ADHD Meds & Sudden Chronic onset of Forgetfulness!

anything i can do that you know of that would make me not so forgetful? I may post this question more in detail on the med board or the adhd board just because i think its due to my adhd med..

I was just wondering what makes ADHD stimulant meds work great.. then suddenly turn on you and it's never the same length of time. And then suddenly your getting forgetful all the time?

Like I was on dexedrine a REALLY long time ago (about 2008-early 2009) and was only on it for 4 months or so, and it was great worked perfect.. Then suddenly I would start forgeting what i was saying WHILE i was saying it.. Or i would forget what I was going to do (something i do common off of the meds anyways lol!), or just forgetting and not remembering alot of things!!
My pdoc had a !!! reaction when i told him that and he quickly grabed the script pad and said "yeah we need to get you off of that, right now! have you ever tried vyvanse before?" and no i didn't so he placed me on that.. I could never figure out why he had such a "OMG!!! OH NOES!!!" kind of reaction over it. then I brought it up to my past and sorta most recent (i dont see her, but i go in for scripts until the centerstone place here can get me into see the pdoc with them)pdoc and she was like " o.o! Yeah that's not good. So how's vyvanse working for you? Its not doing that is it?" but NO ONE WILL TELL ME WHY THEY ARE SO FREAKED OUT OVER IT!? I mean.. it's like "I know it's bad.. but is it really THAT bad?!" and why IS IT THAT bad?

And well.. Now... over the past month I've really noticed it.. I can't remember if I had it before and just didn't realize it yet or not. But now i'm on Vyvanse. was on 30mg, and it wasn't working cause i was on 50mg before i got dropped to 30mg. then one day i accidentally took two 30's because i forgot i took the other one. and so i got 60mg in my system that day.. and it worked about 98% like it should where 30mg was working barely even 5% like it should. so the pdoc wrote scripts for 40mg. T.T as you may guess after i told them and tried to make my case over the 60 working and how i was on 50 before i was dropped to 30, I was very discontented! (if thats a word lol!). Anyways so now i'm 40mg. works about 0-42% like it should (0 being the past few weeks because everything i take, it just comes right back up (having colon problems due to crohns and .. well.. you know... the whole.. erm.. bathroom.. situation...of.. um.. not going.. lol!)) anyways today was the first day in a few weeks that i was able to really keep it and the rest of my meds down (the only mental med is vyvanse. the rest is physical meds for crohns and nausea and such).
But lately I've noticed a lot that i'm being very forgetful and its getting downRIGHT annoying!! I go out to tell someone something in the living room, and i get to my door to open it and i have already forgotten. i dont forget things like i do if i'm off of it, like my keys and lock myself out, or my keys AND my mail that i'm mailing off so i cant even put the mail in the mailbox but am also stuck outside waiting at the door for someone to wake up or come home from work. or i dont forget to wash my hair when i got in the shower to wash my hair. lol!
But i'm still forgetting a lot, and its things that i normally dont forget even off of the meds. it's better than not taking the med at all (cause lets face it, without it i'm up a creek because i forget more than things of in my mind like thoughts and talking and doing things. but i ACTUALLY FORGET things that i NEED to move on in the day such as forgetting my purse at home when i'm in the store shopping, or forgeting the keys, and calculator for the math test. Things like that is what i forget usually off of the med. but now i'm forgeting things like what im saying while im saying it, and what i was going to do, or search online, or cook, or why i went in somewhere from my room, or forget what i was thinking about while i was thinking on it. This is happening so frequently, (atleast 3 times an HOUR) and has been happening for such a long period of time (atleast a month now), that my brain has kind of recoped with it by not stressing out over it all the time now, and putting in measures like jotting down notes when i remember it so i can look at it later even i dont remember even making the note to begin with.

Why do ADHD meds do this to me!? i've been on vyvanse since early 2009 and stoped for a bit in dec 2010 to August 2011 due to having to find a pdoc 'cause mine quit.
I also am having a bit of trouble focusing due to this. (and i leave words out when i'm typing. I've had a simular problem when i'm not on the adhd meds where I will write CANT for CAN and CAN for CANT and such but never really leaving words out before. (which really got me into trouble once with the T when i wrote "but i do want to ___(left out cause could be a trigger)___ though." when I meant and thought i wrote "dont" instead of "Do" lol.. but i'm doing something also where I repeat words and dont realize it even when I reread stuff. (Same thing happens when i reread notes i wrote to T's, I dont see it. I see what i meant to write). and things also come out like "I went outside AND AND the cats were out there, they were so cute and one of them purred while THE THE baby meowed" kind of thing. of course they aren't caps and i only occationally catch it even when i reread it. But that was something i used to do even off the med (that doubling up words thing) but with the ADHD meds i usually dont have that problem. and i'm having it worse than I do when im off the med. Then i repeat myself because I dont remember that I said things. which really get on peoples nerves too.. :/ and then im afraid to talk at all..

Stoping adhd meds isn't really an option right now, because without them i have impulses in so many diffrent things that is bad for me. And I do it all before I know i did it.
And also the adhd med helps me not take things personally when someone is mad, and treating me ... not nicely. And i also can just shrug it off and go my own way. things dont phase me so extremely as they do when im not on it.
Its still has more gain to it, than if i was off of it. But im wondering what makes these meds do this to me and no real connection to it happening other than the forgetfull ness is the only common. no same period of time, or dose... or anything that i can really tell.
And also why my past two pdocs (And the only ones ive had since i've been on adhd meds again- i dont remember anything about when i was a toddler and kid and preteen on the adhd meds other than i cried a lot and felt generally bad, and sick. But i was told that was likely due to i was on liquid doses and i wasn't getting the same dose every time. i wasn't on adhd meds all my life, just a period of weeks at a time about five times through my life due to the court ordering my guardians(grandparents/now adopted parents) to do it. and it was only the past few years that I was place back on them and realized how much it helped, and been on them ever since. I've only been on stimulant adhd meds even as growing up. But why do the pdocs i've had get all shocked and big time worried and instant change of med when this happens, is it really that bad of a thing? and if so, why is it that bad of a thing? what does it mean?

(And i was supose to be starting a non stimulant with my stimulant in september 2011 but due to a pdoc change that never happened. because i have both adhd/add, and they felt since adhd was my primary problem right now to work with the stimulants and then later which would be septemeber, they would add a non stimulant in the mix to see if it helped with the add symptoms ive had (through life and hormones and chemicals in the brain i have widely went to one extreme to the other, and some short periods only having one side of the diagnoses (only two times in my life that i know of, thats when i hit puberty(7.5yrs old) at first and had all ADD and no ADHD, then just a few years ago (im 24, turning 25 next month) I hit the all ADHD and no ADD .. now it's 95% ADHD and 5% ADD. )

(I know the disclaimers and all about how i have to talk to my real life doc and all, and that your not held responsible for the accuracy of your replies, but i'm wondering from your opinion, and knowing what I'm about to say... If you had a patient like this, what would you do? and what would you put them on next?
- knowing this: I have never been on non stimulants, and i've been on Ritalin (as a child and once after 18yr but the fda stoped that, and it worked at 30mg three times daily), then i was told i was on adderall when i was a kid and thats what made me cry and was "bad" for me as my parents said, and even tried to fight with me a few months back about it in the pdoc office when i had been on my own doing having sessions on my OWN in a totally diffrent state from them for many years now! so.. i dont know if i should count that in to the mix or just count it as another one of my parent's deluisons (its true.. the parent im talking about is a narcassitic sociopath.. along with soemthing else i cant remember but it has to do with delusional thinking, and they dont see they have it, and they cant be reasoned with. ect...), anyways, and i've been on Dexedrine that worked for a bit on one of the lowest doses for just in the mornings. Then I've been on Vyvanse which works at the right dose. (just not usually as long as it should, it stops working around 4-6 hours, then completly leaves my system between 22-25hours from when i took it, and it takes about an hour and 30 mins for it to kick in, after i take it. I've taken 30mg, 40mg, 50mg, and by accident 60mg of it before. )

O_O!! I'M REALLY SORRY THIS IS SO LONG!!
