I went through college without it. I struggled so hard, tried so hard, I was so lucky to graduate with a shit gpa. Come home, see a doc, worked over time to get a medicine and dosage that worked, and it's like night and day. I feel like my brain works now.
Make the jump from adderall to vyvanse, it's a godsend!!! The way the medicine metabolizes is much smoother and less of the side effects than typical amphetamine salts
All things to discuss with your psychiatrist. Sometimes there are misdiagnosis, especially since these disorders often overlap in symptoms (bipolar for example). It may be that the medicine is exacerbating cluster B personality disorders which you should bring light to the doctor. I am not a doctor and do not want to give anyone false information nor will I tout my degree in neurobiology and offer ill-advice. I just want to express my experience with what I feel as a miracle pill that has worked wonders for me. These medicines are designed as tools for us to utilize under proper guidance and care from our doctors and if one doesn't work, opt for another. I hope you have/find a medication regime that best suits you needs!
