This video pretty much describes my experience with Vyvanse. It‘s effects to Dopamine and Noradrenaline were really intense and that helped with motivation (doing tasks easier) and focus (less often hurting myself while doing tasks).
However the flipside was horrendous. I was crashing BAD each evening, full anxiety and anhedonia spike bordering on suicidal thoughts type crash. Needed more sleep but had trouble going to sleep and often woke up at 4 in the morning. I had to endurance run for grades once when I took it and my pulse went to 240bpm, felt like a heart attack. So yeah even jogging or gym isn‘t fun when you are drenched in sweat for no reason. And then waste your gained focus on the wrong thing :D.
240 jeeeze the highest I've had mine this year was 179 and that's not fun
I suspect that the normal limitations of my body were overridden by the amphetamine and I pushed to the limit which mechanically is 240bpm because the heart needs 250ms to reset. But yeah, 180 is where I would say pain begins.
