For ADHD "I asked my doctor about Mydayis because it lasts 16 hours. The first week I was so calm, never been so calm in my life, even with antidepressants. I was able to focus during conversations. I organized my desk (a little). Cleaned my car out (a little). My second week I was still focusing, but I couldn't eat. I was repulsed by anything other than fruits, vegetables, cereal. But then I felt dizzy... sick to my stomach. My eyes seem to move involuntarily (nystagmus), and I got the worst eye strain I've ever had. My neck muscles felt extremely tight, and I just kept massaging my neck, trying not to panic. I tried to tough it out for the next 2 days but could not. It's been 2 days since I quit taking it, and my eyes are still involuntarily moving a little. I had big hopes for this med, but this is how it worked for me, and I was only taking 12.5 mg. I just needed to let everyone know about this possibility because I couldn't find any info about it. It would probably be considered a tic."

For ADHD "I've recently switched from Adderall (the generic version) to Mydayis for my ADHD and have been noticing really intense dehydration about 3-4 hours after I take it. I'm shaky, feel nauseous, I have 'the runs,' and I also feel like I get easily distracted... all of the time! Like now. I'm literally supposed to be working, lol, and I started researching Mydayis side effects. I thankfully have my doctor on Wednesday, so I think I'll be switching back to my generic Adderall. I was very happy on that and got dehydrated on that as well, but I would just drink water and be fine. Now I feel like I'm drinking all of the water/electrolytes in the world and still feel awful. I really wanted to like this medication, but I think it's not worth it, actually :("

For ADHD "I wanted this medication to work because I often forget to take my second generic Adderall dose on time. However, Mydayis is not the wonder drug I wanted it to be. It takes up to 2 hours to kick in (something they hide in the facts), and even though I 'worked' this drawback by waking up earlier to take it, there weren't enough positives to keep me taking it past week four. It lasted about 6 hours before it quickly declined, leaving me with even worse ADD symptoms. It was so bad I couldn't have a conversation or focus enough to make dinner without skipping into laundry, cleaning, or some other distractions. Without the use of any medication, I have never had symptoms this bad. If this wasn't bad enough, I had horrible nausea and indigestion."

For ADHD "I might be jumping the gun with the 1/10 and stopping it after two days, but this drug is god-awful. My pharmacist friend told me the bad reviews on here were from people that expected the same high as Adderall or that they were expecting it to be bad, so it worked that way. Well, I tried it once without eating and once with eating to make sure... both days were horrible. This morning, I woke up 2 hours after taking it with a resting heart rate of 140 bpm and would have gone to the hospital if I didn’t find my blood pressure medication (for reference, I don’t have an existing heart condition, it is for anxiety). I’ve been severely depressed, I’ve had muscle pain, nausea, and I was wired. The “I’m vibrating and I’m paranoid and I’m scared” wired. It didn’t treat any ADHD symptoms. I don’t know what the heck they’re putting in this drug that they aren’t putting in the Adderall."

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 "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."

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 "This makes me very nauseous if I don’t eat enough food when I take it. It seems to me like it takes longer to start working compared to Adderall. It does not seem as effective as Adderall in my opinion, but I guess it lasts longer throughout the day. I am currently using a Rx coupon, so I pay $15/month. Dosage 37.5 mg. Compared to Adderall (which I was on for years), Mydayis causes less of a lack of appetite and less of that “pounding heart” feeling. I also feel that I am able to sleep better on this. The lowest dose did nothing at all for me besides nausea. 37.5 mg is better, but I would probably be fine increasing to 50 mg."

For ADHD "This caused me to have major shortness of breath and nausea. Much prefer Vyvanse."
