Common Questions and Answers about Vyvanse and vision problems

vyvanse

Avatar m tn I started to feel very dizzy around that time after I ate (not sure if it was the food tho, not like it was the first time in my life eating them). But I was having a hard time focusing on something without having a double vision and slightly blurry vision when I try hard to adjust my vision. I started to unconsciously approach the monitor during that like I am being drawn toward it. I felt some subtle waves of a headache in my head but there was no remarkable headache. my right ear hurts.

Avatar f tn Adderol is like Special Forces who goes in to accomplish a specialized mission, and then leaves.. On the other hand, Vyvanse is the army, does all the heavy lifting and 95% of everything else. I am not addressing drug addiction — just what my doctor says is a common prescribing practice with Vyvanse.
Avatar f tn t blurry. I current have Growth Hormone Disorder and take Norditropin, Vyvanse and Lexapro. My father, mother and brother all wear glasses because they're nearsighted. I have constant headaches and when I put them on they didn't hurt as much but when I took them off they started again. I've noticed for a little while I've needed to squint and stuff to see further away things. I don't really want to wear glasses, I would more want contacts. But do I need eye support?
Avatar f tn After I left the office, I was thinking about what she said, and recalled that she asked me if I had any double vision, and I had told her that I did not. While discussing this with my boyfriend, I mentioned what I have assumed to be something that happens to everyone; occasional double vision. When I "relax" my eyes, or "unfocus" them, I see double. He just seemed confused, he said he had to really try and concentrate to make his vision double.
Avatar m tn I checked for side effects for Vyvanse but aside from stomach pain, and diarrhea no other relatable side effects were shown. I was curious if anyone taking this medication or similar type of medication has experience this or been able to manage this issue.
Avatar f tn My 10 year old son, who is ADHD, was taking 30 mg of Vyvanse and it worked fine for like a month and half. The doctor increased his dosage to 40 mg and it was working great, but again the effects seemed to have diminished in two months. The doctor recommended to keep him in the 40 mg of Vyvanse, which he takes in the morning, and in the evening give him 1 mg of Intuniv. Do you know if that will help with his concentration at school?
Avatar f tn He takes 50 mg of Vyvanse daily and was wondering if anyone has experienced this side effect with Vyvanse. Thank you.
Avatar m tn Do not share it with others. Abuse of Vyvanse may cause serious heart problems, blood vessel problems, or sudden death.
Avatar f tn I have ADD, which was caused by my exposition to 300 ppm carbon monoxide as a kid. I recently started taking Vyvanse, which durasticaly improved my grades, but has left me with some side effects that I don't know how to deal with. But, I don't want to have to stop taking Vyvanse. 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.

Avatar f tn When i was about 5 or 7 years old thats when my doctor told my mom i have ADHD. My doctor gave me to take Vyvanse and Strattera. The Vyvanse i take is 60mg capsules and for Strattera i take 60mg capsules to. I had problems over the years. I get distracted very easily but i try not to look or be distracted but its hard sometimes. especially when people are talking, making noise and being annoying is distracting me. There are other stuff i turn my attention to though.
Avatar n tn My question is this: Has anyone taken adhd medication such as vyvanse and is in recovery from adrugs and alcohol?
Avatar f tn Well, it was not the Lithium that caused the twitching, as I had a Lithium level drawn after stopping it and the Vyvanse, and my level was a little bit low, indicating that it had probably been at normal levels just a day or two before. Now I have a script for Concerta to replace the Vyvanse, I am just waiting on insurance's prior authorization. I am still on the Prozac and am back on Abilify. The twitching slowly subsided, as did the eye pain, nausea, and dizziness.
Avatar m tn I take Vyvanse 20mg. I received a new batch from Express Scripts yesterday and they felt different so I started looking at the capsules and they are only half full. I called Express Scripts and they said that it was probably just settling from shipping. But I've never had that happen before. Not sure where to go from here or who to call. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Avatar f tn She is really pushing Vyvanse even though I told her I am an addict and one of my drugs of choice was Adderal which the Rehab says is actually "speed". Isn't Vyvance a type of "speed" also. I desperately want help but not enough to risk getting back into abusing yet another substance and give up my sobriety date. She says she will only give me 7 at a time which will keep me from getting addicted but I can still abuse. I need advise. This scares me. Thanks!
Avatar f tn I take 50mg of Vyvanse daily and have allergies ever now and then. Is it ok to take Benadryl while I'm taking Vyvanse?
Avatar f tn I know he is not abusing the Vyvanse, but can the Vyvanse be increasing his want of the alcohol and the coke? The warnings for the drug say do not take this medicine if you have addiction issues. Is this because it could put you back into the addiction cycle with any drug, or because there is fear of abusing the vyvanse, or both? He doesn't seem to wind down at night and is sleeping only 5 or less hours a night. I am confused here and don't know what to do.
Avatar m tn Try taking your blood pressure a few times on the Vyvanse and off the Vyvanse, at similar times of day and under similar circumstances. Depending on the results, you may need to talk to the doctor that is prescribing the Vyvanse to see if there is something else that can help your ADHD. I do agree with Yvette BG's other comments, above.
Avatar f tn Im a 19 years old boy and i have tried vyvanse which did miracles at first at 20mg until the effect decreased and had to go up to 60mg with no effects except the bad ones and went back to my old self(lazy, tired, unmotivated etc.). I am now on concerta 36mg and it seems like working but not all the time and clearly not as much as first time vyvanse.
Avatar f tn ve heard a lot about peoples positive experiences with Vyvanse. I know that everyone is different, and different meds work for different people, but seeing as Vyvanse is still in the same "family" of stimulants, I'm worried to get too hopeful. I.e have I already ruined my chances with Vyvanse due to my adderall use? Has anyone who responded positively to Adderall initially, and then experienced a large decrease in effectiveness, had luck with switching to Vyvanse?
665851 tn?1225826009 She was constantly biting or cutting her nails until her fingers and toes would bleed, pulling out her eyebrows, and more. She has been off the Vyvanse for almost one week and I am still seeing some OCD behavior. She had absolutely no signs of OCD prior to Vyvanse. This has just added to the problems we were trying to fix. After blogging this I discovered that there are many more people who have developed OCD while taking Vyvanse.
Avatar f tn No dose seemed to fit for me. But, I lost the weight I was needing to lose (20 lbs) and if I go off Vyvanse, will it come back on with a vengance? I have heard hunger just is out of control when stopping this drug. So I am afraid to stay on it and I am afraid to go off it.
Avatar f tn I'm 32 years old and have struggled with both Adhd and weight problems. I went to see my doctor and he put me on phentermine 37.5mg once a day and topamax 23 mg in half doeses twice dailey. I also take adderall 20mg twice Dailey. I asked him if theses two meds who interact with one another and his response was no . I guess my question is how do I safely spread them out during the day. It seems I can't get it right because when I take either or I get very anxious .
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn However, it can lead to adverse effects such as irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure and a variety of psychological problems as well as may interact with other medications including chemotherapeutic agents. How bad it could get depends on a variety of factors including the diagnosis, medical history, the amount of meth used as well as overall health. Talk to your doctor about this for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn My friend daughter is taking adderall and vyvanse together for school but she been having more problems with her misbehaving is this normal.
