Simcha, well, you know my situation by now. I take Wellbutrin and Vyvanse.

Vyvanse is the first stimulant I have ever taken. It is a pro-drug that is metabolized in the body to the same active ingredient as Adderall: d-amphetamine. Because it isn't active until metabolized, it doesn't give one the immediate jolt or buzz that some stimulants do, and is therefore less appealing as a street drug and less prone to abuse. It is very "smooth" as you go onto it each day, gradually exerting its stimulant effects. I am very happy with its positive effects. For me, it has no negative side effects at all, except for some insomnia when I first started on it, or if I take it too late in the day. I take one 30 mg capsule in the morning and it lasts all day due to its gradual metabolism to active form. I have a feeling you would be at a higher dose based on how much of the dexedrine you take.

Why don't you like the dexedrine?

Only bad thing about Vyvanse: it is relatively new so not in generics yet. With insurance, it costs me about $35/month. Without insurance, it is closer to $150/month. If you go to the Vyvanse website, you can get a coupon for $50 off your first prescription.
