Are hallucinations a common side effect?

I have read on this forum about auditory hallucinations with vyvanse. Is this a common side effect? Is it a side affect for meds like Adderrall also, or just this medication? ## Hello, Based on my research, mental/mood/behavior changes (such as agitation, aggression, mood swings, depression, hallucinations, and abnormal thoughts/behavior) are serious side effects of Vyvanse. Those side effects may also occur with Adderrall- but are rare. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Vyvanse Details You can learn more about this drug on the page for Amphetamine + Dextroamphetamine Details I hope this info helps!
