When I first started taking Vyvanse (lisdexamphetamine) I felt similar. Most of the effects were positive. One of the not so great ones was that it kind of removed my verbal “restraint”, since I felt much more confident and much less anxious. For a while I had to keep a mental check on that that. For instance, if someone at work says something really stupid, I couldn’t just says, “That’s a really dumb ass idea.” Even though that’s what I felt like saying.

Eventually my brain acclimated to the meds and everything leveled out. I’ve been taking the max dosage for years with no issues.
