For ADHD "Azstarys did not work for me. I took Vyvanse 60 mg for 6 years and my wife’s job changed and she’s the insurance provider. Vyvanse went from $40/month to $110 even with a coupon. Although I can pay for it, I decided to try something new. The doctor had me try Azstarys highest dose 52/10, and it barely worked. I had horrible headaches and felt flat, and my wife noticed I wasn’t laughing and making the smart-ass comments that she loves. My coworkers kept asking me what was wrong. I felt foggy and just not myself. I called my doctor, and he urged me to keep it going for the month if it was tolerable enough, so I did. I went back on Vyvanse, and it felt literally like a breath of fresh air."

For ADHD "I've been on a few different medications (Adderall and Focalin, both extended and rapid). Azstarys is by far the best I have tried. I feel calm and collected on it, without the jitters and heart palpitations. The only problem I have on days I don't take it is I feel very tired and get headaches. But I guess that's normal if you're using the medication every day."

For ADHD "I took Azstarys for two weeks at the recommended starting dosage for adults (39.2 mg). I had heard great things about it and was excited to try something new. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype and did not help with concentration or motivation. I also felt dehydrated and had headaches every day when taking it, even though I drank tons of water throughout the day. I would not recommend this drug."
