First Day on Elvanse: A Personal Journey with ADHD Medication

London, UK – A recent video shared by content creator Liv Gough, known as 'livplustwo,' offers a candid look into her first day on Elvanse, a medication prescribed for ADHD. Uploaded on June 17, 2025, the video chronicles her experience, detailing the immediate and ongoing effects of the treatment. Liv began her day by taking her first tablet, committing to provide updates throughout. Within 45 minutes, she reported a noticeable 'clearer' feeling in her brain. An hour and a half later, she described feeling 'much calmer' and 'way less overwhelmed' by daily chaos. Two hours post-medication, Liv experienced a surge of energy and motivation, expressing a strong desire to 'get things done.' By the three-hour mark, she felt 'happier and motivated,' though she noted increased thirst and a dry mouth, along with an unusual symptom of teeth grinding when concentrating. Despite being told by her consultant to expect a 'crash' around 2 or 3 PM, Liv reported no such experience by 3:30 PM, eight hours after taking the tablet. She continued to feel 'good' and 'motivated.' Even at almost 6 PM, approximately 10.5 hours later, she confirmed that the anticipated crash had not occurred, and her mind felt 'so clear' and 'less overwhelmed.' By 8 PM, 12.5 hours after her first dose, Liv observed the medication beginning to wear off, which she considered a positive sign, as some individuals struggle with sleep when starting ADHD medication. She concluded her first day feeling positive, having experienced minimal negative side effects, and plans to share further updates.
