When does vyvanse kick in

Common Questions and Answers about When does vyvanse kick in

vyvanse

Avatar n tn m hoping that it will kick in first ( is it within 30 minutes?) and then after it kicks in to give Vyvanse. We are hoping that in a few hours when the effect from Ritalin crashes down the Vyvanse will then have peaked and so that he won't suffer from anxiety that's common from Ritalin since Vyvanse gives a euphoric effect. Anybody has tried these drugs in this order?
Avatar f tn Vyvanse maintains a long, steady, consistent blood level all day — advantages over Adderal. But Vyvanse takes three hours to kick in, while it is metabolized in the liver so it has that nice long steady life. On the other hand, Adderol kicks in immediately, and has a short effective life. Perfect fit. 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.
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 have a friend who has a boy younger than 10 years old on Metadate CD. Her doctor suggested that they try Vyvanse. He does ok on Metadate CD but he seems a little zombie like with no emotion and not very social when on Metadate. I believe that it is why the doctor suggested a different med. Thank you for your comment.
Avatar f tn ve tried so many different ADD medications and doses before ending up where I am, I agree that Vyvanse does take a while to kick in. Not everyone is the same, so if Adderall works better for you it's not very shocking.
990354 tn?1307132886 Adderall definitely has much more of a kick to it then vyvanse does so I can see why she says it gives her more energy. I'm prescribed 60mg vyvanse and its perfectly fine. As long as you take it the same time in the morning. If you take it at random intervals especially at night it can really effect your sleep patterns. Which is bad news. Taking addy recreationally to get studying done at night is common but not recommended. Habit forming for sure.
Avatar f tn I have to take baby steps to get things done or my Compulsive Behavior on wanting to get it done like Yesterday and all at once will kick in and make me want to use.When you stop the pills you will have to give your Brain & Body time to kick in the natural way. You have done it before. It takes a lot of Strength to fight that Pleasure (survival) Part of the Brain because it will want to play this tape over and over to trick you into to thinking that you need this for this or that reason.
Avatar f tn I am very healthy except for this disorder, but was seeing a doctor for medication, Strattera when I went on medicaid. Does medicaid cover Stratterra, Vyvanse or Concerta and other ADHD or ADD medications?
Avatar n tn My question is this: Has anyone taken adhd medication such as vyvanse and is in recovery from adrugs and alcohol?
Avatar m tn On an empty stomach, it takes about a half hour to kick in and always lasts (for me) about 12 hours. You only need to take one. Vyvanse has seriously changed my entire life. I am a much happier, less stressed, productive person. I have virtually no side effects except for a small decrease in appetite and mild to moderate when it wears off. I sleep like a baby, even though a side effect is insomnia. I'm so much more calm, neat, organized, motivated, punctual, and non-fidgety.
Avatar f tn He is very obsessive when someone in the family is in the hospital or there is a death in the family. That is all he talks about. when my grandmother died last spring he wanted to go up and see her in her casket over and over. He takes Vyvanse for his adhd. we tried strattera but it really messed him up. he got lethargic and very confused and his doctor put him back on vyvanse. we have had the best results with that.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had any experience with taking clonidine as a sleep aid while on vyvanse? Also, my son is extremely short of breath when doing any physical activity. He takes 50 mg of Vyvanse daily and was wondering if anyone has experienced this side effect with Vyvanse. Thank you.
Avatar f tn He angrily snapped at me and said will check with my family dr about the Vyvanse - insinuating it was prescribed maybe? He had known all along and in my chart that I take Vyvanse. I just feel like this doctor was mad at me and angry - instead of helping me. For the life of me I can't understand why except that I forgot my bp data sheet. I had the blood work done he had prescribed and we also talked about that.
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.
Avatar f tn Hey Linz, my psych had switched me to Vyvanse when it first came out, and at my next appointment I asked to be switched back to Adderral XR. The vyvanse did not work much at all for me, if anything it made me worse. So now I'm back on Adderral, and doing alright, or as alright as I can be doing (unfortunately meds don't make everything ok).
Avatar m tn I was thinking that maybe the mixture of D and L enantiomers in Adderall works better in my body than the 100% D enantiomer in vyvanse. (neuropharmacology was my favorite class ever so I know a little bit about this stuff.) The first two weeks of Vyvanse let me take care of my priorities efficiently and without any procrastination. Additionally, it shut up my racing thoughts, which was such a relief.
Avatar n tn I noticed over spring break a small amount of acne (she had been acne free for years). Then when she came home in May the acne started getting worse. She upped her adderall because of training/games and a new job. So she was basically taking it almost every day. Her face broke out horribly. Worse it has ever been. I took her to two dermatologists. Nothing was helping. It was steadily getting worse.
Avatar n tn Sandman2 is right. I went to a pill party before I knew I had ADHD and some guy brought some of his brother's Adderral. We snorted it and everyone got high off it, except me...it had the complete opposite effect on me. Needless to say, I never got invited to a pill party again...lol. Now I know I have ADHD and I'm taking Vyvanse. If your daughter has ADHD, Vyvanse isn't going to be very much fun...not much exciting happens when you take it.
Avatar m tn 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. And he was right about everything and then some. And believe me if there is a side effect to have I will have it.
Avatar m tn If you have ADHD and a prescription - no worries even if it does show up. If you don't ....then this search showed that, "Vyvanse is detectable in urine up to 3 days after ingesting Vyvanse. Vyvanse is detectable in hair samples for months after ingestion. Though Vyvanse itself only stays in your system four hours post-ingestion, the active drug d-amphetamine stays in your system for 40 hours.
Avatar n tn Hi! I've been slowly upping my Vyvanse dose & am currently taking 50mg every morning. I've noticed I can easily take a nap any time of day (similar to before Vyvanse) does this mean my dose is still to low?
Avatar m tn t do a thing for them. If Vyvanse does nothing for you, except make you depressed, then perhaps another medication may be worth a try. If it does help you, maybe there is a similar alternative you can try. My first medication was Vyvanse and it happens to work well for me. I already take an antidepressant, so if it does make me depressed I'm already covered...lol. And the bad mood thing...
Avatar m tn My question: Every time I sleep, day (as in nap, occasionally) or night, I have strange dreams I can't put a finger on. I'm often very sad anxious and in some type of bad situation. THEN the real problem. I awake in absolute terror. I am pretty much completely dysfunctional for at least half an hour to two hours. The Vyvanse generally relieves it when it kicks in. It's as if my mind falls apart when off it. I never wake up happy to face the day, excited, etc.
Avatar m tn I take 1.5 mg Klonopin + 50 mgs of Vyvanse. I have ADD but the Vyvanse is also prescribed for depression as I cannot take absolutely any antidepressant without incredible agitation. That started several years ago. Here's the problem at hand, as it starts: Every time I sleep, whether day (as in nap, a rare occasion) or night, I have disturbing dreams I can't put a finger on. I'm often very sad anxious and in some type of bad situation.
Avatar f tn I find it convenient to be able to throw a couple in my car or in my bag strapped to my bike and eat them when I need a snack, right out of hand, just peeled like an orange.
