Summary
Flint 15970 took Vyvanse and it worked well but did not last long enough, so their psychiatrist switched them to extended-release Adderall first thing in the morning plus a short-acting version mid-afternoon, and that has worked better. Nothing helps, they said, when their fatigue or brain fog are at their peak.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
