Hypersomnia – My Diary – Day 18: Review Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine) / Self Update
Approved in the USA – 2008, Lisdexamfetamine, also known as Vyvanse, is another popular and better option to Adderall or Dexedrine for managing hypersomnia symptoms. Today, I will discuss the drug’s general information, its mechanism of action, differences with other drugs, reported positive and negative effects, as well as actual feedback from patients who have used it.
After the Vyvanse briefing I update you on how I feel on day 18,, if any symptoms still persist, and how the milligrams of Adderall have affected my overall mood.

*CORRECTION NOTICEAt 1: 15 I noted that in 1960 it was reported a racemic mixture of amphetamine could be used to control ADHD symptoms. However, I stated that it was approved by FDA for treatment of ADHD in 1996.. The treatment of ADHD in 1996. was approved by the FDA. However, it was approved in a 3:1 ratio between the d- and l-isomers (as I explain at 3 15 in this video), and not the racemic mixture in the 1960 research.

Note: This video does not constitute medical advice. Stopping psychiatric drugs, especially abruptly, can be dangerous, as withdrawal effects may be severe, disabling or even life-threatening.
ADHD can be treated by a variety of medications, and the two most common drug classes used for treatment are stimulants and nonstimulants. The main difference between the two is that stimulants stimulate the Central Nervous System (CNS), and nonstimulants do not. Once stimulated, the CNS releases dopamine and adrenaline, prompting multiple reactions in the body, such as increased focus and a faster heart rate.
This video describes the differences between the two drug classes, gives popular examples of each (ie adderall and vyvanse as stimulants and wellbutrin and strattera as a nonstimulants) and describes the differences between the drugs with regard to their chemicals and compounds. But don’t worry – I keep it fast-paced and upbeat, with a bit of humor sprinkled in.
I also answer a few popular questions, such as:
“Why do some medications work well for me, while others don’t?” “Is there a way to find out if a certain drug will work better for me?” “What’s the deal with citric and ascorbic acid (vitamin c)?” “Should I eat before I take my medication?” “How often should I take my medication?”
In current society, people with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) tend to struggle if not suffer. Despite this, rather than a disorder, ADHD should be thought of as a particular neuro-cognitive profile; that is, a characteristic brain format that results in a different way of literally thinking. With so many people diagnosed with ADHD – and so many more undiagnosed — we must ask, where does ADHD come from and is it truly a problem in and of itself?
Salif shares a current hypothesis about ADHD’s root and an alternative perspective – including several benefits of the condition – regarding how we engage with it in our schools, homes and selves.

Dopmaine receptor genetic polymorphisms and body composition in undernourished pastoralists: An exploration of nutrition indices among nomadic and recently settled Ariaal men of northern Kenya. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 8, 173-184.
Salif is currently a doctoral student in the Experimental and Applied Psychological Program at USU. On a day-to-day basis he manages Dr. Kerry Jordan’s Multisensory Cognition Lab. His research investigates cognitive and neurophysiological outcomes of exposure to, and immersion in, natural environments. Salif loves long walks in the mountains, hunting, fishing, camping, gardening, and planning his future homestead. Most of all, he loves having no idea whatsoever as to how to parent his two-year-old son, but trying anyway.

How stimulants work in Adult ADHD: Most people know that the stimulant medications can be of great help in Adult ADHD, but most people think it just boosts concentration. I have seen many people find them transformative and they can be very helpful. There is no such thing as a free lunch. It can help to be aware of some of the negative aspects and ways you can minimize them.
The stimulants (dexamphetaine/Adderall, ritalin/concerta/methylphenidate) have many effects on the brain/body. Many of these stimulants are not well-known to the public or their doctors. We'll discuss the 10 secrets and benefits of stimulant medications.
Secret 1: Stimulants can inhibit natural distractibility
Secret 2: Stimulants can decrease spontaneity, creativity, and playfulness
Secret 3: Stimulants can make it worse to sleep, anxiety, panic, and anger
Secret 4: Sometimes stimulants can reduce anger and anxiety
Secret 5: Stimulants can sometimes lead to addiction
Secret 6: The secret to increasing physical performance, blood pressure, and heart rate
Secret 7: The reverse of stimulant effects are rebound effects
Secret 8: Sometimes, the "crash", can help with sleep
Secret 9: Tolerance may develop over time. This can lead to dose creep
Regular (weekly) breaks from them can reduce the risk of secret 10: tolerance/dose creep
ADHD can be treated by a variety of medications, and the two most common drug classes used for treatment are stimulants and nonstimulants. There is a major difference between stimulants and nonstimulants. They stimulate the Central Nervous System, while nonstimulants don’t. The CNS releases dopamine (and adrenaline) when stimulated. This triggers multiple reactions, including increased focus and faster heart beat.
This video explains the differences between these two drug classes and gives examples (e.g. adderall and vivanse as stimulants, and wellbutrin or strattera to be used as nonstimulants), and discusses the differences in the chemical and compound compositions of the drugs. Don’t worry, I keep it upbeat and fast-paced with a little humor.
A few common questions I answer are:
“Why does some medication work for me while others do not?” “ Is it possible to determine if a drug works better for you? “ “What is the deal with vitamin c and citric acid (vitamin C)?” “ “Should my diet be changed before I take my medication?” “ “How often should my medication be taken?” “
(I apologize for the quality of the video. Donald Trump coughed on mine devices, and they're now infected. Although technical problems have plagued me for the past week, they did not stop me from thanking everyone for their help while I worked on Ep. 5)
This is a quick note to say thank you to all the black women and women of color who have discovered this channel and are sticking with us for the ride. When I began aggressively treating my ADHD last summer, I found what I could not find on YouTube and social media: women like me who are willing and able to share their experiences with ADHD. Because not enough people are seeking help, black women are almost invisible in the mental healthcare conversation. Why? It is impossible to treat something we do not acknowledge. It is my passion to bring ADHD out of the shadows of shame. God created us all this way. Your purpose, your calling, and your purpose are found in your unique gifts.
If you have any questions or comments, I am available to help! To reach 1 ,000 subscribers, the next milestone in ADHD is the new Black. This will allow me to have more live interaction and interaction with my fellow absent-minded queens. Please share this video or the channel. Click "Like" or "Subscribe" to show your support.
