I would suggest not trying Vyvanse. Amphetamines provide a rush of energy and euphoric effect that makes almost
anything interesting, but this is all very short term. After a couple weeks, you will most likely lose any euphoria or increased energy that you once experienced. I have been on Vyvanse for 3 months due to inattentive ADD, and it has worked well for my focus, but if anything, it has made me more depressed.
Depression and anxiety are very very common for long term amphetamine use, so it is not reasonable to use them for this purpose. Additionally, Vyvanse is a schedule II drug, so it is very unlikely that you obtain a prescription for this reason. Doctors rarely prescribe amphetamines for anything other than ADHD or narcolepsy (not saying it
never happens, but it's unlikely).
I hope you can figure something out! I just began Lexapro with Vyvanse, and I'm seeing some slight improvement after just a week (probably just the placebo effect so far...)
