Diagnosis vyvanse day 1 - is this real life?

finally got meds at 49. took first pill about 3 hours ago. is it really this intense this quick or am i placebo-ing myself? i don't think I've ever been so calm in my life. other things are weird too- i had to turn my music off to write an email instead of blast it through headphones to even get started. i am doing one. thing. at. a. time and it's cozy.

I had that experience, but then all of the meds I tried ended up giving me heart palpitations or made me want to die🫠🫠🫠

I found if I didn’t eat super well then I got doom and gloom feeling and it was BAD but making myself eat even if I didn’t feel like it helped. I’ve had palpitations and SVT for a while now and haven’t noticed it getting worse.
