Sharing my account as a fellow ADHDer that cycled through some drugs.
I ended up with 30mg Elvanse (European analog of Vyvanse). That’s minimum dosage possible: I was prescribed higher before but side effects made it uncomfortable.
Alternatives that didn’t work:
- Dextroamphetamine pills, immediate release: short effect, jittery, pronounced crash
- Ritalin: feeling of being overstimulated and uncomfortable, inability to focus
- Strattera: closer to an antidepressant, sexual side effects (no pleasure when ejaculating), brain zaps
