"I’ve been taking this for the last three months because generic Adderall has been out of stock. This helps with narcolepsy a little, but it is way less effective than Adderall. It’s better than taking nothing at all and trying to stay awake. One positive is that I don’t suffer from insomnia as much as I do when taking Adderall."

For ADHD "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."

For ADHD "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."

For ADHD "I am a nursing student and a pharmacy technician, so I see all the new drugs that hit the market like when this one did. I am up long hours since I have classes in the mornings until the afternoon, then I go to work for at least 7 hours per day after that. I have always had issues with school and ADHD. I finally decided to try medications when I was a freshman in college. I thought this medication would be perfect since it lasts so long. I hated having to take Adderall so many times a day, and I would forget to take them all the time. Once I spoke to my psychiatrist and started the Mydayis, I was sweating on my face so much, and I had some heart palpitations, which triggered my asthma constantly. I didn't even feel a big difference in my focus. I was already on the highest strength, so there was nowhere else to go. We decided to go with Vyvanse, and it's working great. I felt more awake on the medication, but not focused. I still felt squirrely and anxious."

For ADHD "It's okay, but it's very slow to kick in, and when it goes off, it is very slow, so it's kind of torturing. ADD people will know what I'm talking about. The panic attacks come and go, and focus is not that great. It's a lot cheaper if you use a coupon. Vyvanse has fewer side effects but is more expensive. By the way, it gives you a dry mouth, so consistently drink..."

For ADHD "Previously, I was on 25 mg of Adderall XR and 20 mg of Adderall IR since I would lose coverage so quickly. Mydayis takes longer to kick in but lasts me way longer (10 hours instead of 6). I started my own company, so focus is super important for me. I’m currently on day 3 of 50 mg of Mydayis and feel less speedy than when I had to take extra doses of Adderall IR. I have noticed a slight increase in my depression, but hoping it will pass in a couple of weeks, as others have said. I also just switched from Prozac to Zoloft, so that could be part of it too."

For ADHD "Tried for two months. This stuff is horrible. My eyes itch, my stomach hurts all the time, and I never feel like I am getting any benefit. I could fall asleep after taking this medication. I am more tired than alert. I will be asking to go back on Vyvanse."

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."

For ADHD "Have been on 37.5 mg for a little over two weeks now, and it has been working well. Will be going up to the 50 mg dose, as 37.5 is not quite enough. The medication works well in comparison to Adderall XR, with a longer duration of effectiveness. This is a good medication for me so far."

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."

For ADHD "I can relate. I'm 27 and have been on Adderall since I’ve been 13. I've tried Ritalin, Focalin, Adderall (obviously), Vyvanse, Ritalin, and now I’m on Mydayis, being prescribed 50 mg with 20 mg IR to be divided in half, taking each one separately. Mydayis kicks in literally 3 hours later, therefore, I need to take half of 20 mg IR first thing when I get up. Truthfully, Vyvanse has been the most helpful to me. I’m just always open to try something that could help me the best."

"After 10+ years of trying everything for depression, Vyvanse brought me out of it like I woke from a coma. Literally! I've been on Mydayis for just over a week after 6 years of Vyvanse. So far, I agree with others. It takes a really long time to start working. No matter when I take it, it doesn't take effect until four+ hours later. That's a really long time. I'm going to do what someone else suggested and try taking it at bedtime the night before or a couple of hours before I get up. I'm on the 37.5 mg now, so I'll give it another week (or less), then call the doctor to see about jumping up to 50 mg, the maximum dose. Other than that, it's ok. No real side effects or problems. Had a couple of incidents of heart pounding during the first few days, but that's past. If 50 mg doesn't work, I'll probably go back to Vyvanse. Hope that helps."

"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 "Switched from Concerta to Mydayis for the longer duration mechanism Mydayis offers. Was started on 25 mg of Mydayis. ADD symptoms improved, but I experienced dry mouth, dizziness, heart increase, and appetite decrease, which subsided after the first week. Second week, I felt like the dose was not effective. Doc switched me to 37.5 mg of Mydayis, and so far symptoms of ADD improved, but side effects are rough. Dry mouth, headache, dizziness, lack of appetite, increased anxiety. I’m on day 4 or 5, so hoping the side effects subside when my body adjusts to the higher dose... fingers crossed."

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 "I'm eighteen years old and was taking Concerta (54 mgs). I decided to try this (50 mgs), and wow. First night, absolutely no sleep, tossing and turning constantly. Second night, I was able to get in about 5 hours even though I took the medication at 6 a.m. and tried to go to sleep at 12 a.m. Third day was actually good, very focused and felt decent. But that night all hell broke loose. Tossing and turning again, and started thinking I did things that I really didn't do. Needless to say, not a fun time."

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

For ADHD "First day I felt it kick in, but nothing since. I started at 25 mg for a month, it didn’t help, so I moved to 37.5, and if anything, I have trouble staying awake now. I was on Vyvanse, and it worked great, so I will be asking to go back on Vyvanse. This med stinks, it’s a joke."

For ADHD "Started Mydayis about a month ago at 37.5 mg and wasn’t strong enough, so increased to 50 mg recently. The 50 mg works pretty well, though I still feel the dosage isn’t quite high enough. Overall, this medication is smooth in its delivery without a big crash and lasts throughout the day into the evening. I just wish there were a dosage above 50 mg. It’s worth trying if you are interested."

For ADHD "I just started taking Mydayis. I, as well, am having problems with it (as I did with Adderall) taking too long to kick in. 4-5 hours. Felt totally scatterbrained until the med would kick in. Decided to take it at bedtime. WOW! I was able to get up right away and get my day going, getting to work and able to focus better. The thing with Adderall is that it didn't last long enough. So I was switched to Mydayis but think I need to take it at bedtime as well. With it supposed to be longer acting (14-16 hours), I'm hoping I can sleep good, get up in the AM, focus and get going without the fatigue and not able to focus AND have it last all day at work. Worth a try."

For ADHD "I got diagnosed later than typical ADHD (age 16), but it was clear that I definitely had it. Therefore, I was thrown into the deep end with medications. I have tried everything under the sun. Pretty much hated everything. It turned me into a zombie and messed way too heavily with my stomach. I’m 28 now, and about two and a half years ago, my doctor told me about Mydayis. It was the best decision I ever made. I take 37.5 mg, and it works like a breeze. I stay focused, and it really keeps my mind straight. Working 3rd shift, the side effect of sleeplessness is actually a benefit. The only negative side effect is the upset stomach. It’s for about 1-2 hours after taking it. Other than that, it works perfectly."

For ADHD "If I could give this medication 11 points, I would. No serious side effects, and I appreciate that it lasts 16 hours with minimal “crash.” When I take it, I take it with valerian root (Valerin) to avoid the anxiety, and at night, I take magnesium for sleep. I like to take a 1-day break (advice from my psych) in order to avoid my body getting used to it and having to then increase the dose. Read how it works (3 different beads), and you will be impressed. I’m lucky that my insurance covers it, so I have a small copay."

For ADHD "Been on stimulants on and off since kindergarten (now 32). When I started college in my late 20s, I started back on Adderall XR. Without spending six paragraphs detailing the timeline which led to it, I had to stop taking Adderall XR at 50 mg a day because when I stopped another medication (an opiate for chronic pain), my RLS went through the roof, so my psych suggested Mydayis at 40 mg. This had no effect, so we bumped up over the course of 2 months to 100 mg, with no real results. It was like being on nothing at all. I've since started a med specifically for my RLS, so I'm back on Adderall XR, but I strongly recommend that if you want to try this to avoid Adderall's side effects, make sure you don't have any important commitments for a while."

For ADHD "I've been diagnosed with ADD for several years as an adult. I tried every med in the books without sufficient relief and without significant side effects. I am currently on month 2 of Mydayis at the lowest dose, 25 mg. I think I need to go up a dose, which I will discuss with my physician. However, even at the lowest dose, I am experiencing relief without side effects. I am very grateful for this product - no highs, no lows, no crashes, and I can sleep at night. Best of all, there is currently a coupon that makes this drug affordable, although it is not currently covered by my insurance."

For ADHD "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."
