"I have been taking Azstarys for 3 months, and I was on Concerta for a year before starting this new medication. I experienced Serotonin Syndrome on Concerta and was having really bad heart palpitations, so my doctor prescribed Azstarys. My palpitations have gone away, and I do not sweat as excessively as before, although I still do feel the effects of Azstarys in the form of sleepiness for the first couple of hours and then improved concentration throughout the day. I am also taking Vilazodone in combination, which has improved my mood levels substantially. I would say Azstarys is well worth trying regardless of the noted side effects. I, for one, have not had any serious side effects from Azstarys since I started and prefer it over the other 3 ADHD medications I have tried in the past couple of years."

"I've been taking Azstarys since November 2023. I tried all doses and settled on the lowest before deciding to stop. The first day was amazing, the first week felt like a godsend. Then things changed. I noticed hypersexuality, followed by numbness in my fingers and toes. My health check showed no heart or other issues, so I continued. Then came afternoon anger issues. My doctor prescribed Lexapro for the aggression, but it didn't help. Exercise, a proper diet, and talking to a therapist were most effective. The drug created anger issues I never had before. I became short-tempered and said horrible things over small issues, which wasn’t normal for me. Most issues subsided, but the anger stayed, and the drug no longer helps my ADHD and had to stop using it this week."

"Initially, the medication was great. I felt focused and could function normally for the first time ever. However, after a few months, I started experiencing a racing heart and hypersexuality, followed by anger and agitation. I would explode over the smallest things. The doctor tried different doses to minimize the afternoon crash. It helped at first, but I still couldn't get past the agitation and anger. In the morning, the medication is effective, but by the afternoon, it's horrible. It's like Jekyll and Hyde – It's wonderful in the morning and all is great, but by afternoon, I'm angry and short-tempered. I think it's time to try another approach and stop taking this drug."

"I want to recommend this medication, but in my case, the ratio is all wrong. The IR component is super strong, leading to an early buzz effect that feels very unnatural. The prodrug is too weak and extends for too long into the evening. All in all, it is not so workable. None of the dosing options drop the IR ratio low enough to work for me. There is also a bothersome lag between the decline of the IR and the onset of the ER. Overall, it wasn't worth it. I do think it could be useful for some people."

"Switched to this over Vyvanse. Much better. Quick onset, lasts all day. No appetite issues like Vyvanse. I'm switching to Azstarys for good."

"I like Azstarys more than Concerta, and I've been on Concerta for years. I've been on Azstarys for more than 6-7 months, and I don't notice a comedown."

"Works great, no crash in the afternoon. I much prefer this over Concerta or Adderall, for me it’s a miracle drug."

"Not great at all. Started at mid dose, get nothing but stayed on for one month. At one month check-up, PA prescribed highest dose. Only a little more effects and I felt flat. Disappointed."

"Been on med for one year. I like it because I’m on the lowest dose. I can focus and eat. Big difference in attitude. No side effects so far, just tired if off for a day."
