Vyvanse 15mg

Vyvanse doesn’t come in 15mg. Or are you splitting the 30mg?

I am breaking my 10mg Medikinet tablets into 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, 1/3 pieces depending on how I feel. I dont have a clear plan though, so it's not meant as advice.

You could always just keep the medication and take it when you need it in short seasons...

My friend quit it saying it made him blunted and robotic.

I only have experience with SNRI's and SSRI's. They served a purpose but eventually started fucking me up. 

Just be sure to weigh everything up evenly when your deciding to take or stop meds. For example if you struggle with motivation and consistency badly then the medication could improve that. And you might find that it doesn't blunt you or that you handle it well. 

You can also do minimal doses under that of the typical min dose. You can get creative with it

Yeah thats how I see it.

Eventually I want to live with my natural personality as it is. Because that just who I am. But at the moment, there is a lot of necessary "3d work" to do, which is really tough to do with my normal personality structure so to say. 

I'm trading creativity and a feeling for what I really want in a situation for motivation and work-ethos. Which at the moment is what I need more. 

On a side note: I also lived with an SNRI for a couple of months in hopes of dealing with some serious depression symptoms, which did nothing for me. Eventually we found out, that my depression is closely linked to my inability to stick to any project for as long as its needed and ability to earn money consistently. 

These types of dynamics are hard to spot at first glance, even for a experienced psychiatrist. Which is why persistent and honest introspection becomes ever more important.
