"I started on Mydayis 37.5mg 12/09/2017. Previously, I took Adderoll X-R 60mg daily. Adderoll was working fine except the big drawback was I’d crash and have no focus after three o’clock in the afternoon. This would lead me into a vicious cycle of wanting another Adderoll just to be productive. At the end of the month, I’d run short of my Adderoll and go “in a tank”. This infuriated my husband because he didn’t understand what I was going through. Since I was tired of this cycle month after month (my FNP would not increase my dose) , I did some research and found out about Mydayis. I am taking 50mg now and it’s been a game changer. No more crashes! I did feel depressed the 2nd week but it passed. I’m really happy I found this medication."

"I like Mydayis! I've tried Vyvanse and Straterra and those didn't do much in the area of focusing but the Mydayis is like the perfect drug. It is released three times a day which is a release after taking it, during mid day, and afternoon and you basically stay focused all day. ADHD medicine is an individual thing because Mydayis works for me but someone else might not like it. Like people rave about Vyvanse but it didn't do much for me. Mydayis is basically adderall but it's released different and you don't have to take an instant release capsule after the extend release wears off. With Mydayis you take one pill and you set for the rest of the day"

"Mydayis was a game changer for me. Adderall XR and Vyvanse seemed to only last about 6 hours unlike Mydayis which lasts about 14. However it takes a really long time to kick in and sometimes I have even fallen back to sleep. I have ADHD and Lupus so I am constantly fatigued but the Mydayis helps me have the energy to get out of bed. For me I find 20mg of Adderall and Mydayis in the morning works best. I feel the effects of the Adderall within 30 minutes but by the time it wears off the Mydayis has taken effect. I also feel its more of an even amount of focus and concentration and I never have that mid day drag where I need to take a IR dose. I don’t like taking a dose mid day because my body can be weird with all types of ADHD meds. Some days it is like I take a placebo while other days I am sweating and feel wired, which is easily solved w/ cardio! Mydayis works the best, its just the $$$$ super expensive. i hope they create a generic. I think this is best for adults as well!"

"I have been on Mydayis for a few months now. It has changed my life. Initially, I was on 25mg, but I have Bipolar Disorder as well, so it made me manic when I would take it. I am now on the 12.5 mg and I am finally productive at college and it's even helped some of my anxiety. All other ADD/ADHD medicine before this has always made my anxiety worse and the side effects outweighed the benefits, but I am so glad my doctor put me on this. Without it, my brain fog is intense and I cannot function normally."

"I have been in adderall for about 12 years. I’ve been on 15 mg XR for the past 3 years until I switched to Mydayis 12.5mg. Overall I’ve enjoyed the medicine. I’ve been on it 4 - 5 months. The only negative side effect is my lower back has been killing me! At first I thought I was dehydrated or it was a UTI. Increasing my water intake and an antibiotic didn’t touch the pain."

"Mydayis has been a game changer for me. I was on 60mg of Adderoll XR for years, and I’d lose focus in the mid afternoon so I’d take another one. At the end of the month, I’d run short, get irritable, and sleep until I got my script filled again. Vicious cycle. Mydayis 50 mg keeps me level and on a smooth, even keel all day. I usually take it a few hours before waking up since it does take awhile to kick in. After a week of taking 37.5mg , I did experience some depression but it passed. I’m very grateful that I started Mydayis. My quality of life has improved greatly."

"Mydayis is the most horrid drug I have ever experienced. It is definitely very long acting and in fact, one capsule kept me awake for 4 days. During that time, I paced and picked at my skin compulsively, experienced changes in vision, (blurred vision and extreme sensitivity to light/dark and very high color saturation), severe mood fluctuations, weight loss, and side effects that affected my skin: uncontrolled itching, painful rashes, peeling of the skin on fingers and toes - as if it were an acid burn. The peeling continues to spread and I cannot put my hand in hot water because it feels like it is on fire. Do not take this drug. It is a toxic poison and I fear that it will cause a great deal of harm to many people. Do not take this drug. It is terrible."

"Mydayis is a long acting medication, class: amphetamine, with 3 doses combined to be released about every 4 hours. Thank God for the Chemists' who intricately designed the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in relation to Mydayis! I've had ADHD for 37 years and suffered many hardships due to the scrutiny of taking medication for my ADHD. I'm able to focus on one task at a time and am not distracted! I wake up at 6am: take Mydayis 37.5 mg. It kicks in by 0800. At 1pm, the 2nd dose is released and definitely can feel the effects without any crashes. 3rd dose is released by about 5pm steadily. I now have the ability to stay on task without any crashes. I fall asleep easily, the best aspect!"

"It takes too long to kick in, I have to get up hours before I am suppose to just to take it so I am alert at work. I was just sitting here today trying to figure why I have been so tired and sad and I started reading the side effects and now it all makes sense. I am going to keep taking it until my month is up and if it doesn't get better I am going back to my vyvance and adderall."

"I have taken IR Adderall for several years, but the majority of the generics are horrible and getting name brand was near impossible plus expensive. So I decided to try Mydayis because my insurance offered it as a covered alternative to Adderall. I have taken Mydayis for 6 weeks and it is awful. I haven’t been myself at all since starting it; I have been depressed, anxious, and agitated. I’ve had zero motivation to do anything. I could take it in the morning, drink a cup of coffee, and an hour later be drowsy enough to fall asleep on the couch. I don’t recommend Mydayis at all, especially if you’re looking for an alternative to name brand adderall. Even the worst generic adderall ir is better than Mydayis."

"I was taking Adderall XR 25 mg daily, and it was wearing off very quickly. Mydayis sounded like a dream, last’s the whole day, and a manufacturer coupon that left me with a $3 copay!! That dream turned into a nightmare when it managed to trigger my bipolar depression... let’s just say I’ve missed the past week of my life due to this drug. I wouldn’t recommend this medication to my worst enemy!! Buyer beware especially if you have comorbid conditions like bipolar depression!!"

"I had been taking adderall xr 30 mg for 10 years and it started wearing off too early and not being as effective. I started on Mydayis 37.5 mg and it is work amazing! It lasts much longer than Adderall XR and there is no crash like I used to have terribly on Adderall XR."

"I switched from adderall XR 20mg (3 Years) to Mydais 25mg (1 month), but felt no positive or negative effects (like taking nothing), so upped the dose to 37.5mg (~2 weeks). I’ve personally never had worse side effects from any drug. Most bothersome were strong headaches with sensitivity to light, dizziness, unusual motion sickness/nausea, achey muscles, restlessness, racing heart/palpitations, and fatigue and irritability.... plus other common adderall-ish side effects. But, yeah, takes a few hours to take effect, and not covered by insurance ($100+/30-day supply), so will not continue. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you."

"Today was my first day on mydayis 50mg. I was taking vyvanse 50mg but it was only helping for about 4-5 hours then wearing off. Today I could really tell the difference in my concentration/ focus and my energy; it was much better. I did however feel tired about an hour to two hrs after taking it but then got motivation after that for the remainder of the day. Like I said my focus was better I wasn’t running around my house like a crazy woman starting a ton of tasks and finishing none. I was able to get things accomplished pretty easily today. I am remaining hopeful that mydayis will continue to work for me."

"Switched to this from Vyvanse. Totally regret it. Now it does stay in the system longer, but it does not hit as hard. I want help focusing and this barely does any aid for that. The downsides are overwhelming. My heart is beating faster than it ever has. I need to take sleep aids at night. This stuff is nasty. I'm calling to change back tomorrow for sure."

"The first day, I was so ill it was inconceivable. Plain and simple. The second: gave me such an intense deep sleep it was still hard to grasp. Yes, I took the RIGHT prescribed pill. Obviously, way too many PERSONAL variables to go slamming a new med, (some people report very positive reactions) but after MY experience I really question the mad scientists behind this stuff. Stick to the basic Adderall."

"I've been taking Mydayis for about 2 weeks. I was diagnosed with ADHD 7 yrs ago and took Adderall XR 30mgs +10mgs every day. Even though it helped me in many ways it also made me anti-social, anxious, over use it sometimes and very thirsty at all times. For those reasons I decided to try something else (Mydayis 37.5). Honestly, I feel much more motivated, my energy increased, I'm not longer anti-social, no crash, and most importantly I can focus well. For about a week I had some side effects, (increased heart beat, couldn't sleep, focus well high BP) so give it some time to adjust. I also read that most people that switched from Vyvanse to Mydayis are suffering from depression. Be careful"

"Caused increased irritability and insomnia. Having to wake up early to take the medication because it lasts so long is very frustrating, especially when it causes insomnia. I started getting up at 5 AM to take it and still wasn't able to fall asleep until after 1 AM"

"I was on Adderall XR 20mg for years! I was told to try Mydayis 25mg and 3 hours after I took it my heart rate was at 150. It was weird because it dipped fast between 150 all the way down to 50 with in seconds! It was awful! My anxiety is still super high by the experience I’ve had today!"

"I went from taking Adderall XR 20mg twice a day + Adderall IR 20mg once a day, to Mydayis 50mg. This hasn’t been effective at all. Not motivated. Not focused. I rather just have Adderall XR plus my IR booster rather than the “convenience” of taking 1 capsule a day. Waste of my time."

"It's helped, but these side effects are a bit much. Whenever I take it, I often feel depressed. I'm not entirely sure if that's the best way to describe it, but I end up kinda hating myself and not wanting to do anything because I'm a piece of rubbish. This is a common side effect, but I've also been having vision problems and they've only been happening after I started taking the medication. It could just be a coincidence, but this new farsightedness is definitely out of the ordinary. My parents also needed glasses, but I'm pretty sure neither of them were specifically farsighted."

"Crippling ADHD (inattentive) is what I have. I've struggled in life, and I went through a few medications before Mydayis. This works, and it works damn well. 25mg. I recommend this NAME BRAND for those who find themselves unable to focus on activities they actually enjoy, but distractions still get in the way. When you can't help but find yourself spending an hour scrolling on your phone, despite not even wanting to do that much. I do NOT RECOMMEND using generic Mydayis if you fit the above description. It is not anywhere near the same strength. Mydayis is strong medicine. A powerful drug. The main side effects are a lack of hunger for me. It's not so bad, as long as I track what I've eaten that day and decide I need to eat. Weight loss is a plus for some. It is not recommended from my experience to take this with high amounts of caffeine. A small cup of coffee is the most I can recommend as the jitters are easier to get. Can't have powerful medicine without strong effects."

"I was on 70mg Vyvanse for several years, but was constantly complaining that it stopped working by 2pm every day. So when Mydayis came out, my doctor suggested I try it. It DOES last longer, but that also means constantly being "on" from the time you take your pill to the time you fall asleep. This led to a non-stop feeling of being overwhelmed and worsened anxiety. I was stuck in a state of exhaustion but never able to rest. I started at 32.5mg and didn't feel it was helping me concentrate, so I went up to 50mg and still didn't feel like I was concentrating well. The worst issue I had is a much higher diastolic blood pressure - I'm talking after 4 months on Mydayis, I was 15 points higher than before I started it. Additionally, I started grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw leading my dentist to comment on some chipping of my teeth from grinding. I'm switching back to Vyvanse. Mydayis is not worth it - be careful what you wish for, I guess!"

"It's okay, but its very slow to kick in and when it goes off is very slow so its kinda torturing. ADD people will know what I'm talking about , the panic attacks come and goes , and focus is not that great , its a lot cheaper if u using coupon. Vyvanse has less side effects but more expensive. BTW it gives u dry mouth ,so consistently drink..."

"I was on 70mg of Vyvanse & 30mg Adderall before I was switched to 50mg Mydayis. I had a bad crash before if I forgot to take my second dose early enough. I was able to focus & finish tasks of a morning but evenings were difficult. Now with the Mydayis I have a rough time in the mornings. My daughter had perfect attendance until I started this new medicine. I timed it & it's taken almost 4 hours for me to wake up. I took it at 4:45am. I also have a really hard time getting to sleep if a night. I don't have the bad crashing as I did before but I catch myself grinding my teeth a lot. I absolutely hate that I have to take it at 3am to be able to function by 7am."
