Common Questions and Answers about Vyvanse dosage compared to adderall

vyvanse

Avatar f tn Adderall 10 mg = Vyvanse 30 mg, Adderall 20 mg = Vyvanse 50 mg, Adderall 30 mg = Vyvanse 70 mg. I always start lower than expected with a change to Vyvanse, as for about 10-15% that anticipated dose of Vyvanse proves too much. I don’t want folks on my watch to experience 10% problems." I would also check the comments in the above link and some of them might apply to you. the link is - http://www.corepsych.
Avatar f tn Also the Dose of V should be 30mg compared to 10mgs of adderall XR to be somewhat equal.

990354 tn?1307132886 I started out on Vyvanse, then due to insurance went to generic Adderall. I found Vyvanse to work much better, so I think I solved the insurance problem and I'm going to go back on Vyvance soon after I finish my Adderall generic. I found no transition problem between the two medicines. All these meds are really the same sort of thing. But it isn't wise to mix medicines. I know doctors would not like this.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn Hi guys, I know it's been some time since I last posted something. I was able to get the 120 mg of Adderall xr , and I was feeling better. I wanted to give Dexedrine a chance so as to take a break from Adderall, I was given Dexedrine spansules 90 mg. It is smoother compared to the Adderall, but it doesn't last long as the 120 of Adderall. Dexedrine did bring hope to me as in being another choice other than Adderall, but the 90 mg is not doing it.
Avatar f tn I'm not a member of this Forum but read your post. While I haven't been labelled with the same things you have, I have experienced and felt so much of what you described. Just a question - why is Vyvanse not approved for use by adults? What is it and what does it do? If it helped why can't you still take it? Ironically, a lot of my anxiety and depression occurred when I was nearly finished my PhD.

It doesn't sound like the Genetic testing is worth the money. Yes, increasing the meds might be a good idea. I would be tempted to try a 40 Vyvanse. Definitely show your dosage information to your doctor.
Avatar m tn My doc prescribed me 70mg Vyvanse, to compare with my Adderall dose previously prescribed. When feeling the effects of Vyvanse it is truly a saving grace and I really feel "limitless". I think clear, I don't feel over stimulated or the out of body experience like other ADHD drugs. I'm in an industry that I must utilize critical problem solving skills, think extremely creative and relay high end technical knowledge to CIO's and executives on a daily basis.

3063045 tn?1340654053 Yep, Noticed you said Adderall. His dosage was about right for Adderall. Way off for V which you said you were on. Wonder if he got mixed up?

Avatar f tn My pharmacy told her my dosage was never that high which is a lie. She wants to switch me to something else but doesnt really know what, and i wouldnt mind trying other things if it would help me 16 hours a day. Problem is im scared she dunno whats best to switch me to or if she should switch me to something and then still provide me with a single dose of adderall? What works best for y'all if you've grown tolerant to adderall?

But of course the pill doesn't come that way. You might ask what she thinks about starting him out at 10mgs? Hope this helps. Let me know how the prescription card works from the Indiana site.
1549092 tn?1297046311 My 16 year old son has been on Vyvanse for almost 4 years. Vyvanse has caused major anxiety and symptoms of OCD. A couple of months ago I had to take him to the emergency room because he was having heart pains and his left arm was numb. After cutting his dose from 50 mg to 40 mgs, the symptoms went away after 24 hours. I now have him on 30 mg and I'm in the process of weaning him off. The risks are too high compared to the benefits.
Avatar m tn I also told him about the crash in the middle of the day, and he prescribed Adderall at 10mg IR, to be taken in the afternoons. He also increased the Vyvanse dosage to 40mg. During the next week, I started exhibiting the behaviors that I associate with my depressive symptoms. However, since the Vyvanse makes me lose touch with reality, to some extent, and slows my thoughts significantly, I wasn't really aware of it.
Avatar f tn spending money you needed for other truly important things to supplement your dosage; 3. exceeding the prescribed dosage because you felt like you "had" to have some feeling or instant gratification you got from the med; 4. exceeding the prescribed dosage because you felt icky or lousy or uncomfortable in some way when the med was wearing off, or once it had completely worn off; 5. used other drugs along with the Adderall because the combination felt good; 6.
Avatar f tn he faked being ADHD???to get vyvanse from her. How the hell to you do that? And be on Ambian and restoril and Xanax??????? How unethical is that? I went with him to his shrinks office and she took him off the ambian and "dosed" him down on vyvanse...this was last June 2011. He was unwilling to end it entirely by late Nov. I ended it. These shrinks should have their licenses yanked! I was put thru hell for 3 yrs. not knowing about the vyvanse.
Avatar m tn I am really sensitive to medications. Adderall was like what I imagine taking crystal methamphetamine feels like. At least I felt like how those people looked. I have been on Vyvanse for a while now. And was worried when they doctor said it was very similar to Adderall XR. But he promised me that the issues I was having with feeling ill, insomnia, and no appitite would lessen on Vyvanse. And that the nasty, gross stimulant feeling I got from Adderall would go away.
1218509 tn?1267490923 I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 9 years old. Currently I am on Adderall, because Vyvanse was too expensive when I didn't have insurance. I took 60 mg of Vyvanse for three to four months, back in mid-2009; it was absolutely amazing. It was very smooth, it lasted around the 12-14 hours my Psychiatrist said it would, and I did not give me any side effects. I would highly recommend Vyvanse to anyone who needs a ADHD/ADD medication.
Avatar f tn I had an allergic reaction to both, Adderall and Vyvanse, and my body refuses to metabolize these type of drugs properly. What do I do now? Just take Wellbutrin XL 150 for life? I'm a total disaster at work w/out the stimulants. Anyone knows of alternatives? I do take Omega-3s, vitamins, acetyl l-carnitine etc.
Avatar m tn Vyvanse is a newer ADD med and I specifically requested something other than Adderall due to side affects. My doctor explained to me that because Vyvanse has a very good time release the boost is similar however not as overbearing and much easier as it wears off than Adderall because the "come down" or "crash" does not cause such a severe low. All ADD meds have their down side and generally the anti depressant is the counteract to this.
Avatar n tn What forms do people use to abuse Adderall. Do they take to many? Do the crush them up and eat them? Do they crush them up and possibly snort them? Or are there other ways for my 16 year old daughter to abuse the medication that I am not aware of?
Avatar m tn I also told him about the crash in the middle of the day, and he prescribed Adderall at 10mg IR, to be taken in the afternoons. He also increased the Vyvanse dosage to 40mg.

447130 tn?1225470866 I used to be on Vyvanse and Adderall twice daily. It worked well. I have been off them for years until a month ago. Dr put me on 70 mg of Vyvanse but no adderall. I have been unmotivated, tired and in a fog. I have hypothyroidism too and reduced my dosage so that didn't help either. Talking to Dr tomorrow and get the meds straight. Rather have racing thoughts than be stuck in a fog and can't do anything.
Avatar n tn Like tam97 said, tolerance is a natural part of taking any stimulant medication. Your body adjusts to it. I'm not advertising anything, I'm not a doctor, but I'll just point out that Adderall is the best for appetite suppression, and as far as I know doesn't make you fall asleep (quite the opposite, really, it beats No-Doze any day!). I think you won't have any problems with tolerance for at LEAST several months before you have to change the dosage, though.
Avatar m tn as the Vyvanse only seems to cover me from 7am to about 2pm. I was on 100% d-amp but just yesterday switched to a new drug (Evekeo) which is 50% d-amp and 50% l-amp.. Will be posting a question on that as well... I guess my point is I really like Vyvanse in comparison to the IR's in that it is MUCH smoother. I have also dealt with anxiety and depression my whole life and am on 50mg Pristiq as well. Basically Efexxor but has a different pharmacology.
Avatar n tn So now I toyed around myself with different milligram dosage amounts of my Vyvanse, and at the amount I was able to actually notice it becoming effective, I would be embarrassed and afraid to explain to my psychiatrist what I've done, just trying to stay awake. and now for the past week of doing this before discovering an amount that would work I have almost depleted 60 total Vyvanse capsules prescribed in a 30-day prescription in 11 days.
