How do you find the meds? Anyone tried non-stimulants? (feddit.uk)

So I’m in titration and I’m currently on Vyvanse 50mg. I’ve already tried methylphenidate up to around 60mg I think, but they just made me jittery. The Vyvanse doesn’t seem to be a whole lot better. I guess I feel ever so slightly better but it’s somewhat of an out-of-body experience and I feel the crash before the end of the work day. What I really wanted help with was my memory and context switching, and to be able to speak more clearly. I think that might have fixed all the other disorganisation issues, etc.

I’m considering asking to try the non-stimulant ones but I can’t really find anecdotal evidence of their effectiveness. Anyone tried them?

I’m not really bothered about the side effects. If it was just that I could tolerate it but I don’t feel like there’s any improvement with the symptoms.
