Side Effects Of Vyvanse

Updated

My son is 14 and has been taking Vyvanse for about one year now. His current dose is 60mg daily. Over the past 4 months he has been experiencing side effects that led doctors to think that he has Neuro-Cardiogenic Syncope also known as POTS (Postural Orhtostatic Tachycardia Syncope). So now on top of his Vyvanse he is now taking Toprol 25mg daily. His symptoms include rapid heart beat, dizziness, blurred vision, and chest pain. He had a TILT test performed and failed. But now after reading more, I think that these symptoms are all side effects of his medication. He participates in sports and can no longer get through a wrestling match without the symptoms so severe, he has to quit the match. Has anyone else had this?

Yes, those can be side effects of the Vyvanse, though they aren't common and some doctors may not be familiar with them. It may mean that he's hypersensitive to this medication.

Didn't they have him stop taking it, when the other symptoms manifested?

I was diagnosed with Wolfe Parkinson White Syndrome at age 15 and has an ablation done. Little did I know, I also had Neuro-Cardiogenic Syncope. After experiencing the same symptoms(the symptoms are just alike except for the negative EKG's with WPW), I had a tilt table test done and immediately failed. I got the ablation done so I wouldn't have to take Toprol XL for the rest of my life but little did I know it would be required. I am now a 24 year old married mother of a two year old son and a 9 month old daughter and my symptoms have somewhat decreased. I can assure you that the spells he is experiencing is 100% due to his recent diagnosis. Do not worry...this medicine has been a wonderful experience with no side effects. If you have any questions, e-mail me at {edited for privacy}. Good luck and I hope everything gets better!
