I thought I was going crazy but I genuinely think my medication is varying in dosage every time I take it. I honestly thought I was imagining it, but some of my pills feel genuinely lighter… frankly some of them feel straight up empty.

I take generic Vyvanse, and a few times I thought about opening up the capsules to check. I haven’t done it yet, frankly just because I’m kind of lazy and I at least hoped and trusted that my pharmacy wouldn’t tamper with my prescriptions???

During times of desperation during some of the pretty bad med shortages, I would halve and portion my dosages so one dose could last 2 days… and I could tell the difference and it sucked but being unmedicated would have been far worse. Now when I take my medication as directed, it feels just like this. It feels like I’m not taking the proper labeled dosage.

How do I even explain this to my psychiatrist? Going up in dosage is not an option, I react pretty bad to dosage increases and what Im prescribed is what we found to be optimal (when it’s consistent at least).

edit: I forgot to mention but nothing in my routine has changed, and I do still have days where my medication seems to be normal too but it feels like I’m playing a game of roulette every single day now. My eating habits are the same, water intake is the same, sleep is the same. I’ve also been prescribed ADHD meds for 6 years, Vyvanse probably only 2– but I know that this isn’t normal.
