Is this normal for Elvanse?

Has anyone else had this experience when starting Elvanse?

First dose is 30mg. Taken yesterday and today. Don't feel anything for four hours or so. Then it suddenly kicks in. Feel wired, like my eyes are wide (they aren't), jaw clenching, jitteriness, super chatty, energetic, nauseous, and like I want to go out dancing and have just taken a load of mdma (without the hallucinogenic effects!) - disclaimer, I haven't done any sort of illicit drugs for many many years, and don't even drink alcohol or caffeine these days. Then, crash around 8 hours later. Not awful but just a bit drained. Sleep has improved ten fold (though appreciate it's only been one night). I think I was naive and thought it would be a little less.... Intense?

Has anyone else had a similar experience? God knows what it's going to be like when I start taking 50mg in two weeks!

Would it be daft to stop before I've given it a chance? It's actually a really quite nice feeling despite the nausea, but I'm a bit concerned about how rollercoastery it is!

Thanks all. I've just spoken to my prescriber and they've said that the 'wired' feeling is called a rebound. It's when it is starting to wear off, and it makes some people feel really buzzy before they crash. Apparently to do with brain chemicals when the drugs are leaving our system (or something like that!). Apparently quite common and they said I will likely feel better when I go up to a higher dose, but not yet as it's too soon so to just stick it out. She said some people metabolise it really fast (some in as little as 3 hours) from their first few doses and this is likely what's happening to me, which is why I feel great for a few hours, then feel wired then crash!

So it's definitely a thing 😅

I had this! Felt brilliant when it kicked in (I wish o could have that first few weeks back)
I settled the more I took it - I think carbs can blunt the process.
how dies it feel now? I stayed on 30 but now it’s staring to have zero affect and I’m scared of moving up

by the way all this you might not have adhd is rubbish - adhd can vary. My theory is that those with more anxiety or over active imaginations might get a more extreme response initially but it does settle down
