Hello, For the first two years I did great in college. I got all A’s in gen Eds. I took trig, principles 1, gen chem 2, and stats in a semester while doing research and working two serving jobs. In those classes I got all As except gen chem 2 was a b. I took o chem over the summer and got an A in that too.
The issue began in the fall of my jr semester. I was taking physics, o chem 2, working two jobs, principles 2, and biomed ethics, while doing research as well this time in a new lab. I wanted to do better so I increased my vyvanse dosage. I got an A in two of those classes, a C in physics, and a B in o chem 2. I slept through an alarm and got fired from my job for it. (Which is fair I wasn’t being consistent I get it). I tried to tell myself it was fine I need to focus on school anyway.
Then spring semester it got worse, so I dropped out that semester in everything except epidemiology (because that class is easy) to get my life back on track. Got an A on that, but I withdrew from biochem, molecular, and anatomy because I wasn’t showing up enough. I retook physics in the summer and got an A.
So then, I decided to try out a new college hoping the change of atmosphere would help. I upped my vyvanse dose. It’s a nice change. But I didn’t study enough again this semester, it was the strangest thing because my mind was foggy and I always felt the need to sleep. I found my Vyvanse dosage being 60 mg was way too high for me. It badly affected my focus, I was extremely shaky, left me needing to sleep all the time etc. I lowered my dosage to 30 mg and my head feels so clear and I can get work done now.
But, it’s already late in the semester when I figured this out so now I think my best option would be to go on medical leave this semester and come back strong with my new dosage. What do you guys think?
