For ADHD "I was on Vyvanse 50 mg for bulimia, it stopped the binge eating. However, I could never fall asleep, not even with a sleeping pill, and I always felt so very depressed in the late afternoon. My doctor told me about Mydayis. I switched to Mydayis 25 mg, which works even better!!! I get a good night's sleep without a sleeping pill. The only side effect is dry mouth and an occasional headache if I wait too late to take it. It's always best to take it early in the morning. I take mine at 6 am. I still have remained free from any binge eating episodes. Thankful for this medication!"

For ADHD "Taking 25 mg right now and was on Adderall XR 30 mg. I don't understand this medicine since it usually makes me tired and down for about 2-3 hours after taking it, then get an okay amount of focus for another 6-8 hours. I personally can't deal with those 3 hours every day when I need to be productive, so I will try something else. This drug may be very similar to the chemicals in Adderall, but it definitely does not feel like it."

For ADHD "Taking 37.5 mg for a few months. Previously on 70 mg Vyvanse + afternoon boost. Good: Slows down my racing thoughts. Focused for a few hours. Low appetite - def can lose a few :) Not good: (v = same as Vyvanse) I think my eyesight is affected - v. Dizziness periodically - v. Increased BP - v. Nail biting. Jaw clenching - v. Sweating. This med is going to be like all the others out there. Good for some people and not good for others. With any med, if the side effects overshadow the benefits, then it isn’t for you. Mydayis works like Vyvanse, but initially didn’t need the boost. When I take it at 6 am, I have to get right up and move around or I’ll go into a deep sleep and wake up 1-2 hrs late for everything! I still can’t figure out if caffeine helps or hinders it. I’m going to give it a few more months to see if I need to increase or go back to Vyvanse + boost. All of these meds should be accessible. No one should have to change just because of cost, in my opinion."

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 "Switched to this because Vyvanse 70 mg was wearing off too soon (I take my meds around 6 am and it would wear off by 1-2 pm). It's been about 2 weeks now, and I'm depressed, grouchy, and accomplish nothing in the morning until about 10 am when I am almost overly focused. I feel moody, more overwhelmed than normal, and it does not have the calming effect on me like Vyvanse did. I'm going back to Vyvanse for sure and going to ask about an afternoon pill to get me through those last couple of hours of work."

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 "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."

For ADHD "I love Mydayis. It lasts long enough for me to do regular work and school work in the evenings without crashing. I can't think of any negative side effects that I experienced that aren't average for ADHD meds. Overall great. However, the generic is trash. Does not work at all."

For ADHD "I've been on this medication (25 mg) for a few weeks. Didn't notice it kick in till a few hours after taking it. Felt nervous and anxious most of the day, had no appetite. Felt like I was going to cry all the time and just depressed."

For ADHD "I can't believe all these negative reviews! The only praises I hear are ones that sound like 'stage actors' who are planted into these websites and are being paid to boast about the wonders of this medicine. This medication was created because Shire no longer held the patent of Adderall, so they came up with a new drug for doctors to push so Shire could make more money again. At the same time, all the generics of Adderall that were so great are now weak and inferior. I've never been so depressed and feel there is nothing to look forward to anymore after having Adderall pulled out from underneath my feet. I just plug through my days just to get the day over with. My family suffers due to big pharma greed!"

For ADHD "Meh. I was on Vyvanse, 70 mg/day and switched to Mydayis 25 mg/day. NOT what I was hoping for. Not by a long shot. While it 'lasts longer' than Vyvanse (was on Vyvanse for years) which only gave me about 5 to 6 hours in the end, it gives me much less motivation. Makes me depressed. I'm very sorry I did not only get only a 2-week supply rather than 1 month. I have no insurance, and it was about $100 more than Vyvanse. Needless to say, I will request Vyvanse again at my next appointment. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT."

For ADHD "I started on Mydayis 37.5 mg 12/09/2017. Previously, I took Adderall XR 60 mg daily. Adderall 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 Adderall just to be productive. At the end of the month, I’d run short of my Adderall 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 50 mg 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."

For ADHD "Worst side effects ever. I switched to Mydayis 37.5 mgs once a day after several years of taking Adderall XR 30 mgs twice a day. The first week, I felt disoriented, and every time I went to bed, all my muscles felt VERY sore, especially my legs. It felt like I had run 20 miles, and every time I moved, the soreness woke me up. Then, one night when trying to fall asleep, I heard voices, it was the sound of many people talking, like I was at a very crowded restaurant. After that, I stopped taking this medication for my own safety. I’ve never had side effects with Adderall other than feeling some anxiety when I forget to eat."

For ADHD "What's throwing me off is seeing many experiences saying they couldn’t feel Mydayis working for 4+ hours. It starts off with a small instant release, so I do feel mine working right away. Side effects are different for everyone, but for comparison purposes: Adderall XR 30 mg worked 6-7 hours, then sleepiness and a hard coming down/depressed feeling, loss of appetite, calming effect - helped rationalize my emotions effectively. Mydayis: 12 hrs, still feel working within first 30-60 mins like Adderall, my appetite came back with this, no coming down feeling, but the overall effectiveness of helping with focusing sometimes isn’t as much. I’ve thought about increasing, but I’d like to see about therapy for self-management or at least a low dose. The doc also said if this dose doesn’t work as well that we’d switch to Vyvanse, which is one I haven’t tried, so I’m afraid to switch. Overall, this one has worked best for me, but I am looking at healthier avenues in the near future."

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 like Mydayis! I've tried Vyvanse and Strattera, and those didn't do much in the area of focusing, but Mydayis is like the perfect drug. It is released three times a day, which is a release after taking it, during midday, 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. People rave about Vyvanse, but it didn't do much for me. Mydayis is basically Adderall, but it's released differently, and you don't have to take an instant-release capsule after the extended release wears off. With Mydayis, you take one pill and you're set for the rest of the day."

For ADHD "I started taking Adderall XR 19 years ago, and it changed my life. First, the FDA restricted the dose to 60 mg. That was rough, but I lived, just never as well. Then it went generic, and the generics were never as good. Shire even cheapened up their brand name of Adderall XR so they could push Vyvanse. Vyvanse was terrible for me. I metabolize quickly, and it would be gone in a couple of hours. Back to generic Adderall XR and trying to find the better manufacturers if I could. Note the shortage and the withdrawal of cold turkey after nearly two decades. Being a chronic pain patient, I am used to suffering from crises that bad doctors and drug companies create. After three months, I get approved for Mydayis, and I was so excited thinking it would be like the brand name Adderall again. Boy, was I wrong. It’s more like long-acting Vyvanse. I went from 60 mg Adderall XR to 50 mg Mydayis, and I’m miserable. It’s so weak in comparison, and it’s just like a background vibration, discomfort, zombification."

For ADHD "I switched over to Mydayis in hope of finding something that could last the entire day. My days are usually nonstop for approx 16 hours. I started at the lowest dose and went up to the 50 mg after 3 weeks. Gave it a few more weeks in hopes that it would work like how we wanted it to. The negative side effects outweigh the positives. The first thing I noticed was ejaculatory anhedonia. It led to an unplanned pregnancy before I caught it. The rest included falling behind in classes and not being able to keep up at work. Felt lazy and not wanting to do anything. It was like being unmedicated all over again!"

For ADHD "Over the last 5 years, I’ve tried Adderall XR, Adderall in tablet form, Vyvanse, and Ritalin in just about every dosage, and I think Mydayis is the most effective of them all. Both Adderall XR and Vyvanse would wear off early, and I would need multiple Adderall tablet pick-me-ups to get through the day and even took more than prescribed, which would leave me out of medicine early. Mydayis 50 mg in the morning gets me through the entire day, no additional afternoon pick-me-ups needed. It doesn’t make me feel like my heart is beating out of my chest as Adderall did but still works very clean and effectively. I don’t quite understand all the other negative reviews and would recommend."

For ADHD "I loved it at first! Because it gave me the concentration I needed without a lot of the side effects. Also, it lasted all day, but still let me sleep. But I keep building a tolerance, and now I'm on 37.5 mg. One thing I really didn't like was how hard it was to get it. It is a relatively new drug that is in high demand, so I've run into some shortages."

For ADHD "I was prescribed Vyvanse chewable 30 mg in the AM and 30 at noon. I loved it, but had a month where I didn't take it regularly at noon. Dr. suggested this because of the extended release. Two weeks in: my sleep is concerning. I haven't hit REM in three days now. I have no appetite, even in the AM before I take the Mydayis. I have to force-feed myself, even ice cream is a struggle after the third bite. The two to three hours after I take it, I feel lost, can't track conversations, no/minimal recall, I can't even prioritize. After those hours, things level out a bit, but I don't have the motivation I had with Vyvanse. I believe there is a link between loss of quality sleep and struggling to meet my dietary requirements and how the drug affects me."

For ADHD "Switched from Vyvanse. Insurance wouldn't cover, and $300+ a month was unsustainable. $3 was much nicer, but with the side effects I'm having, it's not worth it. I was under the impression that this was the same/similar to Vyvanse, with a different release method, but I'm not feeling more productive at all, if anything, less. What really sucks is a low, constant headache and random body/joint aches. After reading other reviews, I'll be requesting to swap to something else. Ty to the other person with the same reactions, it made me feel better that it wasn't just me."

For ADHD "I have been on Mydayis for a few months now. It has changed my life. Initially, I was on 25 mg, 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."

For ADHD "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 Mydayis helps me have the energy to get out of bed. For me, I find 20 mg 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, Mydayis has taken effect. I also feel it's more of an even amount of focus and concentration, and I never have that midday drag where I need to take an IR dose. I don’t like taking a dose midday because my body can be weird with all types of ADHD meds. Some days it's like I take a placebo, while other days I am sweating and feel wired, which is easily solved with cardio! Mydayis works the best, it's just the $$$$ super expensive. I hope they create a generic. I think this is best for adults as well!"

For ADHD "Today was my first day on Mydayis 50 mg. I was taking Vyvanse 50 mg, 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 hours 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."
