vyvanse and mood swings

I started to try different doses of Vyvanse and Adderall, starting at 10mg Vyvanse and going up to 50mg, and starting at 5mg Adderall (IR) and increasing to 10, at most, 4x a day. All of these medications seemed to increase my depressive symptoms, and since I wasn't really retaining much or cognizant of how I was doing, I ended up going three weeks without touching my homework, going to class or talking to my friends.

Ever sense I started taking Vyvanse I have been acting a little OCD, having minor headaches, having major mood swings, a decrease of weight and appetite, and several other side effects. Ond of those is that I cant sleep. I'm almost positive that my medicine is causing an increase of anxiety when I'm trying to sleep. (It feels like no matter how much air I breathe in, that i'm just not getting enough oxygen.

The dex has been great for Improving my focus, has stopped my excessive day dreaming ( I used to walk around with my head phones in and dance and day dream for hours and hours) has improved my work life and I am actually organised for the first time in my life.

t know how old your son is but I have a 7 year old grandson that is on foclin for ADHD and recently been put on tryleptal 300 mg. due to mood swings and not sleeping. This has been wonderful concerning sleeping he takes half dosage in morning and the whole pill at night.

My son is 6 and is also diagnosed with autism at first they said he was adhd and bipolar but just recently they changed that diagnoses to just autism they said there was no need for a adhd diagnoses because most autistic kids also have all the adhd symptoms as well.

I recently had to switch my add meds from adderall xr to vyvanse and I am on day 2 and I feel like I havnt taken anything. I am extremely tired, have anxiety with everything going on around me at once, and I cant concentrate at all, I walked around my kitchen for 15 minutes not knowing why i wass but knew there was a reason then finally got my car keys that i was needing to get in the first place. Is this normal?

I am taking Vyvanse and Prozac, and I'm having trouble getting myself to eat. I am still in a healthy weight range, so I'm not worried about that. But I've been weak, fatigued, and dizzy at times because I'm not eating enough. Are there any protein shakes I should try, or something like that, so I can be getting the nutrients I need? I hate most protein shakes because I can't stand the texture, and they're usually gross. But I have to do something.

All my bf does is work and then come home and play video games all the time. I am working but got my hrs severely cut after the holidays so i am home alone a lot. It gives my mind way too much time to think! Im afraid to end up raising this baby alone. Just really need to talk to someone.

I have been extremely emotional lately. It *****. Every time someone says something or does something, it irritates the crap out of me. I'm taking it out on my friends, coworker, my coworkers and especially my boyfriend, the father of my child. It's getting old. It's not like me to be like this. I'm usually chipper, now its more getting irritated and/or start cruing. Anyone else feel like this and does anyone have any advice?

m 9w2d and was wondering if any other mummies to be are experiencing very high mood swings I seem to get very angry really quickly and I assume every remark said is stupid. How can I fix this problem? And btw it's only with my husband most of the time.

Let me introduce my self. I am 43 yo, married for 6 years and I had my second ovary removed at age 37, after already having my uterus and 1st ovary removed in 1998 and 2000. (I also had a lung transplant 8 years ago). I had all the typical symptoms of menopause even though mine was surgical menopause. My ongoing problem is severe mood swings. About 5 years ago I found myself actually hysterical and didn't know what to do.

I am a 23 years old woman and I have been struggling with mood changes what seems forever. I've never felt "normal", whatever this means. I have never reacted to some sorts of situations the same way other people do. Since I can remember everything starts pretty much like this: I am full of energy, felling extremely well about myself and I usually get a load of things to be done that is above heavy.

If he laughs then he understands its just your hormones i know how you feel . I yell at my bf and he just smiles and starts rubbing my hair and i shut up and everything is okay lol .

You are most def not alone! I sat at my desk at work and cried ALL day yesterday. I'm only 5 weeks and I hope that it gets better b/c I'm going through a lot of tissue. I just joined this site yesterday and I have found the the women on here are so supportive and full of good advice which has helped me a lot in the past 24hrs. Whenever I feel like I'm about to cry or get upset, I just log on and reach out to someone who knows what I'm going through (another pregnant woman).

I just recently found out i was pregnant, and my boyfriend and i couldnt be happier. But I am always moody towards him, and i am never in the mood to be touched. I am scared if i keep this up, I will push him away.He is already keeping his distance. Does anyone have any good tips for me? I feel awful and I want to be able to control it. Is it possiable that maybe he is just not understanding? and i am over looking everything? Thank You!

i try and tell my boyfriend that i am going through a lot of changes and i cannot control my emotions some times, he doesn't believe me and says that i need to just deal with it better, how do i cope with these wild emotions and how he treats it all like a joke no matter what I say?

Haha omg. We talk about everything from the beginning about being pregnant. And all week he just, drives me up the wall! And I'm really sarcastic and mean, it just flows out.. then two seconds later I'm like "oh my god baby I'm really sorry I didn't mean it I love you" hahaha! He understands but I feel bad... hoorrmoonnesss.

I am six weeks and i am crying and sad over small stuff. Been trying to potty train my two yr old with not much luck. I think that might be part of it. Is this normal to have so early and what can i do to help work through it?? Also will this mean that i will have postpartum after the baby comes? I was fine last time during and after.

I feel bad cuz my mood swings r terrible, and the mood that is most prominent is bad....my poor hubby got his head bit off this morning along with my son and my friend from church....anyone else moody?

Make him read a bout pregnancy mood swings. i'm almost 3 months pregnant and I'm having the worst mood swings ever. But he read a lot about pregnancy symptoms and he knows its not my fault....

Anyone having mood swings and you just get in this funk to where you just shut down and don't care to talk to anyone?

But my fiance has been very understanding and just brings up stuff about our baby and my mood goes from a ad and mad to excited and happy. So now I just think about my little baby boy and how I can't wait to hold him and hear his first words and everything whenever I'm getting moody. You could try that. I hope that helps a little.

My drs attribute my anxiety/mood swings to having an anxiety disorder..but after reading all this, I understand why the medication doesnt work. Its really cool to know that we can talk about all this without feeling judged since we are all in the same boat. My family thinks Ive gone insane...they just dont get it.

Lately I have been getting mood swings which result mostly in fights or money... my boyfriend says I've lost my personality and I'm not the same person I was before... any stories from mom on how there man feels about this same or different?? And any suggestions on how to make him understand my bodies changing and not me??

Is anyone else dealing with having mood swings and / or being grumpy??!? I find myself these days extremely sensitive & irritable!! I don't seem to have the patience I had before ... and at times feel as though I am crying for no reason.. Anyone else experiencing this?

Do you know whos experiencing mood swings??? My husband...hahaha! I dont know why...hes grumpy one minute and jolly the next minute.

I have mood swings as well like if i want certain food or if people call me when i want alone time then i get upset when ppl dont call..

m feeling a bit on the bi-polor side of things. Has anyone found ways to help with mood swings and feel more like yourselves again? This is the part of pregnancy I hated the most, and with my first I had horrible mood swings the entire pregnancy :( Any foods help? I'm doing Yoga, but it's just once a week class, and with added stress of looking for a job while pregnant, ugh, I just don't know what to do!
