How do you handle your ADHD?

[blacknite]

Hello all, been awhile since Ive been on the forums.

I have had ADHD since I was a kid and as a high schooler it's starting to get to me. Ive tried a few different medications but they change me. The one Im on now (Vyvanse) is making me not care for life or my future along with mood swings and depression.

My question:
How old are you?
What meds do you take for ADD/ADHD?
What side effects do you notice?
Would you suggest asking a doctor for these meds in replace of Vyvanse

Yes... Vyvanse fucked me up.

Adderall actually helps with my depression, oddly enough. I didn't take it today because I forgot and I've felt like a bigger piece of shit than I usually do, and usually when I'm on Adderall, the depressive feeling goes away after awhile.
