I take 30mg of Vyvanse at 6am, 20mg at 11am ,20 mg at 3pm and if needed, I am prescribed a booster of IR Adderall 10 mg and I take that around 5pm. I still have trouble with my EDS. I am just thankful that I found a doctor who listens to me and doesn't dismiss my symptoms and concerns that were in the past by a few doctors.

It's okay. Do you have adhd also? I think Adderall gave me more "energy" but the Vyvanse helps more with my adhd symptoms. But it's definitely worth a shot! Good luck 💜
