Stimulants definitely calm me...and every antidepressant I've ever taken made me more depressed. I am, so far, enjoying and appreciating Vyvanse very much.

Lexi, when you see the doctor, if he/she should happen to prescribe Vyvance, ask about the 50% off co-pay - Vyvance's Savings Card. My doctor gave me a card and I've already had a $25 co-pay cut to $12, which is significant to me.

Good luck! Nobody understands any better than I do how it feels to be misdiagnosed and told ridiculous things like "adults don't get ADHD". I had a doctor tell me I couldn't possibly have ADD because I was "well groomed" - ADD people are bums in the street according to this guy. Another doctor said I couldn't have ADD because I went to college.

It's kinda' scary how little so many healthcare professionals know about mental health issues.
