Common Questions and Answers about What is vyvanse used for

vyvanse

Avatar n tn Well, its most common use is for anxiety - which is fairly common for people with ADHD. You can read more about it here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propranolol What I don't understand is why your doctor didn't explain this to you. Especially if you are prone to anxiety, the not knowing only makes it worse.
Avatar m tn Amphetamine is speed. It is a controlled prescription substance, but is also found on the street and is illegal in that form. Street names are meth, crank, crystal. If this was also found in your urine along with the clonazepam, and you did not take either, then it would be good to see if you can retake the urine test.
Avatar n tn Has anyone tried the drug vyvance for CFS...it is typically used for ADD. My lyme disease doctor suggested it and says those with lyme disease who suffer with fatigue has benefitted from it. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried it.
1401877 tn?1288107639 I have narcolepsy and when my sleep neurologist sent a list of possible narcolepsy meds to my cardiologist for approval (as in, which ones would be okay for my dysauto), the drug that is almost identical to Vyvanse was crossed off the list entirely by my cardiologist. Provigil was given the OK as the first choice (though cautioned that it still could have an impact--indeed it did, and I especially struggled tapering on to it).
14987738 tn?1437742035 t eat I still have the pain, my stomach constantly burns and aches but I pushed through the pain of eating so maybe the pain would stop but no it gotten worse, I heard vyvanse can shrink your stomach is that true? I know someone who was on 70mg of vyvanse and their stomach was deteriorating so the person had to stop vyvanse, I'm worried for my health mainly my stomach, my lack of appetite can that be why I get random bruises all the time that take forever to go away? Should I stop vyvanse?
Avatar f tn im on the highest dosage of vyvanse and its supposed to last longer than addorall but it seems to be working less and less...is that possible?? im sick of insurance not paying for this medication yet not getting any other substantial benifit from vyvanse, anyone else experience a increased tolerence to any add meds?

Avatar f tn Vyvanse is only approved for children aged 6-12. My son is 11 and is on this and it has been the best med that we have used. We have tried ritalin, concerta, adderall, and focalin. My son has done wonderful on vyvanse but again he is 11. My doctor stated that any child under 6 should not use this if you would like to see any results and it could harm them as well as any stimulant meds.
Avatar m tn Hi! So I just had to come to google to see why my Vyvanse wasn't working for me anymore, and I saw your comment.. I have been on Vyvanse for maybe a year now and have found that my 70 mg dosage just isn't kicking in or working as well as it used to for me anymore?? So is this happening with you as well? Like it's still really hard for me to focus, and I really don't feel the effect of the medicine at all anymore. I wonder whats happening?
Avatar n tn I was just wondering if she was doing that because it makes her or she is doing for some other reason (i dont what other reason there would be to snorting it if it doesnt make you high.

Avatar n tn i am not a doctor but I can say that I was on Vyvnase 60 mg per day and experimented with opiates including methadone, for chronic pain, chronic bowel issues and for Opiate addiction. I was talking between 10 and 40 mgs of methadone. What you can expect is a severe decrease in the efficacy of your ADD meds Vyvanse. You will feel tired, or easily exhausted, if you are a man you will likely have a decrease in the amount of testosterone in your system.
Avatar n tn In fact, you say, there are so many things that can help cure these kids. You have no idea what ADHD is. It cannot be cured. It is with you for life. The goal is to learn how to deal and live with it.
Avatar f tn Ie no anxiety ect, but that doesnt last, vyvanse is not used for controlling anxiety and often exacerbates it instead in some people
Avatar m tn That would indicate that you are now taking more V then you are used to from the 18 of concerta - which is kind of what I suspected (if the link is correct). Ya, you do need to talk to your doc. From this link - http://addadhdblog.com/vyvanse-dosage-how-to-get-the-right-dose/?doing_wp_cron=1390777491.
Avatar m tn That is the same problem you are having. It is very weak for me now. I have to get my meds adjusted to 40mg. It is difficult for me to stay awake without a sufficient stimulant. So this is kind of a problem.
1575110 tn?1334664635 The truth is the chemistry in all of our brains vary. There is no remedy or cure that is garunteed results for everyone. I have tried Concerta the come downs were terrible. I took Vyvanse and I just didn't find myself concerned or interested in anything. I took Dexedrine and it's a miracle drug. Less amphetamines than adderall and a lot smoother especially if you experience anxiety attacks!
Avatar m tn Vyvanse is not a good medicine for people with high blood pressure and you might talk with your doctor and see if there are alternatives. Beta blockers do antagonize the effects of vyvanse. Maybe a calcium channel blocker or an ACE inhibitor would be better--but first check and see if Vyvanse is a must for you.
Avatar n tn I'm taking Vyvanse and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Sometimes I just want to sleep all day and never feel the effects of increased focus, motivation, interest, and energy. I'm on a low dose of 30 mg, but because I do feel the effects sometimes I'm wondering if it's a problem with my digestion at times and some inability to metabolize the vyvanse for it to work properly.
Avatar n tn i have a long day and take vyvanse very early it is suposed to last 12 hrs but i think more like 7 i read that people take boosters with it i still have ritalin cause i just switched 2 weeks ago to 70 mg vyvanse and it doesnt do anything anymore did the vyvanse make it so it no longer works what is the best way to go about this aftr work i take care of my kids all night and have been lacking energy and very short with them which isnt fair cause it is not their fault id ask my dr but he would jus
Avatar f tn On the drug test aspect, Vyvanse is out of your system exponentially faster than Adderall. The half life of V is 47 minutes compared to a half life of 9-14 hours for Adderall. Example for those unaware how half-lifes of drugs work. 2 subjects; 1 takes 30mg of V, other takes 30mg of Adderall at 12pm. In 47 minutes @ 12:47pm, there will be 15mg (or half original dose) of the parent drug in V user's system.
Avatar f tn Strattera is a non stimulant med used for ADHD. Whether or not it would be effective for you, I don't know. This site lists almost all possible treatment options. Although for some reason, I couldn't find Strattera listed, so you need to google that. The site is http://www.healing-arts.org/children/ADHD/medications.htm And the following site also lists (with info) non stimulant meds (they do mention strattera). http://www.baltimorepsych.com/NonStimulants.
Avatar f tn Melatonin may work for sleep. I wouldn't recommend taking trazadone medication for boys or men it could cause priapism.
1218509 tn?1267490923 t clinch my teeth hardly at all and my wife shared my mood was substantially more positive and my outlook more optimistic. I heard vyvanse is used for ADHD and ADD but the drug, even at 20mg (lasting 8-10hours) has positive impacts on the psycho-social arena. I know of other veterans who the VA put on psycho meds and its tearing up their lifes and the meds they are taking have horrific side effects such as obesity and loss of sight and risk of heart failure....way to go VA...
Avatar f tn I am just trying to figure out the risk/benefit of this cocktail. The Vyvanse is already worth it b/c I can focus and it is WAY better than Ritalin plus it suppresses my appetite during the day. After a week of taking it however, I noticed it is not suppressing my appetite like it did at first and I wonder if this is where the other meds would jump in and keep me from being hungry (of course it could also be that I am extra hungry b/c I started my period?).
Avatar f tn A child without ADHD should react to even a slight amount of the stimulant being used. And vyvanse, I believe, is not a med that one has to take for awhile before it starts working. So, you do need to talk to your doctor to let him know what is going on. Oh, the med is fairly fast acting, so you should be seeing the results. One thing that does bother me though is that this is information that your doctor should also have given you.
11323603 tn?1417233792 what should I do when this happens and I have work to do? Should I not take it in case I took it already and just try to focus if I didn't take it, or should I take the risk of taking one even though I might have already took one? I take 30 mg. I used to take Adderall XR 10 mg. Would taking 60 mg one day be very dangerous for my health ? (I don't want to do it intentionnaly don't worry, just in case I take two the same day because I forgot I had already taken it...
990354 tn?1307132886 Hey I am worried about my sister! She is on Vyvanse right now at thiry mgs but does NOT take it daily. Her husband takes twenty mgs of Adderall daily, and sometimes she will take an adderall instead of a vyvanse. Is this safe?? I don't think she is taking them at the same time but, is it safe for her to take an adderall on occasion? She claims the adderall gives her more energy than the vyvanse so she takes it when she has a night that she is working late and so on.
