I was diagnosed with ADHD recently, but scared to start Vyvanse
Hello all,
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD by a psychiatrist, and I will be meeting with him soon to talk about treatment options. I believe he's going to prescribe Vyvanse to me.
I am a bit skeptical and worried as to whether or not to go with the medicated option. I am scared of a potential addiction to it, especially knowing that I've struggled with behavioral addictions (porn, phone).
I want to hear from you. Any advice? Anything you'd wished you knew?
UPDATE: I appreciate everyone who responded to my post. I decided to start with a non stimulant option as a first treatment and see how I feel on it.
