"Started 25 mg Mydayis about three weeks ago. Was on 30 mg Vyvanse. Vyvanse was good, but it took two hours to kick in and wore off about 5-6 hours after it kicked in for me. (I am likely a fast metabolizer.) I am now feeling lazy, a little depressed, and I am eating more food. I cannot tell when it hits or wears off. Doesn’t feel like it’s doing much. Maybe my dose was too low? Not sure if I will try a higher dose or change back to Vyvanse. Wish I knew how to compare dosages between Vyvanse and Mydayis."

"Mydayis has been a game changer for me. I was on 60 mg of Adderall 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 a while to kick in. After a week of taking 37.5 mg, I did experience some depression, but it passed. I’m very grateful that I started Mydayis. My quality of life has improved greatly."

"Never had so many thoughts, really down thoughts, as I did well on this medication. Also, daily dosage only lasted 4-6 hours before the effect decreased rapidly. Generic Adderall lasts longer with no downers. This one was not the godsend I had hoped it would be."

"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 working amazing! It lasts much longer than Adderall XR, and there is no crash like I used to have terribly on Adderall XR."

"I'm making this review one year after trying Mydayis for only a week. I switched to this drug from Adderall IR 20s BID to the 37 mg capsule, you don't really think you're buzzing, but you indeed are, and more so than with Adderall for the same dose. What prompted me to write this review was that I noticed someone else who reviewed this mentioned that they would be returning the bottle to the pharmacy because they didn't want insurance to think they were keeping it. This is an effect of the drug. I too, even though I bought it on the $5 coupon, did not want the pharmacy (who does not care) to think that I wanted to keep this drug, so I returned the remaining 23 capsules to them. It works well, puts you in a different state of mind, and doesn't provide the sense of well-being that some other ADHD products offer, but it does work better than some generics. Perhaps give this a try if you're on generics that don't work. It is pretty strong, but doesn't feel like it, if that makes sense."

"I’ve been taking meds for ADHD/ADD close to 8 years now. Tried Adderall at many dosages, types, and amounts of times per day over a period of many years. My biggest issue: I forgot to take them. Tried Vyvanse. It helped, but I got nauseous and dizzy every day. Tried Adderall again and forgot to take them. One day my doctor mentioned Mydayis. I wouldn’t have to remember taking more than one in the AM. After a week, I could tell that it was helpful but wasn’t able to tell if a BIG difference. I ran out due to scheduling once, and my brain went into hyperdrive. I hadn’t felt that chaotic for a while. WHILE talking to my doctor, she legit wrote out the prescription and handed it to me. ‘Go fill it NOW.’ Even had others asking how long I would be without it. It was clear it helped at that point. I don’t notice any side effects. My results with Mydayis are pretty good. No worries of forgetting it, which was the major factor in my switch."

"I switched from Adderall XR 20 mg (3 years) to Mydayis 25 mg (1 month) but felt no positive or negative effects (like taking nothing), so upped the dose to 37.5 mg (~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, achy muscles, restlessness, racing heart/palpitations, 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."

"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 6 a.m.: take Mydayis 37.5 mg. It kicks in by 8:00 a.m. At 1 p.m., the 2nd dose is released and definitely can feel the effects without any crashes. The 3rd dose is released by about 5 p.m. steadily. I now have the ability to stay on task without any crashes. I fall asleep easily, the best aspect!"

"10 days into Mydayis. I have no appetite even in the AM before I take the Mydayis, 50 mg. I have to force-feed myself, even ice cream is a struggle after the 3rd bite. After I take it, I feel lost, can't track conversations, no/minimal recall, I can't even prioritize. My production at work is half of what it was when I was on Vyvanse 60 mg. I don't have any motivation. I want to do things, I just can't. All the feelings of being lazy, feeling bad about myself, despair, and no motivation have come back. I feel agitated and feel that I get angry much faster. My anxiety is worse than it was when I was on Vyvanse. I am constantly bouncing 1 or both of my legs and only bounced them a little when I was on Vyvanse. I am calling my Dr. 1st thing in the morning, and I hope that she puts me back on Vyvanse. There is a shortage of Adderall and Vyvanse right now, so I am hoping I can get it. While Mydayis is only about $3 a month, it isn't worth the savings."

"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 kind of 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 was specifically farsighted."

"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."

"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 on 70 mg of Vyvanse and 30 mg of Adderall before I was switched to 50 mg of Mydayis. I had a bad crash before if I forgot to take my second dose early enough. I was able to focus and finish tasks in the 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, and it's taken almost 4 hours for me to wake up. I took it at 4:45 a.m. I also have a really hard time getting to sleep at 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 3 a.m. to be able to function by 7 a.m."

"I was taking Adderall XR 25 mg daily, and it was wearing off very quickly. Mydayis sounded like a dream, lasts 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!!"

"It takes too long to kick in, I have to get up hours before I am supposed to just to take it so I am alert at work. I was just sitting here today trying to figure out 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 Vyvanse and Adderall."

"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."

"Pretty bad. In fact, this is the worst ADHD med I have taken since Ritalin. It lasts longer? Well, it takes like 3 hrs for it to kick in, and when it does, the effect isn't that strong. That same effect lasts for about 6-8 hrs, then it drops hard. Side effects are hilarious. I get the shakes, tingles, drowsiness (even right after I take it), itchiness, inability to sleep. That sounds like a crackhead. Pros are that my appetite has been decent, I'm more social. It's almost like I didn't even take anything. Take Vyvanse if you want to focus. It's smoother and stronger. This is a dirty drug for me."

"I've been taking Mydayis for about 2 weeks. I was diagnosed with ADHD 7 years ago and took Adderall XR 30 mgs + 10 mgs every day. Even though it helped me in many ways, it also made me antisocial, anxious, overused 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 no longer antisocial, no crash, and, most importantly, I can focus well. For about a week, I had some side effects (increased heartbeat, couldn't sleep, couldn't focus well, high BP), so give it some time to adjust. I also read that most people who switched from Vyvanse to Mydayis are suffering from depression. Be careful."

"I was on Adderall XR 20 mg for years! I was told to try Mydayis 25 mg, 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 within seconds! It was awful! My anxiety is still super high from the experience I’ve had today!"

"I have been on Adderall for about 12 years. I’ve been on 15 mg XR for the past 3 years until I switched to Mydayis 12.5 mg. Overall, I’ve enjoyed the medicine. I’ve been on it for 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 was the most effective drug I have ever taken for my ADHD, and it worked too well. It is very good for getting any kind of work done, but the side effects were so insanely negative that I could not handle taking them any longer. I was prescribed Mydayis 25 mg, and I would take it on the weekdays for school and sports to stay focused, but it had really affected my sleep, my appetite, my mental health drastically declined, I could not think rationally, and I was so irritable all of the time. The Mydayis had worsened my depression, anxiety, and would trigger me to pick my eyelashes and eyebrows (trichotillomania). While it had me wanting to do my work and I was finally motivated, I simply could not take the side effects anymore."

"I was on 70 mg Vyvanse for several years, but was constantly complaining that it stopped working by 2 pm 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 32.5 mg and didn't feel it was helping me concentrate, so I went up to 50 mg 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!"

"I’ve been on Mydayis 37.5 mg for a week after taking two and a half 20 mg Adderall for four years. I feel slightly more focused for a few hours longer than my first dose of 20 mg Adderall but much, much more tired. I find myself looking for sugar or caffeine to keep focused at work after five or six hours. I don’t know if the dose is too low or it’s just not for me. Hopefully, at my next appointment after trying it for 30 days, my PCP will have some answers or suggestions! I don’t want to gain weight!!"

"Quite possibly the worst medication available. To everyone whose lives it changed, try Adderall or Adderall XR. It will change it even better. I'm 32 and have been on 50 mg of Adderall XR for many years. Before that, Vyvanse, but found I was picking at my skin. Adderall XR was cutting out early in the day, and my doctor said try Mydayis. (She also wrote me a script for Adderall, probably because she knew Mydayis sucks). First day. Four hours after taking Mydayis 50, not working. Ten hours, still nothing. I had wasted my day being not productive. Whoever thought four hours before a medication might help you with ADHD was nuts. Or just shire trying to get a new med out there because Adderall is generic. The end of my day was when I had a complete breakdown over dinner. Sobbed for hours and felt so depressed. I tapered down my Adderall to 25 mg and figured I'd give Mydayis 50 another try. Nope. By 3 pm complete sob-fest and in a really dark place. Yeah, Mydayis is $3 a fill with their marketing pack...not worth it."

"I have taken it for one month. Works good, but side effects are not good! I noticed I have great anxiety and am biting my nails like crazy! I was not a nail biter either! Makes me feel a bit nervous too! Works longer than Vyvanse, but not worth the side effects."
