I am 56 years old...my scrip runs out and i find I am without my 30 mg dose for 3 to 5 days and get strong headaches in my back of my head at brainstem..normal? ## Hey Jim, I'm 58, I took 30 mg the first day and at the end of the day I got a whopping headache in the back of my head. I had a concussion about 4 weeks ago, so I'm nervous about this. I was wondering the same thing about the headache. I thin it is withdrawal symptom too. I'm going to ask my doctor when I see her next week. I'll pass it on to you. ## Yes, that can be a withdrawal symptom, but anytime you experience a new type of headache, or one that is more intense than usual, you should consult a medical professional to be safe, as direct by FDA warnings. Vyvanse does carry the risk of being habit forming, s...

I left my 60 mg chewable Vyvanse on my windowsill. The window was open and it rained. Some got wet and dissolved and then dried. Now they are bumpy looking and deformed but still in tact. Are they still safe to take? ## If the pills are fully intact then I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to continue taking them as prescribed. I suppose the partially dissolved tablets would be the only ones that remain questionable, at least in so far as their potency is concerned. However, when it comes to their 'safety', I personally don't consider water to be an adulterant. As a last resort, you could always bring the damaged pills to your prescribing doctor and see if s/he is willing to replace them with a new script? Hope this helps!

I took 40mg of Vyvanse on Saturday and had a u/a on Tuesday. Will I pass? ## I know this is an older thread but as many people may have similar questions regarding their (illicit or legal prescription) use of amphetamines and what results can be expected regarding urinalysis drug toxicology reports, I figured I'd post this: the answer to this specific question would depend on the frequency that the inquirer uses (used) vyvanse. Their dosage (40mg) was a pretty low therapeutic dosage and based on the way they phrased the question, I'd assume that they didn't take vyvanse on a regular basis, but rather a PRN (as needed) prescription basis or an intermediate illicit basis for recreational purposes (again pretty low dose to obtain any recreational value). Either way, if my assum...

I have Chiari Malformation - A brain condition that has my cerebellum going into my brain stem (my brain is too big for my head so it slightly seeps out my skull). I get continuous migraines and nerve pain I also have ADHD combined and Bipolar 2 I am currently on Vyvanse 30 x1 (adhd), Lamictal 100 x2 (bipolar), Gabapentin 100 x2 (nerve pain). I have never been on a nerve pain medication that has helped me out so much. My problem is, when I combine it with the Vyvanse, there is agitation and I tend to go manic for the day and crash at night with a lot of anxiety. When on Vyvanse with just the Lamictal x2 and Gabapentin at night, I feel a lot better, but I'm still cycling fast. Also, ever since starting the Lamictal I am cycling faster. I have a meeting with the psychiatrist on campus...

I was a scatter-brained mom of two young children, couldn't concentrate, organize, plan, or function at all beyond bare minimal survival. Within a day of starting Vyvanse under my doctor's supervision, I became a whole new person. I was functional again! I could finally sit down and play a board game with my daughter. I was happy, energetic, organized, I could accomplish several major tasks each day rather than only one a day or none at all which had been the case before. I rekindled my love for exercising. Over the course of two years since I began taking Vyvanse, I've transformed from a braindead, overweight stay-at-home mom to a healthy, happy 3.5 GPA college student and a thin, muscular yoga instructor. But the second year has been rougher because the medication's ef...

Hi. I was just wondering if anyone with diabetes taking vyvanse feels like the meds cause them to feel low even though numbers are fine? I just started it today and have felt low all day. ## Vyvanse can cause its own side effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, insomnia, and anorexia. What medication do you take for your diabetes? What are your blood sugar levels showing? If you just started it, today, it is normal for you to experience more side effects, it can take 4 to 6 weeks for them to wear off and for you to feel more normal. ## I take fiasp and tresiba for my insulin and as for my numbers they usually run high at around 11 or 12. I am also starting a pump in 2 weeks so that should bring my numbers down. Yesterday was my secon...

Hi. I was depressed for quite sometime. I just started seeing a psychiatrist at the time and he had diagnosed me with ADHD and depression. I was only 13 at the time. Before my old doctor moved away he prescribed me anti-depressants at first but I ended up taking them all at once and went out partying that night and ended up getting really sick. So he stopped my prescription. I started seeing a therapist after that 3 times a week along with my psychiatrist on the same days. During the 6 months I was seeing them I started to come out of my depression and was really happy. We tried numerous ADHD medications. Both stimulants & non-stimulants. Out of all the ADHD medications out there, I responded to Vyvanse the best. Now I favor the stimulants more because the side affect that would com...

I've been taking vyvanse for my entire life and I've been without my vyvanse for 2 days now and it's affecting my new job already and I'm panicking, my prescription is 303$ to pick up at my pharmacy and that's the cheapest of all pharmacies in my area and I don't get my new insurance until may and I can really use the free 30 day trial of vyvanse if anyone can help me out. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to lower the cost to 50$ or $60 because that's all I have to spend right now. But the 30 day trial would be a God send. I wont have insurance until may 2018 and I just don't know what to do, I've tried everything. Thank you. ## The manufacturer Shire does have an assistance program for this medication. You can call them to see if y...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can share their experience switching from Vyvanse 70mg once daily to Mydayis (50mg) and if it is a better medication as opposed to Vyvanse? Please respond if anyone out there has experienced this switch as I am considering it somewhat although, I have no major issues with Vyvanse. ## If Vyvanse is working for you, why switch? I am just curious. Mydays is most similar to Adderall, and is used to treat the same conditions, but overall it really depends on what works for you, and what is safest for you. Has your doctor suggest you make a change? The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, insomnia, mood changes, and weight loss. ## Hi, Verwon! Thanks for the reply. To answ...

I have two kinds of vyvanse...one is 30mg and the other is 50mg. Now i want to know if they are real cuz the powder inside isn't bitter. In fact its bittersweet. Not overly sweet. I've had vynanse many times. But i forgot the taste. Anybody know the real taste of vyvanse? ## From what I could gather, legitimate Vyvanse is reported by many patients as being "bitter", and in some cases might even leave a bad metallic taste in the mouth. However, when certain inactive ingredients are present, I hear that it may actually come off as being sweet. Does anyone else find this to be true as well? If there aren't any markings on the capsule or some other feasible way to identify the substance and dosage, your best bet would probably be to have the contents analyzed by a lab fo...

I got the blue 20 mg 3060 capsule what of i took it either 70mg Vyvanse? I truly hope that they work. from the bad reviews I'm afraid to even try one. someone please give me advice ## Are you referring to the blue capsule with the "R 3060" imprint? That's closest match I'm seeing online, and it reportedly contains 20mgs of time-released mixed Amphetamine salts, manufactured by Actavis. I don't know who told you it was 70mgs of Vyvanse, but if you got them from overseas or off other shady dealers there's no telling what might be in it, and that's just a risk that you should've thought about before buying it. I would probably take it as a sign that your body is naturally putting up its own defense to save you from taking something that you shouldn't...

how can I try a 30 day supply of vyvanse for free ## Hello, Jillian! How are you? You need to have a valid prescription from your doctor, then there is a money saving offer you can print to use with it at your pharmacy. However, there is currently no free trial available. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, headache, irritability, insomnia and anorexia. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have a valid prescription for Vyvanse is there a 2015 coupon for a free 30 day trial ? ## I lost my job and can not afford my vyvance- do you have any free coupons? ## Looking for help with a free month of vyvanse until I can get worked out with insurance

I believe someone has tampered with my medication (s489 70mg Vyvanse). I noticed some of them look crunched, like they may have been refilled with something else. All I need to know is what the inside of one looks like so I can rest easy on the thought of it. ## What are you referring to as looking crunched? Most capsules do show some irregularities, when they are put together, since they are actually 2 separate pieces and one is pushed into the other. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, anorexia, and nervousness. Can you please post back with more specifics on what has caused your suspicion?

BLUE AND WHITE CAPSULE ## It's vyvance it's a methamphetamine salt used for adhd. I just took one ^^ ## The Vyvanse that I've found similar to this has the marking S489 and 70mg, it is manufactured by Shire U.S. and they list it as containing 70mgs of Lisdexamfetamine, which is most commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. It is a stimulant. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, anorexia, and irritability. However, I cannot find one that is blue and white. The one I mentioned is listed as being blue and orange. Is anyone else familiar with a blue and orange one?
