Any ideas why these things are like this with me?

Starting with basics, how is your diet? Sticking with unprocessed foods as much as possible might help, especially getting at least the recommended number of veggies and fruits. Fish oil supplements are getting recommended more and more for various conditions even from mainstream medical sources.

Are you seeing a therapist of any sort (either specifically for ADD or just a general therapist)? He or she could serve as a reality check to exploring your difficulties being understood, and with other things.
 
Sounds like side effects from the Vyvanse. See your prescribing doc, maybe you need a lower dose.

Get your thyroid levels checked too - hyper and hypo thyroidism can cause symptoms like these.
 
i could tell, most of the symptoms you listed are related to smoking weed. its quite rare, you hear all about smoking weed can cause schizophrenia and other serious conditions but you never hear about the other things such as the ones you listed. doctors are great but when it comes to drug use they are useless. i had the exact same problems you did and im not going to say stopping smoking it will fix them all but it certainly helps,i was in exact same position as you im a lot more social and active now and i can actually concentrate on things for more than 2 mins, i have no right to say this but it doesn't sound like adhd at all it sounds like a cop-out on the doctors part. if its really bothering you i suggest staying off the weed and vyvanse for a week and see how that goes
 
Lower the dose of the vyvanse
Sounds to me like you're taking too much of it and are starting to feel more serious effects, common with overdosing.
 
oh yeah... naw dude ive been diagosed with adhd sense i was 6.. don't believe i've been smokin bud for that long... i only started smoking about 3-4 weeks ago and these issues have been going on for more then i can remember.
 
these things i have always had.. i posted them all on a normal basis without medication... which i why i still put things up for adhd that the vyvanse usually helps with. i also just started taking vyvanse aswell so at this current moment im only taking 30mg.. and sometimes depending on how hyper i am ill take 2 of em. my main concerns are the memory and the frustration and sleep type issues... and the exploding outbursts when im upset... it nearly gets to the point where i am irritated and if someone says the wrong thing without thinking ill just go off on them and from that point my heart starts beating really fast and then i start shaking and have short breaths.... and feel like im going to accidently kill someone or something
