Vyvanse Dose Drop

Updated

I'm a 17 year old Junior in High School and I have been taking 70 mg of Vyvanse for longer than I can remember, even before 7th grade. Recently my boyfriend has been telling me it's making me depressed. I can usually tell when my medicine has worn off and one night I was acting happier than usual because of that. He told me I should just stop taking it, but my mother who's recently been very controlling tells me otherwise. Would it really be that bad to just drop it?

Also, out of curiosity, i often forget I take my pill and end up taking a second one. How much is too much?

Hello, Himeko! How are you?

The best thing to do, regardless of what your boyfriend or your mother says, is to go discuss the problem with your doctor. They are the best qualified to advise you on this.

As reported by the FDA, suddenly stopping it could result in withdrawal effects that may include nausea, fever, chills, diarrhea, insomnia and weight gain. It is best to taper it slowly under your doctor's supervision.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I had the same issue with my ex. He tried to convince me that meds I was taking was making me depressed... In reality it was my ex who was the controlling one. I did not realize at the time that I just was not happy around him anymore and we were growing apart. Vyvanse intensifies emotions so if you are happy you will be a bit more happy, if you are feeling depressed then I'd search for the real reason for it because all the Vyvanse will do is make you feel a bit more depressed.
