For ADHD "I took Mydayis 37.5 mg for 2 years. I just recently ran out and decided to wait a week to refill. I cannot believe the change in myself! While on it, I became withdrawn and too focused on one specific thing. I cut out people and ruined my small business. I didn't feel human! I can't explain the feeling, but now that I haven't taken it in a week, I feel like myself again! I was just flesh living day by day on Mydayis! I will NEVER touch it again! Please tell me there are others out there with similar experiences."

For ADHD "I am 32 years old. On ADD meds since 3rd grade. Was on 30 mg XR Adderall in am & 10 mg Adderall at lunch. Doctor recommended Mydayis based off lasting period. He prescribed 25 mg. 1 month in, great, not to mention I was able to fall asleep for the first time in my life without taking a sleep aid. But after 1 month, all hell broke loose. Began to notice an odd feeling of like flat line, not happy, not sad. I then got this odd feeling in my chest about 2 p.m. every day plus anxious. Contacted doc & he said it worked great month 1, so let's bump it down to 12.5 mg. Did nothing, called the doc back & said I wanted bumped back up. I am now on day 3 of taking the 25 mg & I am short of breath & I have almost a hollow feeling in my chest starting at approximately noon. I'm clenching my teeth, feel irritable & anxious. I've tried Ritalin, Concerta, XR Adderall & Adderall. Recommendations for someone that has taken a lot, and none of the other meds mentioned above have worked?"

For ADHD "I have been taking 50 mg of Mydayis for a few months now, and I have been happy with my experience on this medicine. I have been on several regimens, including Vyvanse 70 + Dexedrine 10 booster, Adderall XR + Dexedrine 10 booster, Adderall XR + Adderall 10 booster, Focalin XR, etc., but I decided to give Mydayis a go since my new insurance has it covered on its formulary ($50 a month copay). Like others have said, this drug runs in the background, but I find it much more consistent and way longer acting than Adderall XR and even longer than Vyvanse, which only lasted 6 hours max for me. I take it at 5:30 AM and feel the medicine until about 5 PM (~10 hours, give or take). Mydayis is less anxiety-provoking, but I still feel like my ADHD symptoms are controlled around the clock, and yet at the same time, I feel more like myself than I did strung out on the other medicines. If you’re looking for an option that lasts a long while and your insurance will help pay for it, I think it’s a good option."

For ADHD "I have been taking Mydayis for 2 months. I switched from 25 mg of generic Adderall XR because of the afternoon crash to 37 mg of Mydayis for more support in the evening. I was expecting it to have the same effect, but I didn't feel like it was working at first. I was starting to feel more and more tired, along with a slower and slower processing speed. I struggle with sluggish cognitive tempo, which is currently diagnosed as ADHD inattentive subtype. I asked my doctor to try 50 mg because it felt weak. I have been on it for 2 weeks now and I feel like myself again, and I really appreciate the support it provides in the evening. I'm still just a little confused as to why the generic version at 25 mg felt stronger than the brand name at 37! The only negative side effect at this point is that my scalp had been really itchy. I'm hoping that will go away after a few more weeks."

For ADHD "My insurance company didn't want to pay for it, and I read that it has the same ingredient as Adderall. So my doc prescribed Adderall XR twice daily. It works fine for me. Use online coupons and save up to 60% of the regular price. Most doctors think if you take it twice daily, then you'll have insomnia. But if you take the second dose at least 8 hours apart, then you should be fine. I've taken one dose 10 hours apart and still fell asleep, and my mind was at peace. Don't suffer if you are in need of help for ADHD. And I'm not here saying this medication is bad. I just want others to know that if you can't get this med, then try what I've done. Don't give up hope."

For ADHD "I've been taking Adderall XR for 5 years now, and it's been working fine, but my doctor offered for me to try Mydayis so that it would last a bit longer. I've been taking Mydayis 37 mg for 2 months now and have become increasingly irritable, VERY DEPRESSED, and unmotivated. I even relapsed with self-harm, which I haven't done in 6 years. I also had my first extreme panic attack. I was finally in a good mindset before I took this, which took YEARS of therapy and medications. If you have struggled with depression in the past and still struggle with it occasionally, I would not suggest this drug AT ALL."

For ADHD "Wow. This stuff is so effective I don't even notice it coming or going. I've tried most of all the ADHD medications, and this one helped a lot of my major symptoms, but I still find myself randomly starting a project without finishing it. Usually, I take both or switch around Adderall IR, Zenzedi, then a long-term one like this or Vyvanse. I like it loads more than Vyvanse. I've been on all of these for most of 12 years, and if it's helping my dry mouth without affecting my appetite, I'm happy. Note I do not even feel Adderall or anything kick in, but with this one I just notice I'm randomly being more productive, and so even at max dose, I have no idea what your tolerance is. Way better than the generic Adderall XR. It's like the adult's Adderall XR that lasts a really long time."

For ADHD "I take 50 mg of Mydayis in the morning every day. It takes a little bit of time to kick in, but when it does, I can focus and behave like a normally functioning human being. When I was taking Adderall XR twice a day, I could barely get my work done and had a lot of trouble staying on task. I take it with a low dose of clonazepam to help with my anxiety that was there long before I started taking Adderall. Some people don't understand why a person would need medications like this, and I just want to say that it's all about quality of life. I could not thrive without this med."

For ADHD "I do not like this medicine at all. I feel awful! I screwed up on my test and studying because of it. It is not for me. I was on Vyvanse, but the only issue that I had with Vyvanse was that it only lasted 4 hours! I miss Vyvanse so much. It made me feel so good and more confident, and my focus was on a thousand, and it helped with some anxiety! My doctor and I wanted to give Mydayis a try because it lasts longer. It does last longer, but I feel depressed, lazy, less focused, and just drugged, and that's it. I'm calling my doctor tomorrow to let him know I can't stand this drug at all! I want Vyvanse back right away. I really do hope that they can accommodate me. I will give this Mydayis to the pharmacy so that my health insurance will know that I'm not trying to keep it. It's been only a week since I have been on it. I'm not a fan at all. I want off. It's messing me up."

For ADHD "I'm a big fan of this medication 50 mg and the triple-bead release system that keeps it from pooping out midday. I've had zero side effects since I started, and my only complaint is the cost, a whopping $300 some dollars for a 30-day supply compared to $50 for Vyvanse 70 mg, which isn't nearly as effective for me. I used to be on just quick-release Adderall, but those days are long gone as far as effectiveness goes."

For ADHD "I have taken Ritalin LA and had to switch to Concerta due to availability. Concerta never quite worked for my ADHD or chronic fatigue syndrome. I experienced drastic ups and downs. Last week, I was prescribed 37.5 mg of Mydayis, and it has been a huge game changer for me. Within an hour, I feel the energy and focus kick in, and I am there until bedtime. This is how Ritalin LA (morning and noon doses) worked for me. I am also waking up easier and earlier, as well as sleeping well. Mydayis has been a true Godsend for me and my career."

For ADHD "To me, this is an incredible RX for adults with AADD or ADD. Your focus and attention are steady and even throughout your day. My attention to detail and follow-through at work has improved dramatically. The only side effect I’ve seen is hair loss. Hopefully, after my second month of this life-changing medication, this will stop. This one side effect for me would be a deal breaker if it continues."

For ADHD "Mydayis works great if you are on the right dose. I noticed some people on here are not getting the right strength when converting from Vyvanse or Adderall. To the person whose doctor switched you from 70 of Vyvanse to 25 mg of Mydayis - you're getting less medication! That’s why it’s not working for you. You should be taking 50 mg. You will notice a BIG difference!"

For ADHD "Not at all what I expected. Have used Vyvanse with success, but went back to Adderall, more flexibility dosing. Can take a second dose during the day if necessary, or not. Mydayis takes an unusually long time to kick in. Have found that I am much more irritable, foggy, and have experienced feelings of being overwhelmed at work doing things that I normally handle day in and day out with no problem. I am, for the most part, easygoing, everything seems to annoy me since I began using Mydayis. Also, have experienced headaches during lag times, body aches, and flu-like symptoms. A lot of the time, I feel worse than I do unmedicated. Do not like Mydayis at all. Will not be refilling."

For ADHD "I’ve been using this for 30 days and really find it to be more effective than anything I’ve previously tried. It took a few days to get used to the idea that I have to drink a ton of water. I was getting really bad headaches for the first week towards the end of the day. Once I started making sure my water intake was sufficient, the headaches went away. I think this triple time release is perfect for someone who has a long day but would hesitate to give it to a teen or someone who requires more sleep and rest. It is essential that you take it upon waking if you want to get to sleep on time at night."

For ADHD "I switched to Mydayis from Vyvanse. The effects of Mydayis last longer than Vyvanse, but just as—in my experience—Vyvanse did not last fourteen hours, Mydayis’s duration of action falls short of the sixteen hours as advertised by Shire. Nonetheless, I still hold Mydayis superior to Vyvanse and Adderall."

For ADHD "It's interesting to see how varied people's experiences were. I've been on a number of different medications for ADHD over the years. Mydayis is the only one that has lasted long enough and has the least dramatic come-down. The crash from Adderall felt like falling off a cliff. I think I'd have to really be out of options to go back on it. I'd opt for Dexedrine first. I could definitely tell when the Vyvanse wore off, but the come-down was more gradual and the final drop-off feels more like stepping off a curb. Mydayis feels sort of like the little slope they put into the curb for wheelchairs. Unfortunately, Takeda is ending their patient assistance program so I have to switch back to Vyvanse (thankfully there's now a generic)."

For ADHD "It's helping with talking too much, binge eating, organization, memory, motivation, prioritizing tasks, memory, breaking hyper-focus, listening, conveying thoughts, studying, homeschooling my preschooler, staying awake all day, sleeping all night, and my organization is creating more structure for my kids. I have everything ready before they wake, so we're not fighting before school. The best part is I'm feeling more energy, so I'm walking the dog, actually wanting to play with my kids outside, and my libido came back! lol Unfortunately, it didn't take away my anxiety and irritability as much as Vyvanse did. Only side effects I've noticed: I need to up my fiber intake, and I have dry mouth (water bottle in purse, gum, and a fluoride mouthwash to keep my teeth healthy - these things seem to work great). The first 2 days at night, I felt so cold, it took me a while to fall asleep, and I couldn't stop scratching my scalp - so weird! Other than that, it's working great!"

For ADHD "I was prescribed 30 mg XR of Adderall plus 20 mg tabs per day, my doctor switched me to one 25 mg Mydayis, and it was horrible... well, it was horrible because technically it was a very dramatic decrease in dose. After a week of being down, tired, foggy, and emotional, I called my doctor to increase. I honestly think 50 mg of Mydayis is comparable to 30 mg XR Adderall, but lasts longer."

For ADHD "Previously was on Adderall XR (70 mg) and noticed it stopped working as effectively. Doctor changed my script to Mydayis (2/37.5's a day). If I compare them to chocolate...Adderall is Hershey's and Mydayis is Godiva. It takes a bit to kick in...but once it does, I am so focused on what's in front of me. Side effects are minimal compared to how it helps me operate daily in life. With Adderall I felt a 'rush' using it. With Mydayis, no rush, it's a smooth transition. On Adderall, I couldn't get out of bed on my rest days, and on Mydayis I'm a little slower on off days, but not much - just not as much focus of course. I have to pay more for Mydayis. $50 a month compared to $15. It's worth it for me."

For ADHD "I tried this medication at a slightly lower dose a few years ago, and it didn't seem to work well for me. But Adderall does not work at all by itself, and Vyvanse only seems to last a few hours now, even at 60 or 70 mg. I have basically been on it for over 10 years. Since there has been a shortage of off-brand Vyvanse and insurance will not cover the on-brand, my psychiatrist recommended I give this one more shot. He put me on 50 mg, and I'm really glad that I tried it again. Today was my first day on it, and it did take a while to kick in so that is something I will be aware of tomorrow. One thing I have noticed is that once it kicked in, I have had a nice steady energy and good mood, and it is after 5:00 p.m. My Vyvanse would have worn off well before now and just wasn't really working for me anymore. I am starting to think it was contributing to my very low mood that I have had for about 6 months now and crankiness and anxiety, too. I'm glad I tried this out again! It's smooth."

For ADHD "I received Mydayis 25 mg 2.5 months ago for severe combined type ADHD (also started Lamictal at that time). After taking the 25 mg dose for 2 months, I was not impressed. Mydayis seemed to work OK when beginning Lamictal, but the effects declined as the Lamictal titration from 25 mg to 200 mg maintenance dose. The benefit of Mydayis was increased alertness on the morning commute to work and a general calming. My focus and concentration remained impaired. The Dr bumped Mydayis to 37.5 mg and feel calmer and less impulsive, and alertness is increased to the point of insomnia. No relief of concentration or problems forgetting things, losing items, etc. In fact, I feel quite depressed and drugged."

For ADHD "I've recently switched from Adderall (the generic version) to Mydayis for my ADHD and have been noticing really intense dehydration about 3-4 hours after I take it. I'm shaky, feel nauseous, I have 'the runs,' and I also feel like I get easily distracted... all of the time! Like now. I'm literally supposed to be working, lol, and I started researching Mydayis side effects. I thankfully have my doctor on Wednesday, so I think I'll be switching back to my generic Adderall. I was very happy on that and got dehydrated on that as well, but I would just drink water and be fine. Now I feel like I'm drinking all of the water/electrolytes in the world and still feel awful. I really wanted to like this medication, but I think it's not worth it, actually :("

For ADHD "Taking 25 mg takes 2 hours to kick in. Also take with Pristiq 100 mg. I feel tired at midday. So it does work, but no real motivation like Adderall gives you. I will increase to 37.5 mg and stick with it for a few months. Adderall XR seems to be up and down but is more potent. No big crash, but fatigue on this med is a problem."

For ADHD "Mydayis has been life-changing for me. I’ve suffered from racing thoughts and anxiety since childhood and have tried everything imaginable (meds, weekly therapy, dietary restrictions, lifestyle changes). I’m on 25 mgs, and I have plenty of energy but am relaxed and can organize my thoughts without constant anxiety."
