Just started taking Lisdexamfetamine 10mg Capsules for my ADHD, and I wanted to share my experience so far. I've been on it for about a month, and I've noticed some improvements in my focus and ability to stay on task. However, I've also experienced some side effects like anxiety and trouble sleeping. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I'd love to hear from others who have tried this medication. Also, if you have any tips for managing the side effects, please share!

I've been on Lisdexamfetamine for a few years now, and it's been a game-changer for me. I started with 10mg and gradually moved up to 30mg. The side effects were tough at first, but they eventually subsided. Stick with it, and if the side effects are getting too bad, make sure to talk to your doctor! maybe they can adjust the dose or try something else.

I was really worried about the side effects, but I've mainly just experienced a decreased appetite and some dry mouth. It's manageable, and the benefits for my focus and inattention have been worth it.

I felt jittery and had a hard time sleeping, but I found that taking it earlier in the day helped. Also, make sure you're eating enough and staying hydrated, as those can exacerbate side effects.

I've been on Lisdexamfetamine for a while now and it's been a game-changer for me. I still have some impulsivity, but it's manageable. I can handle it with some mindfulness, my therapist, and a low dose of this med. Just wish I'd found it sooner!

Same here, it's definitely a life-changer for me but the first week was rough. Also had to switch from the capsule to the chewable because swallowing them was tough. Hoping they come up with a drinkable or IV version soon!

Lisdexamfetamine has been a lifesaver for my Binge Eating Disorder. I was really skeptical at first, but it's helped me get my life back on track. I'm so glad I gave it a shot. Fingers crossed my insurance keeps covering it.

If you're taking Lisdexamfetamine, you need to be careful with certain over-the-counter drugs and supplements. I learned the hard way when I combined it with St. John's Wort for a cold and ended up with serotonin syndrome. Scary stuff!
