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.

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.

No, haven't tried it. Vyvanse used to be fine but after a couple of years on it, it seems to have lost some of its effectiveness. I will ask my doctor about Focalin.

I hope you are doing well.
