Has anyone with ADD tried both Adderall and Vyvanse? Which one did you like bett!
Question: I currently take Vyvanse and even though it's supposed to last all day, it seems to poop out around mid-afternoon and I work very long hours (8:00am - 4:30pm at one job and then 5:00 - 9:30 at another job) most days. That's why the doctor prescribed Vyvanse as opposed to Adderall to begin with.
Also, since I like the Vyvanse (don't get me wrong here!), do you think it would be possible for my doctor to keep me on the Vyvanse and then also prescribe a short acting pill, such as Adderall IR, for later in the afternoon/early evening? Has anyone else's doctor done something like this?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Responses vary a lot.
There are aspects of all meds used for ADHD which include things like: predictability, fickleness/med being imperfect (aka not working exactly as hoped for), tolerance, etc. Good luck.
