So a few of my friends took some vyvanse pills and i took one (even though im not perscribed to them yeah i know not good for you) my friends felt hyper but i felt normal,dry-mouth, and havn't slept for about 24 hours. When i tried to go to sleep my mind just kept racing with thoughts. Do I have ADHD?

Hello,
Based on personal experience with friends and family, it doesn't seem likely. Usually the ADHD or ADD medication that's prescribed by a M.D. or D.O. is a psychostimulant of some sorts. I am not in the biological sciences, but as I understand it in laymen's terms, it actually pushes the diagnosed individual passed a certain neruochemical threshold and calms the individual, allowing them to focus normally where otherwise it be near impossible. This includes being able to sleep. It seems like the medication had the effect it would on a normal person; it stimulated the living daylights out of you.
Calm down. Ride it out. You're going to be just fine.
EDIT: Side effects are not necessarily limited to those with ADHD. Again, I'm not an expert, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. If you're really concerned, contact a psychiatrist or psychologist and ask for advice.

Yes, and it will happen, it just might not happen at school.
Please understand you will most likely become highly agitated and severely depressed no matter when it happens. Just remember: it's not your friends or family's faults, it's just the drug. :)
