But, I'm wondering if it's causing an underlying melancholia that I can't shake, along with a cranky, irritable mood that hits me in the afternoon. I'm fighting it as I love the initial energy and mood elevation it gives me, though I'm not so sure it's worth it.

I also take Vyvanse and the same happens to me.Sometimes I take an additional Adderall in the afternoon to extend the relief it offers. In the beginning with Vyvanse, it would last a while, now I'm lucky if I get 5 hours of relief. The melancholia is part of the comedown. I wonder if anyone knows how to make it less pronounced.
