Hi I'm taking 60mg of vyvanse in the AM with 30mg aderall is this safe and my blood pressure medince all togather. Please answer back! Thanks ## Hello, Melanie! How are you? No, these types of stimulants aren't usually safe for someone with high blood pressure or a cardiac condition, because they can cause elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Learn more Vyvanse details here. Learn more Adderall details here. Has your doctor prescribed all of these? What are your usual blood pressure levels? ## My blood pressure has been good everytime I've checked it. I have a high tolerance I guess that's y I feel I take so much! Thank you for responding to me..

I started on Vyvance about 1.5 years ago by gradually working up to the maximum dosage of 70mg. once in themorning. I thought Id try gettin off the drug and crashed for 3 whole daus.Now I feel likr a Zombie, no energy, no motovation just limp. I realize now that it really did help me tremendously. My question is: Can I now just start back on the 70mg. capsule again after being off of it for 2 weeks? ## Hi Allen, I suggest breaking your 70 mg pills in half and take one of the halves once in the morning for 2 weeks like you used to. Doing it this way shouldn't shock your body and will give it more time to re-adjust to the medication. After the 2 weeks you should be ok to start taking 70mg again, but just listen to your body and do what you feel is right. Learn More: Vyvanse Details I...

Been taking vyvance 60mg daily since April. Starting in June if it my scrpit and took my dose and took my daughter to the park for about an hour. By the time I was done I hade extrem itching everywhere that turned into huge welts whenever scratched. I'm wondering if this could be a side effect of the meds and being in the sun. If you could help please let me know ## Hello, Chloe! How are you? No, photosensitivity is not a listed side effect of Vyvance. Are you on any other medications? Have you ever had a reaction to the sun or had sun poisoning before? ## I also take suboxens but been taken that for a while. And I've never had this happen before last month

I figured to wait since its been 6 days ...

I'm 36 and a single father. I have tried antidepressants for low motivation and depression. No luck. I've done vyvance and it helped me more than anything so far. I would like to find a dr that will not give me a hard way to go with this in Louisville Ky. Any help would be very appreciated. ## Well, when you're talking about controlled substances, doctors have no choice but to be careful about prescribing them. Their prescribing practices for these types of things are monitored very closely. You'll also experience more problems if you go in asking for a specific medication, especially if it's never been prescribed for you before. Do you have a doctor that you see regularly? If so, then your best bet is to usually see them and discuss the problem to see what they reco...

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?

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?

I am wondering about trying Vyvance to treat narcolepsy. I currently take dextrostat 30 mg 3 times a day and since it is now generic dextrostat, it is absolutely not effective at all. Can I have feedback either on Vyvanse or any other drugs that you have found to be effective. Thank you and I look forward to your replies ## my brother in law's brother has had this problem for years and believe it or not he takes ritilin(I hope spelled right has helped him (no problems or side effects.

Learn more Vyvanse details here. Learn more Adderall details here. That would give everyone a better idea of which direction to point you in. ## I know there are a lot of people out there that use Adderall as a study drug , to get the rush etc. But some of these questions are crazy. This is what gives Adderall I bad rap. I was diagnosed with ADHD and I am an adult that has always had problems and just thought It was me. After being prescribed Adderall it finally felt normal if I even know what normal is. I guess I can put it as I am finally were I feel like I can accomplish something. It is really hard to describe ...

hey so I am 17 year old and i had my first time using vyvance today. My friend gave me about 3\4 of a 50 mg pill and i took it at 8:30 pm in school. For the first 4 hours i was extremly motivated to do work and happy.I knew exactly what was going on in my class and felt incredibly social. Even though i was feeling good i felt a little weird and had little energy rushes every once in a while. By 2 pm , i was starting to feel nervous and could really feel my heart beating fast. At the time, i was taking a test and had to ask my teacher to go to the nurses because i thought i was going to pass out and something was not normal. At the nurses my blood pressure dramatically increased and i got this weird feeling of numbness and little light pins on my arms and legs. Also, i felt like i was sa...

Adderall, or "mixed amphetamine salts combo" is a generic drug put out bt Teva and Shire. The prodrugs, Vyvance, and XL or LA formulas claim better blood levels thoughout the day and QD dosing. Psychiatrists aren't the only ones who prescibe these. AND you DO NOT GROW OUT OF THE CONDITION BECAUSE YOU ARE OLDER. Watch your BP THOUGH. Do not combine other sympathomemetic amine like phentermine, phendimetrazine, or caffeine. Using sedatives to overcome the stimulation is unwise. As the mere possession of anorexients and sedatives are a red flag. The use of stimulents are controversial, but if you are cleared by your Dr. it may offer good efficacious Tx for adult deficit disorder. Usually, the cause may be premature birth, prenatal smoking or drug use or unknown ideopathic etiology

My adult daughter is displaying increased agitation and anger since she is on Vyvance. She has been off it for 2 or 3 days and is feeling horrible. I do not think she ever had ADD or ADHD when the doc prescribed the med. I feel she has been displaying symptoms of ADHD - confusion, irritation, hyperactivity, impulsiveness, etc, since being on the Vyvance. Has anyone had similar experiences?? ## Vyvanse contains the active ingredient Lisdexamfetamine, so it is a stimulant, commonly used to treat ADHD and Narcolepsy. However, these can be side effect for some people, even if they do have ADHD. It can cause: insomnia, irritabillity, agression and nervousness. There are non-stimulant options available that may be better for her. Has she spoken to her doctor about these issues? You can read m...

Are the prodrugs (successfully superior) to ordinary mixed Amphet. Salts Combos. (Immediate release) vyvance patches, long acting 12 h better in the long run? I have far better control with taking them am and 12 noon. Otherwise, sleepiness interruption. ## There is really no way to say one drug is better than another, because we are all different, so what works well for one person, might not work at all for you, and vice-versa. ADHD information What medication have you been prescribed, and how is it working? The FDA warns that most stimulant medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as headache, anorexia, nervousness, and insomnia.

Do 50mg vyvanse taste like sugar? ## It's probably too late but anyways... they do/did make 70mg vyvance my brother was prescribed these back in late 2014 ## As for the taste I'm curious. I thought they tasted salty but I opened my bottle (it looked weird) and decided to taste them and it was like semi sweet flour, lol. ## Hello Sadie May, Most credible sources won't really specify the taste of a medication but looking around I have found users of various forums claiming that they do in fact have a rather sweet flavor. I cannot confirm or deny that this is true as I do not take them myself but that does tend to be the general consensus among people on the internet. Hope this helps. ## I dont think they have any taste at all in none of them..the highest dose is 70 mg..and the...

Sorry if I'm repeating myself, but does anybody know anything about Hypercon 10? I got it in the mail from London . They sent me this instead of vyvance which is for ADD. Any thought? Thanks. Lorelle ## I ordered vyvance from a pharmacy in London and was given Hypercon 10. I wanted a script of adderall or vyvance.That is what I ordered. I believet that Hypercon 10 is for the same thing but it is more of a homeopathic approach to ADD. i don't want a homeopathic approach. I don't even want to take this med. I want to know if anyone has taken Hypercon 10 and what does it do? Any thouhts anyone? ## Hello, Lorelle! How are you? Since it is a foreign medication, I can't tell you what you have with any certainty. However, if it is Hypercon, then it is the incorrect drug, becaus...

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...

I suffer from high anxiety, ADHD and minor depression. Last week I talked to my doctor and he prescribed me 50 mg Pristiq for the anxiety and 30 mg Vyvanse for ADHD. I have been taking both as directed, the Vyvance in the morning and the Pristiq at night before bed. So far the Vyvanse is working well for me. I feel much more focused, have more energy, and have been more social and more productive at work- just an overall better mood. The problem is that about 7 or 8 hrs after taking the Vyvanse it starts wearing off and I start feeling extremely anxious and can't sleep. The doctor said the Pristiq takes at least 2-3 weeks to start working, so I'm not sure how that will effect me yet. I read that sleeplessness is a common side effect of both of these drugs, but I can't stand ...
