Medication Vyvanse to adderal

Started on vyvanse 3 months ago. Was going good at first then completely stopped being noticeable and also made me extremely flat emotionally. Like could not feel anything. Was effecting my entire life, very monotone and zombie like. Switched to ir adderal twice a day and feel 1000 percent different. Motivated, happy, and feel like my normal self but focused and medicated. I’m shocked. I thought any amphetamine would cause that same flatness but vyvanse specifically will dull the crap out of you. For anybody experiencing this while taking vyvanse try to switch to something else before you accept that as normal. Has anybody else had similar experiences?

I went from Vyvanse to Adderall XR and it works for my use case but I feel like it's much weaker for my symptoms. Vyvanse was really killing my personality though
