For ADHD "I have suffered my entire life with ADD. For a while, Adderall helped. Then, as I turned 49, it seemed to make me more anxious, irritable, short-tempered, and I had no patience for stupidity! Upon trying Mydayis, I was immediately impressed. I was finishing projects, getting things done right, and able to focus for longer durations of time-long enough to complete tasks at hand. I feel so much better."

For ADHD "This is my first time going on anything. At 45, I have finally admitted I have an issue focusing. I am the person with a million ideas that starts everything and never finishes anything. My therapist prescribed me Mydayis 50 mg. Started at 25, then upped to 50. It immediately changed my life. I am so focused and get so much done. Not just at work, but around the house. I can work until 10 and go to sleep or work until 3 a.m. if I choose. It's been wonderful for the 6 months I've been on it. I have never tried anything else, but last time I visited my therapist a few days ago, she asked me if it made me moody and irritable, and I said no, it puts me in a good mood and works all day. She said she was going to switch from Adderall to Mydayis, lol. I hope everyone finds the right combination or dosage because this has completely changed my life, my marriage, and my respect from peers at the office."

For ADHD "I am 32 years old. On ADD meds since 3rd grade. Was on 30 mg XR Adderall in am & 10 mg Adderall at lunch. Doctor recommended Mydayis based off lasting period. He prescribed 25 mg. 1 month in, great, not to mention I was able to fall asleep for the first time in my life without taking a sleep aid. But after 1 month, all hell broke loose. Began to notice an odd feeling of like flat line, not happy, not sad. I then got this odd feeling in my chest about 2 p.m. every day plus anxious. Contacted doc & he said it worked great month 1, so let's bump it down to 12.5 mg. Did nothing, called the doc back & said I wanted bumped back up. I am now on day 3 of taking the 25 mg & I am short of breath & I have almost a hollow feeling in my chest starting at approximately noon. I'm clenching my teeth, feel irritable & anxious. I've tried Ritalin, Concerta, XR Adderall & Adderall. Recommendations for someone that has taken a lot, and none of the other meds mentioned above have worked?"

For ADHD "I've been taking Adderall XR for 5 years now, and it's been working fine, but my doctor offered for me to try Mydayis so that it would last a bit longer. I've been taking Mydayis 37 mg for 2 months now and have become increasingly irritable, VERY DEPRESSED, and unmotivated. I even relapsed with self-harm, which I haven't done in 6 years. I also had my first extreme panic attack. I was finally in a good mindset before I took this, which took YEARS of therapy and medications. If you have struggled with depression in the past and still struggle with it occasionally, I would not suggest this drug AT ALL."

For ADHD "Not at all what I expected. Have used Vyvanse with success, but went back to Adderall, more flexibility dosing. Can take a second dose during the day if necessary, or not. Mydayis takes an unusually long time to kick in. Have found that I am much more irritable, foggy, and have experienced feelings of being overwhelmed at work doing things that I normally handle day in and day out with no problem. I am, for the most part, easygoing, everything seems to annoy me since I began using Mydayis. Also, have experienced headaches during lag times, body aches, and flu-like symptoms. A lot of the time, I feel worse than I do unmedicated. Do not like Mydayis at all. Will not be refilling."

For ADHD "I was prescribed 50 mg. 1st day I could literally feel the release of the medication. During the lag of the release, I would get headaches, become tired, irritable, and frustrated with every situation and conversation. By evening time, I couldn't carry a conversation without forgetting prior known facts. Saturday, I was completely not myself. On top of how I felt Friday, I was emotional, had down thoughts, I couldn't follow a timeline: I was late for everything. Sunday seemed to be better but not by much. Monday... horrible, it was like I added Friday and Saturday symptoms together, then add in horrible chest pain, shortness of breath, constant feeling of about to faint, fever, flu symptoms, hot/cold, exhausted but not able to sleep, & more symptoms. I refuse to take another dose."

For ADHD "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."

For ADHD "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."

For ADHD "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."

For ADHD "I was prescribed Adderall IR 10 mg 2x daily last summer, but the dips between dosages were awful. My doctor prescribed Mydayis 12.5 mg to see if the XR would help even out the lows. Mydayis took several hours to kick in. I had to wake up 2 hours earlier than normal just to be productive by an acceptable time. The overall productivity effects were minimal. I became horribly irritable. I could not be in the same room as others, and noise made me 'fighty'. (I typically have a very quiet, sweet disposition.) I slept far more than average and noticed significant gaps in my memory. I was very nauseous, and I began violently vomiting after each pill. Overall, it was an awful experience. I am back on Adderall IR and realize, as a college student, XR is not best for me. I need to be in control of the effective period. IR gives me flexibility that Mydayis and pills like it can't provide."

For ADHD "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 have severe obstructive sleep apnea and have taken Foclin, Adderall, Adderall XR, and now Mydayis. Foclin was horrible and made me extremely irritable. IR Adderall 30mg x 2 each day worked great for years as long as it was in stock (only 1 generic brand worked), but it always had peaks and valleys. Mydayis is totally different but in the BEST ways!!! I wake up in the morning, take the Mydayis, lay back down for an hour, and when I get back up I am good to go for the rest of the day. I use this medication for daytime alertness because I drive for 4-6 hours each day and usually work anywhere between 8 and 12 hours each day. Unlike Adderall, Mydayis lasts all day, every day, every time. I don't have to remember to bring my meds with me every day, and I have no problem going to sleep at night."

For ADHD "Started taking Mydayis after Vyvanse got to be really expensive. For the first month, I was on a 37.5 mg. It didn’t seem to help my focus, and worse yet, by 7 PM, I was ridiculously irritable. The doctor decided to increase my dose to 50 mg during month 2. The first few days, I felt pretty good. But by 5 days in, I felt awful again. This time, I felt like a zombie, had zero focus, and still felt mad at the world. This stuff is awful. I would never recommend taking this stuff. Time to go back to Vyvanse."
