Ironically enough I used to take Vyvanse (70mg) and Wellbutrin (150mg) daily for about 3 years. I like how Vyvanse affects me more, but the side effects were awful. I'd get about 45min of sleep a day and have hardly any food. I was like 6 foot 3 and 150lbs so it wasn't cutting it for me. Love my Wellbutrin though! Plus, as I stated somewhere else here, my insurance is awful and a bottle of 30 70mg Vyvanse cost me about $340.

You needed a smaller dose of Vyvanse for sure! All of that went away when I lowered, lost some productivity though... :(

Fully understandable. I am a larger guy, so the calorie reduction is a good thing in my case. 6' , 300lbs @ 40mg. I did notice a sensitivity to increasing dosages. And yeah, the Vyvanse is really fucking expensive. With the discount program, I pay $40 a month, but who knows when that will run out.

Sorry it didn't work for you.

Keep strong, internet friend. You are not alone.
