I recently started taking Vyvanse, it's been about a week. It really does make things easier to do. Previously I had taken it for about a week and everything was going well but then I started getting anxious and depressed. Quit it for a while, started it up again and the same thing is happening. Anybody else experienced something similar? Does it go away?

I guess for me it helped me be able to focus on other things than what was currently causing a spiral

Basically

Brain starts stressing about random shit

"Excuse me brain I'm busy right now"

Or in other situations

Randomly being reminded of some fucked up shit I've experienced

"Excuse me brain I'm busy ATM could we focus on something else right now"

Of course this is all in addition to working on methods of handling stress in general (square breathing, etc)
