Greetings!
I was diagnosed a few months back and I’ve gotten on Vyvance 20mg to great effect. I’m not perfect, but much better.
However I do find that my focus wanes in the evening when I want to kick back and practice a hobby like drawing or music, I can’t sit down and just do it.
If anyone has advice or experience that might help, I’d be very grateful.
The Vyvance comes in powder filled capsules. Internet says you can subdivide them. But I wouldn’t without docs approval.
You could but you don’t know the density that it’s packed in. It would be difficult to try and halve them evenly. You would have to get a precise scale and it’s really not worth it. I’d recommend maybe 5 or 10mg if you can get it and it’s up to you and your do whether to reduce the first dose or just add this booster in top for an extra wave. Probably take 6-8 hours after your first dose? But it depends on when you get the crash. Everyone is different.
That’s really not a lot considering the high end of doses so hopefully your doc will be responsive and it works for you!
Edit: also, I don’t know the climate where you are but with first visit to a doc maybe be cautious asking for more directly since they’re controlled. Maybe it’s my paranoia but I know I’m lucky. Just emphasize the crash. Say you’re not able to stay focused throughout the day long enough to complete your daily activities/work (assuming that’s true).
I wouldn’t call mine experience a crash, more so my ability to focus starts to slip around 3pm and by the time it’s 7 or so I have real difficulty sitting down to enjoy any past times that take practice.
