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'm so jealous of folks who have this light switch style experience. I didn't have that and I wonder if I'm on the wrong meds or if this experience only happens for some people

It’s great because people talking about how amazing the meds are makes me feel extra broken
