Sorry for the random post, but today I(22) took Elvanse for the first time. Only 20mg (I‘m 60kg) and still my head feels quiet and able, the mental barriers to starting tasks are almost gone and I can switch my attention and thoughts around to what I want. Is this even possible on that dose?

Did anyone experience similar things on their first try? Somehow I‘m still doubting if the effects are real or just the novelty placebo.

But they are real OMG, I‘m not in sensory overwhelm and actually get things done, I feel like I turned on the cheat menu in a video game!

If you can relate, please let me know bc I am so used to doubting my reasoning that I would really appreciate to know if someone had similar experiences!

Thanks!

Glad it helps you. I had a similar experience on the first few days. Same dose and I could focus better and sort auditory inputs better. I think it’s still the same but I realised that sensory overwhelm did happen still, maybe even more so. The process of determining the right dose for me is still ongoing though.

    Attention and focus are improved the most for me too. Sensory overload was pretty intense when it happened, but much less distracting.

    Overall it feels like caffeine if it actually was useful.

    Good that elvanse helps you too, thanks for the insight!
