For ADHD "I have switched from Vyvanse to Azstarys in the hopes that it would eliminate my appetite issues and have a reduced comedown that Vyvanse can bring sometimes, and just to generally feel more like myself. I definitely feel more like myself on this medication. My appetite is definitely helped. I’m not too serious or angry on this medication like I was with Vyvanse. It lasts for about 10-12 hours in my experience so far. Definitely helps me focus better than with Vyvanse, and be more outgoing with people at work as well. For example, my first day on it at work, I made a customer laugh which I normally wouldn’t do on Vyvanse. I don’t feel like a robot on this medication. I’ve been on every single ADHD medication that exists, and this is the best for my body and mind."

For ADHD "This medication has worked better for me than Vyvanse because it kicks in much faster than Vyvanse and doesn’t suppress my appetite nearly as much. I can drink coffee with it, and it’s not too much for me. Overall, it is smooth and lasts almost the whole day (about 12 hours). With a third-party prior authorization and the manufacturer coupon, it is affordable at $25 as well."

For ADHD "My son takes this med. He was on Concerta before, and it worked really well for him, but the loss of appetite was enough for him to start dropping weight, and then our insurance stopped covering brand and would only cover the generic that didn’t work as well. We switched to Azstarys in 2023. It works well while it’s working, but for my son, it only lasts till just after lunchtime. He takes it around 6:45-7 am. By 12:30, you can already tell he’s coming down. It doesn’t last the whole school day or through homework time. Then in the evening, he’s wild from keeping his energy in from the meds. As someone else said, it’s very Jekyll and Hyde. I do wish it was as long-lasting as it claims to be. Definitely not 12-13 hours for us, even at the highest dose."
