Had an interesting conversation with my wife this morning as she took me to work. One of the many things I love about her is that we can talk about literally anything, and often do, hopping from topic to topic. As random and scattered as my trains of thought can be, she can generally keep up and stay engaged. Even when she chuckles at the frequent topical shifts.
We’d had a rushed morning. A 9:15 chiropractor appointment that we were late for; a late breakfast afterward. I’d taken my medicine before we left for the appointment, so this was a good 90 minutes later. She noticed my agitation and said, “drink your caffeine.” I’d ordered a cola with my breakfast, but where before the new drugs I’d drink quickly, I had barely touched it on the trip up (too busy talking?)
The 60mg of Vyvanse makes a difference, but it’s only a partial bridge. I’ve noticed it takes an additional jolt of caffeine – 1-2 energy drinks, say – during the day to fully focus. I didn’t have one yesterday, and I could tell the difference.
Will make note of this for when I next meet with my psychiatrist.
I’m glad for the improvement the Vyvanse is making. But it’s only a start.
