vyvanse

Avatar f tn My question is about my current dosage of Adderall. But first, I'd like to share my background with those of you reading this. Bear with me, this post is very long. I was finishing the last months of undergrad I found myself extremely depressed. It came to the point where I could not wake up in the morning without crying. I was thinking of committing suicide nearly every single day. I couldn't put my finger on what was causing the depression.

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.
Avatar m tn Sometimes I take dextroamph without vyvanse, sometimes I take one dex with vyvanse. What I am doing basically is experimenting the best dosage and combination. But I did not overdose. I measured my blood pressure just a moiment ago and it was 128/85 pulses: 91) Also: my doctor changed my Wellbutrin dosage from 100 SR once a day to 100 SR twice a day.
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 n tn This seems to occur more often in adults with heart problems. If a person has been taking Vyvanse evidence of this drug can be detectable in the urine from 1 to 3 days and even 5 days .It is best to see a doctor if the symptoms are severe. I sincerely hope it helps. Best wishes and regards!
990354 tn?1307132886 m currently on vyvanse 50mg in the morning WITH. Adderall 10mg , and in the after noon I take another 10mg adderall. The best person to talk to is the psychiatrist and being completely honest with WHY your son took it together with vyvanse... the therapist might just prescribe him adderall twice a day. It's honestly a bigger deal that you're looking online. People without ADHD will quickly assume it will turn into an addiction, he's abusing, etc.
Avatar f tn 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. behaved weirdly or inappropriately; 7. were getting way too little sleep or eating way too little food; 8.
Avatar f tn I have taken Zoloft on and off for some time with no major issues, but my anxiety would increase whenever I started, stopped, or adjusted dosage. Are you on Vyvanse for ADD? I think it is a stimulant and they can defiinitely raise your anxiety in my opinion. I have been on a different one with success, but have you been throwing up before you took the medication?
Avatar n tn 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. I am working on lowering my methadone at the clinic right now but I believe I will have to get off of the Vyvanse if I want to eliminate these bonus side effects have been feeling that are absolutely life debilitating.

There is also a good chance that when you tried the adderall, you took too much. With all the these meds, you need to start slowly and let your body get used to them. Same thing might be true for the V. At any rate, do talk with your doc after reading up some more on V. This also might help - http://www.addadhdblog.
1218509 tn?1267490923 I started taking Vyvanse two years ago. I am skeptical of putting drugs in my body so I split the dosage in half; 20mg once a day. Within an hour I found myself to be in a much improved control over myself and I was able to concentrate and think clearly. I didn't clinch my teeth hardly at all and my wife shared my mood was substantially more positive and my outlook more optimistic.
Avatar f tn Certain medications can cause side effects in many of us that take it. Vyvanse is a stimulant, which in my experience actually helped me focus in the long term (I took another type in the same class) Initially, I was nervous about taking it because I thought it would make my anxiety worse, but these types of medications can "calm the mind" with those with ADD or ADHD in my experience with them. Have you talked to your doctor about it?
Avatar f tn I'm 16 years old, male, 6'3", 185 lbs. I have been prescribed Vyvanse to treat my ADD symptoms for about two years (currently at 70mg), and the results have been amazing. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA or higher in every grading period so far in my highschool career. But, I have recently noticed that I often get dizzy while doing cardio workouts, and a dangerously high heart rate. However, I'm in no means out of shape, and am extremely ripped.
Avatar f tn 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 m tn Oppps, they are still blocking that site for some weird reason, just put ************ before the ******* and you are good to go.

Avatar m tn Do not stop the drug without consulting your doctor, who may supervise a gradual reduction in dosage. Possible Adverse Effects Headache/ nervousness - common Insomnia/anxiety - common Nausea/diarrhea - common Weight loss - common Drowsiness -rare Sexual dysfunction -rare Rash -rash This information is from The Canadian Guide to Drugs and Supplements.
Avatar n tn Has your mom tried to reduce the number of medicines. Maybe try Vyvanse only in a small dosage to begin with. I also agree with DFW670 that your nephew needs to be correctly diagnosed by a specialist in children's mental health. Do not give him any medication without a proper diagnosis from a respected specialist. His general primary doctor is not qualified to manage these medicines. He needs to refer your mom and nephew to a specialist.
Avatar m tn I'm not sure if this is in the right place, but i need help so i'm going to ask it. i am 18 years old & have been taking vyvanse for about a month now. i slowly increased my dosage and i am up to 30mg currently. i'm starting to realize i am becoming depressed and i'm always in a bad mood, especially for the passed 3 days. friday, i smoked a very large amount of marijuana and took an ecstasy pill.
Avatar m tn I just want to comment on the Vyvanse. I am also a recovering Alcoholic / Pain Pill addict and was recently diagnosed with Adult ADHD. I was prescribed (by my Psych that was with me during recovery) Vyvanse. I was scared as hell, rightfully so but so far it has changed my life. I finally feel normal. He also gave me a 10mg "booster" as the Vyvanse only seems to cover me from 7am to about 2pm.
Avatar f tn My son currently takes vyvanse for his adhd wich seems to be helping him alot in school,but he has been taking geodon and clonidine for about 6 weeks or so and he has become alot more aggressive once he vyvanse weres off he is totally out of control phyc says leave him on it since he gets good sleep but everything i a constant fight and he tears everything up wich he did prior to the meds but he just seems worse could he be taking the wrong mix of medicines or does it just take more time worried
