Do you ever find that vyvanse doesn’t fully slow your thoughts, it kind of just gives you a way to notice those fast-paced/random thoughts

At least it does for me. Like, I still think about what I usually think about but I’m able to compartmentalize them and make them less erratic

      That's kinda the opposite of what it does for me. Whatever I happen to be thinking about the second it kicks in is what I'll be thinking about for the next six hours. Needless to say, I need to time my dose carefully.

      It’s like neoliberal capitalism for thoughts without exploitation

    I'm what's called 'medication resistant' meaning that it doesn't work well for me and just makes me irritable and jittery.

    yeah, this is why honestly I kinda prefer it (despite the havoc it wrecks upon my digestive tract) and have never switched to adderall/ritalin.

    I wish I could take it again but it's ~$400 at my pharmacy (no insurance).
