For ADHD "I started taking Adderall XR 19 years ago and it changed my life. First, the FDA restricted the dose to 60mg. That was rough, but I lived, just never as well. Then it went generic and the generics were never as good. Shire even cheapened up their brand name of Adderall XR so they could push Vyvanse. Vyvanse was terrible for me. I metabolize quickly and it would be gone in a couple of hours. Back to generic Adderall XR and try to find the better manufacturers if I could. Note the shortage and the withdrawal of cold turkey after nearly two decades. Being a chronic pain patient I am used to suffering from crises that bad doctors and drug companies create. After three months I get approved for Mydayis and I was so excited thinking it would be like the brand name Adderall again. Boy was I wrong. It’s more like long-acting Vyvanse. I went from 60mg Adderall XR to 50 mg Mydayis and I’m miserable. It’s so weak in comparison and it’s just like a background vibration, discomfort, zombification."

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 nausea, 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 Dr 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 "10 days into Mydayis. I have no appetite even in the am before I take the Mydayis, 50mg. I have to force feed myself, even ice cream is a struggle after the 3rd bite. After I take it I feel lost, can't track conversations, no/minimal recall, I can't even prioritize. My production at work is half of what it was when I was on Vyvanse 60mg. I don't have any motivation. I want to do things I just can't. All the feelings of being lazy, feeling bad about myself, dispair and no motivation have come back. I feel agitated and feel that I get angry much faster. My anxiety is worse than it was when I was in Vyvanse. I am constantly bouncing 1 or both of my legs and only bounced them a little when I was on Vyvanse. I am calling my Dr 1st thing in the morning and I hope that she puts me back on Vyvanse. There is a shortage of Adderall and Vyvanse right now so I am hoping I can get it. While Mydayis is only about $3 a month, it isn't worth the savings."

For ADHD "I’ve been on this medication (25mg) for a few weeks didn’t notice it kick in till a few hours after taking it. Felt nervous and anxious most of the day had no appetite. Felt like I was going to cry all the time and just depressed."

For ADHD "Taking 25mg takes 2 hours to kick in. Also take with pristiq 100mg. I feel tired at mid day. So it does work, but no real motivation like adderall gives you. I will increase to 37.5mg and stick with it for a few months. Adderall XR seems to be to 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 25mgs and I have plenty of energy, but am relaxed and can organize my thoughts without constant anxiety."

For ADHD "I was on Vyvanse 50 mg for Bulimia, it stopped the binge eating however I could never fall asleep not even with a sleeping pill and I always felt so very depressed in the late afternoon, my doctor told me about Mydayis , I switched to Mydayis 25mg which works even better!!! I get a good nights sleep without a sleeping pill. The only side effect is dry mouth and an occasional headache If I wait too late to take it. Its always best to take it early in the morning, I take mine at 6 am, I still have remained free from any binge eating episodes. Thankful for this medication!"

For ADHD "I wanted this medication to work because I often forget to take my second generic adderral dose on time. However, Mydayis is not the wonder drug I wanted it to be. It takes up to 2 hours to kick in (something they hide in the facts) and even though I "worked" this drawback by waking up earlier to take it there wasn't enough positives to keep me taking it past week four. It lasted about 6 hours before it quickly declined and leaving me with even worse ADD symptoms. It was so bad I couldn't have a conversation or focus enough to make dinner without skipping into laundry, cleaning, or some other distractions. Without the use of any medication I have never had symptoms this bad. If this wasn't bad enough I had horrible nausea and indigestion."

For ADHD "I love Mydayis. It lasts long enough for me to do regular work and school work in the evenings without crashing. I can't think of any negative side effects that I experienced that aren't average for ADHD meds. Overall great. However, the generic is trash. Does not work at all."

For ADHD "Taking 37.5mg for a few months. Previously on 70mg Vyvanse + afternoon boost Good: Slows down my racing thoughts Focused for a few hours Low appetite- def can lose a few :) Not Good: (v=same as Vyvanse) I think my eyesight is affected - v Dizziness periodically - v Increased BP - v Nail biting Jaw clenching - v Sweating This med is going to be like all the others out there. Good for some people and not good for others. With any med if the side affects overshadow the benefits then it isn’t for you. Mydayis works like Vyvanse but initially didn’t need the boost. When I take it at 6am, I have to get right up and move around or I’ll go into a deep sleep and wake up 1-2 hrs late for everything! I still can’t figure out if caffeine helps or hinders it. I’m going to give it a few more months to see if I need to increase or go back to Vyvanse + boost. All of these meds should be accessible. No one should have to change just because of cost IMO"

For ADHD "Switched to this because Vyvanse 70mg was wearing off too soon (I take my meds around 6am and it would wear off by 1-2pm). It's been about 2 weeks now and I'm depressed, grouchy, and accomplish nothing in the morning until about 10am when I am almost overly focused. I feel moody, more overwhelmed than normal, and it does not have the calming effect on me like Vyvanse did. I'm going back to Vyvanse for sure and going to ask about an afternoon pill to get me through those last couple of hours of work."

For ADHD "I'm making this review one year after trying Mydayis for only a week. I switched to this drug from Adderall IR 20's BID to the 37mg capsule, you don't really think your buzzing, but you indeed are, and more so than with Adderall for the same dose. What prompted me to write this review was that I noticed someone else who reviewed this mentioned that they would be returning the bottle to the pharmacy because they didn't want insurance to think they were keeping it. This is an effect of the drug, I too, even though I bought it on the $5 coupon, did not want the pharmacy (who does not care) to think that I wanted to keep this drug so I returned the remaining 23 capsules to them. It works well, puts you in a different state of mind, and doesn't provide the sense well being of some other ADHD products offer, but it does work better than some generics. Perhaps give this a try if you're on generics that don't work. It is pretty strong, but doesn't feel like it. if that makes sense."

For ADHD "Taking 25mg right now and was on adderall XR 30mg. I don't understand this medicine since it usually makes me tired and down for about 2-3 hours after taking it then get an okay amount of focus for another 6-8 hours. I personally can't deal with those 3 hours everyday when I need to be productive so I will try something else. This drug may be very similar to the chemicals in adderall but it definitely does not feel like it."

For ADHD "Meh. I was on Vyvanse, 70 mg/day & switched to Mydayis 25 mg/day. NOT what I was hoping for. Not by a Long Shot. While it "lasts longer" than VYVANSE (was on Vyvanse for years) which only gave me about 5/6 hours in the end, it gives me MUCH LESS motivation. Makes me depressed. I'm Very Sorry I did not only get Only a 2 week supply rather than 1 month. I have no insurance & it was about $100 more than Vyvanse. Needless to say, I will request Vyvanse again at my next appt. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT."

For ADHD "started 25mg mydayis about three weeks ago. Was on 30mg vyvanse. Vyvanse was good but it took two hours to kick in and wore off about 5-6 hours after it kicked in for me. ( I am likely a fast metabolizer) I am now feeling lazy, a little depressed, and I am eating more food. I can not tell when it hits or wears off. Doesn’t feel like it’s doing much. Maybe my dose was too low? Not sure if I will try a higher dose or change back to Vyvanse. Wish I know how to compare dosages between Vyvanse and Mydayis."

For ADHD "I was prescribed 50 mg. 1st day I could literally feel the release of the medication. During the lag of the release I would get headaches, become tired, irritable and frustrated with every situation and conversation. By evening time I couldn't carry a conversation without forgetting prior known facts. Saturday ,I was completely not myself. On top of how I felt Friday I was emotional, had down thoughts, I couldn't follow a time line: I was late for everything. Sunday seemed to be better but not by much. Monday..horrible it was like I added Friday and Saturday symptoms together then add in horrible chest pain, shortness of breath, constant feeling of about to faint, fever, flu symptoms, hot/cold, exhausted but not able to sleep, & more symptoms. I refuse to take another dose"

For ADHD "Worst side effects ever. I switched to mydayis 37.5mgs once a day after several years of taking Adderall XR 30mgs twice a day. The first week I felt disoriented and every time I went to bed all my muscles felt VERY sore, especially my legs. It felt like I had run 20 miles and every time I moved the soreness woke me up. Then, one night when trying to fall asleep I heard voices, it was the sound of many people talking, like if I was at a very crowded restaurant. After that, I stopped taking this medication for my own safety. I’ve never had side effects with adderall other than feeling some anxiety when I forget to eat."

For ADHD "I’ve been taking meds for ADHD/ADD close to 8 years now. Tried Adderall at many dosages, types and amount of times per day over a period of many years. My biggest issue. I forgot to take them. Tried Vyvanse. It helped but I got nauseous, dizzy every day. Tried Adderall again and forgot to take them. One day my doctor mentioned Mydayis. I wouldn’t have to remember taking more than one in the AM. After a week I could tell that it was helpful but wasn’t able to tell if a BIG difference. I ran out due to scheduling once & my brain went into hyper drive. I hadn’t felt that chaotic for awhile. WHILE talking to my doctor she legit wrote out the prescription, handed it to me. ‘go fill it NOW.’ Even had others asking how long I would be without it. It was clear it helped at that point. I don’t notice any side effects. My results with Mydayis are pretty good. No worries of forgetting it, which was the major factor in my switch."

For ADHD "Switched from vyvanse. Insurance wouldn't cover and $300+ a month was unsustainable. $3 was much nicer, but with the side effects I'm having it's not worth it. I was under the impression that this was the same/similar to vyvanse with a different release method, but I'm not feeling more productive at all, if anything less. What really sucks is a low constant headache and random body/joint aches. After reading other reviews I'll be requesting to swap to something else. Ty other person with same reactions, it made me feel better that it wasn't just me."

For ADHD "Whats throwing me off is seeing many experiences saying they couldn’t feel Mydayis working for 4+ hours. it starts off with a small instant release so I do feel mine working right away. Side effects are different for everyone, but for comparison purposes: Adderrall XR 30 mg worked 6-7 hours, then sleepiness & a hard coming down/depressed feeling, loss of appetite, calming effect - helped rationalize my emotions effectively. Mydayis: 12 hrs, still feel working within first 30-60 mins like adderrall, my appetite came BACK with this, no coming down feeling, but the overall effectiveness of helping with focusing sometimes isn’t as much. I’ve thought about increasing but I’d like to see about therapy for self management or at least a low dose. The doc also said if this dose doesn’t work as well that we’d switch to Vyvanse, which is one I haven’t tried so I’m afraid to switch. Overall this one has worked best for me, but I am looking at healthier avenues in the near future."

For ADHD "Mydayis is the most horrid drug I have ever experienced. It is definitely very long acting and in fact, one capsule kept me awake for 4 days. During that time, I paced and picked at my skin compulsively, experienced changes in vision, (blurred vision and extreme sensitivity to light/dark and very high color saturation), severe mood fluctuations, weight loss, and side effects that affected my skin: uncontrolled itching, painful rashes, peeling of the skin on fingers and toes - as if it were an acid burn. The peeling continues to spread and I cannot put my hand in hot water because it feels like it is on fire. Do not take this drug. It is a toxic poison and I fear that it will cause a great deal of harm to many people. Do not take this drug. It is terrible."

For ADHD "I loved it at first! Because it gave me the concentration I needed without a lot of the side effects. Also it lasted all day, but still leg me sleep. But I keep building a tolerance and now I'm on 37.5mg. One thing I really didn't like was how hard it was to get it. It is a relatively new drug that is in high demand so I've run into some shortages."

For ADHD "I started on Mydayis 37.5mg 12/09/2017. Previously, I took Adderoll X-R 60mg daily. Adderoll was working fine except the big drawback was I’d crash and have no focus after three o’clock in the afternoon. This would lead me into a vicious cycle of wanting another Adderoll just to be productive. At the end of the month, I’d run short of my Adderoll and go “in a tank”. This infuriated my husband because he didn’t understand what I was going through. Since I was tired of this cycle month after month (my FNP would not increase my dose) , I did some research and found out about Mydayis. I am taking 50mg now and it’s been a game changer. No more crashes! I did feel depressed the 2nd week but it passed. I’m really happy I found this medication."

For ADHD "Crippling ADHD (inattentive) is what I have. I've struggled in life, and I went through a few medications before Mydayis. This works, and it works damn well. 25mg. I recommend this NAME BRAND for those who find themselves unable to focus on activities they actually enjoy, but distractions still get in the way. When you can't help but find yourself spending an hour scrolling on your phone, despite not even wanting to do that much. I do NOT RECOMMEND using generic Mydayis if you fit the above description. It is not anywhere near the same strength. Mydayis is strong medicine. A powerful drug. The main side effects are a lack of hunger for me. It's not so bad, as long as I track what I've eaten that day and decide I need to eat. Weight loss is a plus for some. It is not recommended from my experience to take this with high amounts of caffeine. A small cup of coffee is the most I can recommend as the jitters are easier to get. Can't have powerful medicine without strong effects."

For ADHD "Never had so many thoughts really down thoughts as I did well on this medication. Also, daily dosage only lasted 4-6 hours before effect decreased rapidly. Generic Adderall lasts longer with no downers. This one was not the godsend I had hoped it would be."
