Common Questions and Answers about Vyvanse and cannabis
vyvanse
I began self medicating at age 14 with cannabis and LSD which put me into a hallucinatory and paranoid state. When I was 15 I was diagnosed by a psych as ADD inattentive type and severe depression. I was put on Ritalin for 4 years and then stopped for 8 years cold turkey, I then started taking Adderall 3 years ago (age 27) to deal with stressors of adult married life with ADD. All I can tell you is that your highs and lows are from the amphetamine in the Vyvanse.
I may not have the answer to your question, but I know something about medical cannabis. I suffer from fibro and medical cannabis was my last resort and it didn't disappoint me. Finally received my card two weeks ago. I tried two strains. One worked really well, the other not so much.
One ten second draw on my Firefly 2 was sufficient. I didn't get high, but I received the painkilling benefits.
This is the first study that evaluates the relationship between alcohol and cannabis use in patients with HCV and those coinfected with HCV/HIV. It is of great importance to disease management that physicians understand the factors influencing HCV disease severity, especially those that are potentially modifiable. The use and abuse of both alcohol and marijuana together is not an uncommon behavior.
The primary role of cannabis is to stimulate appetite, reduce nausea and vomiting, and treat joint pain. This role is applicable to HCV patients undergoing chemotherapy, those with cancer or cirrhosis, and those with joint pain and headache. Cannabis is far less toxic than other medications that might be prescribed for these conditions and where liver impairment is concerned, it is vital to avoid toxicity.
listen carefully....

t have evidence that a person should forgo chemo and just use cannabis. But there is evidence that cannabis is useful for the side effects of chemo, and it does not interfere with the benefits (and sometimes makes the chemo more effective). If Cannabis was a terrible immuno-suppressant, we would not have thousands of studies that show that cannabinoids slow the growth of cancer cells.
I am taking Vyvanse and Prozac, and I'm having trouble getting myself to eat. I am still in a healthy weight range, so I'm not worried about that. But I've been weak, fatigued, and dizzy at times because I'm not eating enough. Are there any protein shakes I should try, or something like that, so I can be getting the nutrients I need? I hate most protein shakes because I can't stand the texture, and they're usually gross. But I have to do something.

It cuts down a lot on the carcinogens, which are probably the particles that cause damage. You can also try making butter from cannabis and use it that way instead of smoking it. Just Google and you will find answers to all this.
Your doctor has to prescribe it for medical use, then you need to apply in your state for a Medical Marijuana Card. I would not smoke it and not have a Medical Marijuana Card.
My 10 year old son, who is ADHD, was taking 30 mg of Vyvanse and it worked fine for like a month and half. The doctor increased his dosage to 40 mg and it was working great, but again the effects seemed to have diminished in two months. 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?
I started to try different doses of Vyvanse and Adderall, starting at 10mg Vyvanse and going up to 50mg, and starting at 5mg Adderall (IR) and increasing to 10, at most, 4x a day. All of these medications seemed to increase my depressive symptoms, and since I wasn't really retaining much or cognizant of how I was doing, I ended up going three weeks without touching my homework, going to class or talking to my friends.
sometimes I take 50mg vyvanse the day after its 35, then 40, then 50 and so on. 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.
Well, it was not the Lithium that caused the twitching, as I had a Lithium level drawn after stopping it and the Vyvanse, and my level was a little bit low, indicating that it had probably been at normal levels just a day or two before. Now I have a script for Concerta to replace the Vyvanse, I am just waiting on insurance's prior authorization. I am still on the Prozac and am back on Abilify. The twitching slowly subsided, as did the eye pain, nausea, and dizziness.
The wellbutrin cause be extremme levels of anxiety and made my vyvanse useless.

Been on Vyvanse since November to help control binge eating , bulimia, and ADHD . Yep I've had a rough year . So a couple months ago I noticed swelling in left breast.

I and no I'm not pregnant :) and I never experienced this during pms until after Vyvanse.
kevwaw,
Sorry to hear about the panic attacks and anxiety. I was a heavy cannabis user for over 10 years until around the age of 27. I can attest it worsened my anxiety issues. I've had bad moments where I felt like I was going to pass out when I just wasn't in the right state of smoking it. Those were rare occasions. I noticed when I stopped smoking it for the first time, I started back and immediately experienced over-sensitive feelings.
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.
