    I've been on it for only 4 days and it has already made a huge difference. I can finally focus and do things i enjoy without getting bored easily or daydream. It has also helped with my tiredness throughout the day.

    Vyvanse has been incredibly helpful to me in staying focused and it really Helps me buckle down when I have things I don’t want to do. Procrastinating isn’t really a thing whenever I take it. Only downside is When you start taking it you have to learn how to for yourself to eat. Loss of appetite is the only downside.
