I'm no doctor so I can't really tell you what to do. I was just diagnosed with ADHD. I see my pdoc for medications on Thursday. I, too am wondering if stimulants are the right choice for me as I had one short trial on Ritalin IR which made me anxious and jittery. From what I have read, the stimulants all have different durations of effectiveness and windows of therapeutic response. Vyvance may affect you in a better way and maybe your doctor is hoping for this. I say listen to your doctor's advice and see if it works for you.
Best wishes!
