For ADHD "33-year-old male. I have been off and on stimulants my whole life. I take Lamictal, Cymbalta, Xanax, and Evekeo. Evekeo has been an excellent medication for me, and it just went generic, which is a huge plus. I don't get the tunnel vision that Adderall gave me, or the extremely anxious and depressed feelings I got from Adderall. Ritalin made my body, even my bones, ache. I felt like I had the flu, and it actually made me less effective. Vyvanse made my blood pressure extremely high, and I felt like I metabolized the dose extremely fast. I felt somewhat manic on the medication. I take 30 mg of Evekeo, 10, 3x per day."

For ADHD "18-year-old college female. I've been medicated for 4 years now and tried Concerta (which was hell) and Vyvanse (the devil's drug). Evekeo was amazing at first, kind of similar to Vyvanse, and then it went downhill. Whereas on Vyvanse I just wouldn't eat and was depressed and spacey, this one didn't have side effects like that. But after a while, it made me incredibly mean and didn't seem to take away the verbal impulse side of the hyperactivity. I'm normally an incredibly happy person, but when I'm on this medicine, I'm a bitch to whoever over whatever for no reason at all. It did help with the focusing though."

For ADHD "Having a high metabolism, my medications wear off very quickly. Dr. and I talked about trying Evekeo, but decided to try adding one more dose of Adderall XR to the mix. When that didn’t help, I tried Evekeo and discontinued the Adderall XR but kept the afternoon doses of IR. As for Evekeo, I had a very bad reaction to it. My face broke out, and not pimples but sores that are now going to scar. My depression (which I haven’t had in a while due to the consistency of taking medication) was three times worse, I went to a very dark place. I went days without sleeping, no motivation or drive to do anything, very irritable, very mean, not social at all, terrible intrusive thinking, pushed away anyone that was close to me, no appetite at all, headaches, muscle soreness, and vomiting/diarrhea. Thankfully, we stopped the medication, but I don’t want to feel like this ever again!"
