Common Questions and Answers about Can vyvanse get you high

vyvanse

Avatar m tn If the high blood pressure just started, it could be a side effect of the Vyvanse. Even if you had high blood pressure before starting on the Vyvanse, the Vyvanse can make it worse. 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.
Avatar f tn You have to wean yourself off Vyvanse? Ive been on adderall in high doses for months at a time and quit it a few times cold turkey and my doctor didn't say anything about needing to ween, withdrawal was just basically sleeping for 3 days straight which can actually be pleasant if you don't have anything to do. I didn't go crazy without it or have cravings for it. It sounds to me like her son is having psychotic reactions to it and would be best to stop immediately.
Avatar n tn According to the info on vyvanse, unlike other meds, you cannot snort the chemicals and get high. It must be ingested. Of course, this begs the question of where she learned to break open the capsules and snort and why. Furtheremore, if she has ADHD, the medication should not affect her the way it would someone without ADHD. So there is something weird going on here.

He is taking the Adderall in the afternoon because the V was no longer working. But, you can't add an Adderall at the same time and expect a longer duration. Basically V should last 10 or so hours. If it does not, you need to increase the dose or do the boost.
Avatar n tn Your first time taking vyvanse would be like an 8 hour coke high at around 40 mg, but after a few days you lose that high and only get therapeutic effects
Avatar f tn I would talk to your doc, you definitely are not the only person who has experienced dissatisfaction with Vyvanse. Good luck!
Avatar n tn Been sober now for 10 months, and yes it has been difficult not to abuse vyvanse. Addicts think different than most people. We find something we like and all we can think is more more more. What I do is get a friend to hold my vyvanse and give it me as needed. I don't recommend holding on to them yourself!!! Bad idea!!
Avatar f tn Also, the euphoria associated with a first time vyvanse high will make you feel great.
Avatar m tn Every thing that I have read says that sleep is a huge factor. It can really screw up your day if you don't get enough sleep. So that is something that you need to get under control before you start switching doses. Vyvanse should work 10 to 12 to 14 hours. Its possible that it is causing you sleep problems. One sign of overdosing is a medication lasting longer then it should. And you are showing a few other symptoms of an overdose.
14987738 tn?1437742035 And, I doubt that you are feeling more depressed because of the Vyvanse. You are feeling depressed because of you stopped the zoloft and because of your medical condition. Depression and anxiety are a very common co-disorders of ADHD and while V can help with some of the reasons for the depression. It doesn't happen overnight. Eating is very important. And while the V might be killing your appetite, it is not causing the stomach pain. You need medical attention for that.
Avatar m tn Increasing dose really only increases length of effectiveness. Well, and you could over do it, and get overmedicated. You did show some slight signs of that. I can give you a site on that.
Avatar f tn Vyvanse, like all stim meds is essentially out of your system at the end of the duration of effectiveness....which in Vyvanse's case is about 12 to 14 hours. Unlike anti-anxiety/depression meds which take several weeks to take effect, you normally do not have to wean yourself off of a stim med because you literally have done so daily. I believe that the listed side effects for withdrawing relate to those people who have abused the medication/prescription.
Avatar f tn I'm the same way. I used to only be content when I was in a comfy bed or a warm bath.. It sounds like you need to Add meds. It makes your discontent go away. They are amazing. I'm on Vyvanse.
Avatar f tn And one that once you get out of school, you maybe able to taper off - unless you become an air traffic controller or something :) Oh, and if you haven't done so, you might want to check out two very good adult ADD sites that offer a lot of help for these kind of issues. They are totallyadd.com and http://jeffsaddmind.com/for-first-time-visitors. I recommend them highly!
Avatar f tn Hi Gregs15. I'm sorry you are going through all of this. This is a hard question and I mean zero offense by it but am wondering if you are abusing the meds. I'm asking for a particular reason. Who prescribes them for you? Who diagnosed you with adhd? It would make sense that these aren't the meds for you and they should be stopped and replaced or just stopped but from the way you write this, there seems to be more to this situation.
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 f tn Thats great. The more information you have - the better you can deal with it. You might also be interested in these two adult web sites for add. The sites are totallyadd.com and jeffsaddmind.com. Both have a ton of content. Thanks for your information. Keep in touch!
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 Also, and this is more for me obviously, put them in a pill box so if you see it is gone, you know you have taken it. All medication like this can give you some memory loss. I am 39 + 2 (yes i refuse to use the forty word as i do not look it lol) so memory loss already but i suffered severe memory loss after 2 yrs on desoxyn which is a methamphetamine. Just be very careful but hunny you are going to be fine.
Avatar m tn im never going to take anything like this again, and your right when you get used to studying with help from the high you get from drugs like these it makes it much harder to get things done without them.
1666464 tn?1303225358 Sounds like you have something like Kaiser. If you get the right person, the specialists can be pretty good. If its a long wait, call the doctor back and exaggerate the case. Tell him you are freaking out or something. The fact that you only seem to last about two weeks or so on meds is very puzzling. That is very untypical. All most makes me think that the meds are acting more like a stimulant - at least symptom wise.
Avatar m tn It's the medication causing this. You should try eating foods high in protein. You can also drink a boost or ensure shake twice a day after a meal to help you with getting the vitamins and protein you may be lacking and it's not as expensive as getting the protein shakes from GNC etc.
Avatar m tn I believe that is normal, however you might be on too high of a dose. Everyone is different. Vyvanse works wonders for some people and other people just hate it. So you might want to talk to your doctor about adjusting your dose or switching do a different medication. I learned the hard way that adjusting medications (especially for adhd) is NOT a quick process. It takes time, so just try to be patient and eventually you'll get it right.
Avatar n tn Any help in figuring this out .Thank you Im trying to get 70 mg vyvanse out of these 30mg capsules 1 70 mg or 1 60 is the right dose for me.
Avatar m tn Now, I gotta ask. Why are you opening the capsules? They are distributed prefilled by the manufacturer. You can call but typically, pharmaceuticals are held to high standards before releasing for shipping to pharmacies. Generics less so but still regulated. The pharmacists do not open/fill capsules ever.
