vyvanse

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.

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.
Avatar m tn My doc prescribed me 70mg Vyvanse, to compare with my Adderall dose previously prescribed. When feeling the effects of Vyvanse it is truly a saving grace and I really feel "limitless". I think clear, I don't feel over stimulated or the out of body experience like other ADHD drugs. I'm in an industry that I must utilize critical problem solving skills, think extremely creative and relay high end technical knowledge to CIO's and executives on a daily basis.
Avatar f tn I recently had to switch my add meds from adderall xr to vyvanse and I am on day 2 and I feel like I havnt taken anything. I am extremely tired, have anxiety with everything going on around me at once, and I cant concentrate at all, I walked around my kitchen for 15 minutes not knowing why i wass but knew there was a reason then finally got my car keys that i was needing to get in the first place. Is this normal?

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.
3063045 tn?1340654053 Yep, Noticed you said Adderall. His dosage was about right for Adderall. Way off for V which you said you were on. Wonder if he got mixed up?
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.

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 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.
Avatar m tn I also told him about the crash in the middle of the day, and he prescribed Adderall at 10mg IR, to be taken in the afternoons. He also increased the Vyvanse dosage to 40mg. During the next week, I started exhibiting the behaviors that I associate with my depressive symptoms. However, since the Vyvanse makes me lose touch with reality, to some extent, and slows my thoughts significantly, I wasn't really aware of it.
Avatar m tn I started Vyvanse back in August 2010, and it was the miracle that I've been searching for. Over a span of 4 years, I've taken stimulants including: Concerta, 30mg Adderall IR, and 30mg Adderall XR. Concerta gave me migraines. Adderall XR completely sucked. Adderall IR was the best medication that I found until Vyvanse. Now I think Adderall is horrible in comparison. I've been taking 30mg of Vyvanse for a few months now.
Avatar f tn If you had any of these feelings, moods, or reactions from your dosage of Adderall, or you broke laws, lied, ran out of money, or felt a desperate need to have more Adderall; your concern about using any form of amphetamine is probably realistic.
5757880 tn?1395578022 Basically Vyvanse is a smoother, longer acting form of Adderall. Concerta is a longer acting form of Methylphenidate. Usually, but not always, the Adderall type of medications are considered to be stronger. Intuniv is a longer lasting and newer form of Guanfacine. Not a stim med like the above mentioned, but can be successful. More on Intuniv here - http://www.corepsych.
Avatar m tn I am really sensitive to medications. Adderall was like what I imagine taking crystal methamphetamine feels like. At least I felt like how those people looked. 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.
1218509 tn?1267490923 I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 9 years old. Currently I am on Adderall, because Vyvanse was too expensive when I didn't have insurance. I took 60 mg of Vyvanse for three to four months, back in mid-2009; it was absolutely amazing. It was very smooth, it lasted around the 12-14 hours my Psychiatrist said it would, and I did not give me any side effects. I would highly recommend Vyvanse to anyone who needs a ADHD/ADD medication.
Avatar f tn I have a real sensitive stomach and immune system, and am allergic to a lot so I would think that you can handle most of these. The best working were the Daytrana, Adderall XR, and Vyvanse, and the Adderall you are taking may be different than what I take(XR) The other Adderall hurt my stomach and made me sick if I didn't eat, but I have no problem with the XR.
Avatar m tn Vyvanse is a newer ADD med and I specifically requested something other than Adderall due to side affects. My doctor explained to me that because Vyvanse has a very good time release the boost is similar however not as overbearing and much easier as it wears off than Adderall because the "come down" or "crash" does not cause such a severe low. All ADD meds have their down side and generally the anti depressant is the counteract to this.
Avatar n tn to abuse her vyvanse but I think she also doing adderall and getting it off the streets (from friends she may know or known drug dealers). I can just see a big difference in her behavior. I also heard her talking to a friend on her cell phone (she did NOT know I was listening) about adderall in general. What forms do people use to abuse Adderall. Do they take to many? Do the crush them up and eat them? Do they crush them up and possibly snort them?

447130 tn?1225470866 I used to be on Vyvanse and Adderall twice daily. It worked well. I have been off them for years until a month ago. Dr put me on 70 mg of Vyvanse but no adderall. I have been unmotivated, tired and in a fog. I have hypothyroidism too and reduced my dosage so that didn't help either. Talking to Dr tomorrow and get the meds straight. Rather have racing thoughts than be stuck in a fog and can't do anything.
Avatar m tn This was to help call me down but all it ever did was call my body down and my head still would race I ended up on an extremely high dosage of three different types of benzo's. We have kept the Suboxone at 16 mg. Paxil at 60 mg added Adderall XR 60 mg a day ( two 30') Interestingly I've only been on this medication since January and I've been able to cut my Xanax dose down to 4 mg a day from 8 with no increase in anxiety or any withdrawal symptoms that are noticeable.
12880268 tn?1427636775 So when I went to my doctor for my second appointment, I told him this, and instead of increasing the Vyvanse again, he kept the dosage the same but then prescribed an instant release 10mg Adderall to be taken once a day around 3PM. Well, it's been almost a month since I have been on that regime and I want to ask my doctor if he can increase my Vyvanse to the 50mg.
Avatar f tn If it is not lasting that long, then you are underdosed. But, Vyvanse is good for 10 to 12+ hours. It basically is the same med as Adderall, but in a different format. Yes, you definitely need to talk with your doc. With your doc you need to be more specific about when you need to focus. Let the doc know when your lack of concentration is hitting. Also experiment a bit.
Avatar f tn My 13 year old daughter has been on Vyvanse for almost 4 years now! She is on a 40mg. It works well when she takes it but the lasting effect is getting shorter with time! It now only last maybe 4 hours. So witb school and the homework...its almost impossible to get it done! Her Dr. Said uping the mg wouldnt help. So should i just change her med altogether? I like it cause she dont have bad side effects to it and i am scared to try something new.
Avatar f tn Taking amphetamine (i.e. Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse), in the last 14 days" This quote is from - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phentermine I find it very hard to believe that when Phentermine use is containdicated in those who are taking amphetamine (i.e. Adderall) that your doctor would say that they would not interact. And Topamax is prescribed for antipsychotic-induced weight gain.
