I got a prescription for Vyvance for BED about 6 months ago and never started it. Do you think it's expired by now, and won't work if I start it? ## Hello, Amy! How are you? No, it should be fine, if your doctor still approves of you trying it. Tablets and capsules are usually good for at least a year from whenever you received them from your pharmacy. The FDA classifies Vyvanse as a stimulant, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, headache, dry mouth, insomnia, nervousness and anorexia. Is there anything else I can help with?

Some history: im heather, 20 yrs old and i was born with one kidney so everything i take hits me strong. And im not sure if things take longer or shorter to process with one kidney. Ive never worried about my kidney much because ive always taking care of it while still being able to live 100% normal until late. I'm worried i may have done some damage this past week. i did not intend to take the amount of vyvanse i have taken the past few days. I just found myself doing it. But i was recently re prescribed vyvanse for my adhd. I take 60mgs its seriously been since almost a week when i first started them again. I was previously prescribed a higher dose of vyvanse when i was 16 and never had a problem. Just made me sleepy . But this time around is a huge struggle. I took 60mg the first...

I have done the one thing I say I will not do every month with my vyvanse. I got 2 prescriptions filled this week one for 50 and one for 60. Now here it is day 4 that I have almost taken all of it. I am always looking for that ultimate high but it always ends up like this. The initial high is gone and now I feel like crap. I have barely slept or eaten and I am trying to get get past this stage of the crash. I am trying to hydrate and I am taking my normal meds prozac,lunesta,xanax. I do not want to keep with the cycle of smoking all day not eating and then having to take extra xanax and drink to go to sleep knowing I will feel worse in the morning. I am so uninterested in anything around me but I feel I need to be doing something. Any stories or advice would be much appreciated. *please...

I have been taking Vyvanse for several years now and it has changed my life.....for the better. I was in my late 40's when I took a brother of mine to the doctor to see if there was any help available for his mental condition. Something that could help him function and be productive and have some normal thinking patterns. Long story short that didn't work for him but while there and hearing some information about ADD I realized me, my mother, my son, and other family members suffered to some degree with this disorder. I wanted to learn more and knew nothing of the drugs or how they worked. It was a little scary because I never had been a medicine person and was reluctant to try a drug to deal with this problem. I knew that my thinking process was in short increments not long dra...

I accidentally took a 2nd dose of my 60mg vyvanse daily dosage. I had completely forgotten I had already taken it earlier. I am 135 lbs. and a stay at home mother. Will I be okay? Please advise. ## Hello, JMarie! How are you doing? Did anything happen? In cases such as this, you should always contact your doctor or poison control. While there are always people online, like myself, that are happy to help, if we can, we cannot administer life saving aid, if that is what's required. This is a stimulant, so an overdose does have the potential to be dangerous, it could cause a dangerously elevated heart rate and hypertension, so it's not something to be taken lightly. ## Sounds like the vyvanse isn't working if u forgot u took it in the first place.

I am an adult with ADD. I've done very well with Vyvanse 50 for past 5 yrs. but new insurance formulary won't pay for this. The nearest substitute I can find is dextroamp-amphet and I'm told that 20mg twice daily or 20mg + 10mg mid afternoon should be equivalent. Don't think I can get both rx'd per month. Can I split a 20mg ER cap? Will this cause a huge crash? I found Vyvanse very smooth and insomnia was seldom a problem. Thanks. ## No, you can't split the ER ones, since they are time released. Doing so may cause you to accidentally take too much of the medication, at once, which could result in overdose. What has your doctor advised? They should be able to help you find an equivalent that you can try. The FDA classifies this medication as stimulant, so it carri...

can I take vyvanse 50 mg and prosoma 500 together ## Hello, Meep meep! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between Vyvanse and Carisoprodol, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. The FDA classifies Vyvanse as a stimulant that carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, insomnia and anorexia. Cariosoprodol is classified as a muscle relaxant its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I picked up my vyvanse last night and ibuprofen someone stole my medicine will welfare replace them if I file a police report Deb ## Hi Deb, Sorry to hear about your medication being stolen. I did a bit of research on the matter and while I cannot speak for Welfare directly, information I'm finding on the topic of stolen meds suggests that you will have to file a police report for controlled substances such as Vyvanse, along with filing a request with your physician for an early refill. I believe you just need the patient's name, patient's ID number, medication(s) requested and police report handy in order to submit such a request. It is also important to note that some practices do not provide early refills at their discretion and may only offer a plan on how to manage the ...

yes I had taken a drug test for my company over 2 weeks ago and this morning I received a phone call from the testing facility where they actually have the lab and was told by the doctor there that I had tested positive for methamphetamine which I have been confronted with this issue before and always submitted my prescription. there was never any question but now I have been on Vyvanse changed to Concerta and prior to the test the following week I have been sick with the flu and had been on antibiotics, albuterol, and several other different things.

Vyvanse gave me my life back! I have nothing bad to say about it. I didn't feel I was depressed, etc......I just had no motivation because I was so tired all the time. I KNEW I was sleeping my life away and was not happy with that. It's been 3 yrs...and i feel vyvance is not working as well as it was. I'm sleeping again. I tried a generic of Adderall in the evening, until that no longer works. Today, the doc gave me fetzima to go with my vyvance. Haven't started it yet. Does anyone have feedback or any suggestions as to what to take to feel the way i did with the beginning of vyvance?? ## Hello, Sally! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're having. It is normal for a medication to stop working as well for someone, if they've been taking it for a lon...

My doctor gave me an expired free trial card with the prescription. I've been on Adderall and I don't like the way I feel on it. I haven't tried Vyvanse yet but I'd like to. I'm sure everyone here knows how expensive it is. I called the doctor's office and they said they'd try and get me a current card but they didn't. I called the number on the card and was on hold forever and I've been searching online. Thanks for any information. ## Hello, Maggie! How are you? I'm sorry, but several people have asked about this recently and I haven't been able to find a current offer for it. Have you tried calling the company, again? ## Yes, I have tried calling and was on hold for 30 minutes before I hung up. Thank you for the response. ## go to Shirecares...

Have a friend that has turned violent while be treated with vyvanse . We believe the drug has caused this behavior and she is now in trouble with the law. Has anyone had any experience with this ## Hello, Sophie! How are you? I'm very sorry about what happened to your friend. Vyvanse is a stimulant, so there is a risk of it causing such issues, in some people that take it, along with nervousness, insomnia, anorexia and weight loss. However, I am not a doctor, so I can't definitely say if that is what has caused her problem. But stimulants can do that and its been known to occur with anything from energy drinks to coffee. Has anyone else experienced something like this? ## Hello, yes. I am a 19 year old girl that just got away from the drug. At first, Vyvanse was the best thing t...

Last summer i was taking vyvanse 70 mg for my add. It worked wonders for me, but I stopped taking it because i had transportation issues and couldnt get to the dr. On may 31st I started taking the vyvanse 70mg again and for the first week I was fine and things were great. The second week I started to be too concentrated on my work spending from 2pm - 1 am on the computer doing research for a class, and 2 of the nights i had hallucinations. The texture of the ceiling was gently waving like water on a lake, and the carpet was doing the same. on day 17 (yesterday) I threw up about an hour after taking my vyvanse. I felt sick and jittery all day Last night I started feeling worthless and hopeless to the point of wishing I were dead. Today I did not take my vyvanse but my stomache still hurt...
