longer. I was prescribed Mydayis 25mg, and I would take it on the weekdays for school and sports to stay focused, but it had really affected my sleep, my appetite, my mental health drastically declined, I could not think rationally, and I was so irritable all of the time. The Mydayis had worsened my depression, anxiety, and would trigger me to pick my eyelashes and eyebrows (trichotillomania). While it had me wanting to do my work and I was finally motivated, I simply could not take the side effects anymore."

"Hey all- I can relate. I'm 27 and have been on adderall since I’ve been 13. I've tried Ritalin, focalin, adderall (obviously), vyvance, Ritalin .. and now I’m on mydayis being prescribed 50 mg with 20 mg IR to be divided in half taking each one separately. Mydayis kicks in literally 3 hours later, therefore, I need to take the half of 20mg IR first thing when I get up. Truthfully, vyvnance has been the most helpful to me.. I’m just always open to try something that could help me the best."

"I am a nursing student and a pharmacy technician so I see all the new drugs that hit the market like when this one did. I am up long hours since I have classes in the mornings until the afternoon, then I go to work for at least 7 hours per day after that. I have always had issues with school and ADHD. I finally decided to try medications when I was a freshman in college. I thought this medication would be perfect since it lasts so long. I hated having to take Adderall so many times a day and I would forget to take them all the time. Once I spoke to my psychiatrist and started the Mydayis I was sweating on my face so much and I had some heart palpitations which triggered my asthma constantly. I didn't even feel a big difference in my focus. I was already on the highest strength so there was nowhere else to go. We decided to go with Vyvanse and it's working great. I felt more awake on the medication, but not focused. I still felt squirrely and anxious."

"I'm eighteen years old and was taking Concerta (54mgs). I decided to try this (50mgs) and wow. First night, absolutely no sleep tossing and turning constantly. Second night I was able to get in about 5 hours even though I took the medication at 6am and tried to go to sleep at 12am. Third day was actually good, very focused and felt decent. But that night all hell broke loose. Tossing and turning again, and started thinking I did things that I really didn't do. Needless to say not a fun time."

"Tried for two months this stuff is horrible. My eyes itch my stomach hurts all the time and I never feel like I am getting any benefit I could fall asleep after taking this medication. I am more tired than alert. I will be asking to go back on VyVanse"

"Switched from Concerta to Mydayis for the longer duration mechanism Mydayis offers. Was started on 25mg of Mydayis. ADD symptoms improved but I experienced dry mouth, dizziness, heart increase, and appetite decrease which subsided after the first week. Second week I felt like the dose was not effective. Doc switched me to 37.5mg of the mydayis and so far symptoms of ADD improved but side effects are rough. Dry mouth, headache, dizziness, lack of appetite, increased anxiety. I’m on day 4 or 5 so hoping the side effects subside when my body adjusts to the higher dose... fingers crossed."

"I've been diagnosed with ADD for several years as an adult. I tried every med in the books without sufficient relief without significant side effects. I am currently on month 2 of Mydayis at the lowest dose, 25mg. I think I need to go up a dose, which I will discuss with my physician. However, even at the lowest dose I am experiencing relief without side effects. I am very grateful for this product - no highs, no lows, no crashes, and I can sleep at night. Best of all, there is currently a coupon that makes this drug affordable although it is not currently covered by my insurance."

"I just starting taking Mydayis. I, as well, am having problems with it (as I did with Adderall) taking too long to kick in. 4-5 hours. Felt totally scatter brained until the med would kick in. Decided to take it at bedtime. WOW! I was able to get up right away and get my day going, getting to work and able to focus better. The thing with Adderall is that it didn't last long enough. So I was switched to Mydayis but think I need to take it at bedtime as well. With it suppose to be longer acting (14-16 hours), I'm hoping I can sleep good, get up in the AM, focus and get going without the fatigue and not able to focus AND have it will last all day at work. Worth a try."

"Been on stimulants on and off since kindergarten (now 32). When I started college in my late 20s, I started back on Adderall XR. Without spending six paragraphs detailing the timeline which led to it, I had to stop taking Adderall XR @50mgs a day because when I stopped another medication (an opiate for chronic pain), my RLS went through the roof, so my psych suggested Mydayis @40mgs. This had no effect, so we bumped up over the course of 2 months to 100mgs, with no real results. It was like being on nothing at all. I've since started a med specifically for my RLS so I'm back on Adderall XR, but I strongly recommend that if you want to try this to avoid Adderall's side effects, make sure you don't have any important commitments for a while."

"Started Mydayis about a month ago at 37.5mg and wasn’t strong enough so increased to 50mg recently. The 50mg works pretty well, though I still feel the dosage isn’t quite high enough. Overall this medication is smooth in its delivery without a big crash, and lasts throughout the day into the evening. I just wish there was a dosage above 50mg. It’s worth trying if you are interested."

"Have been on 37.5mg for a little over two weeks now and it has been working well. Will be going up to the 50 mg dose as 37.5 is not quite enough. The medication works well in comparison to Adderall XR with a longer duration of effectiveness. This is a good medication for me so far."

"First day I felt it kick in but nothing since. I started at 25mg for a month it didn’t help so moved to 37.5 and if anything I have trouble staying awake now. I was on Vyvanse and it worked great so I will be asking to go back on Vyvanse this med stinks it’s a joke"

"This makes me very nauseous if I don’t eat enough food when I take it. It seems to me like it takes longer to start working, compared to adderall. It does not seem as effective as adderall in my opinion but I guess it lasts longer throughout the day. I am currently using a Rx coupon so I pay $15/month. Dosage 37.5mg. Compared to adderall (which I was on for years), Mydayis causes less of a lack of appetite and less of that “pounding heart” feeling. I also feel that I am able to sleep better on this. The lowest dose did nothing at all for me besides nausea. 37.5 mg is better but I would probably be fine increasing to 50mg"

"Had been taking adderall 30 mg twice a day with ritalin. Worked fine for first week, then started making my left knee swell and leg muscles ache so much, I could barely walk. Once I stopped the 50 mg and went back to ritalin, pain went away after 2 days."

"I got diagnosed late than typical ADHD (age 16), but it was clear that I definitely had it. Therefore I was thrown into the deep end with medications. I have tried everything under the sun. Pretty much hated everything. It turned me into a zombie and messed way too heavily with my stomach. I’m 28 now and about two and a half years ago my doctor told me about Mydayis. It was the best decision I ever made. I take 37.5 mg, and it works like a breeze. I stay focused, and it really keeps my mind straight. Working 3rd shift the side effect of sleeplessness is actually a benefit. The only negative side effect is the upset stomach. It’s for about 1-2 hours after taking it. Other than that it works perfectly."

"If I could give this medication a 11 points, I would. No serious side effects and I appreciate that last 16 hrs with minimal “crash”. When I take it, I take it with valerian root ( Valerin) to avoid the anxiety and at night I take magnesium for sleep. I like to take 1 day break ( advise from my psych) in order to avoid my body getting use to it and had to then increase dose. Read how it works (3 different beads) and you will be impressed. I’m lucky that my insurance covers it so I have a small co pay."

"You need to go off the drug for awhile like me. If you have been taking continuous for more than 3 months, you will have to increase dosage to follow tolerance. A safer method is to go off for a month, on for 2 months. Another is to only take it when you absolutely need it. Don't just take it because it's there. How in the hell do they feel right prescribing 60mg? "

"It worked for like 2-3 hours more than a 6 hour Adderall XR dose but I am a Dexedrine Spansule and Zenzedi guy. Vyvanse and Desoxyn didn‘t calm me at all. And I liked Daytrana oddly but Ritalin is less effective. The doses are off. I figured it would range from 7.5 mg to 90 mg dosing."
