Vyvanse get you high

Common Questions and Answers about 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.
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

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 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 YES! I'm a 22 year old male taking 50 mg vyvanse daily. I'm in recovery for alcohol and cocaine abuse. 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 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.
Avatar f tn Also, the euphoria associated with a first time vyvanse high will make you feel great.
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.
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 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 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 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 I also read where doctors are prescribing up to 210mg of Vyvanse. The most common high dose is 140mg. This is called Off Label Prescribing. Does anyone here take over 70mg of Vyvanse? If so, how long does it last? I actually called Shire this past weekend and made a product complaint. I told the rep that my meds were wearing off after 4-5 hours & asked if it was possible to get my doctor to write for more than 70mg.
Avatar f tn He prescribed Vyvanse to take in the morning then before bed I am supposed to take Topamax (migraine medicine) and Trintellix (an antidepressant) as well as a diet. I started on the Vyvanse mostly b/c I also suffer from ADHD and it is really great so far for my attention at work. However I am really leery of taking new meds especially if I do not need them and even so I would like to see how I react to one before taking others on top of it.
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 Hi everyone! Thanks so much for reading - I'm hoping someone who has experience with this might be able to help steer me in the right direction. - First of all, I'm female, 23 years old, 5'3, about 135lbs - I have been prescribed Adderall ir for Adult ADD and treatment resistant depression for about 3 years now. In the beginning, we started with just 5mg - and it did wonders for me! It was like a switch had been turned on, and I could see clearly again.
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 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.
5757880 tn?1395578022 //addadhdblog.com/vyvanse-dosage-how-to-get-the-right-dose/?doing_wp_cron=1392270407.4202480316162109375000#c987e as the math works out to 12mgs at a time. 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 m tn I was diagnosed with ADHD after getting a very high score on quotient testing. I also have been diagnosed with a unspecified mood disorder. With regards to ADHD: My thoughts are always going at a thousand miles an hour, and most of the time I don't realize it. I obsessively ruminate ALOT and I have serious issues with getting distracted and procrastinating.
1549092 tn?1297046311 I think you will find the information useful as it compares Vyvanse vs Adderall XR. Do make sure you also click on their ADHD link at the top of the page once you have finished reading. The site is - http://healthlifeandstuff.com/2009/07/vyvanse-vs-adderall-simple-vs-complex. You also might want to check out another very good site for adult ADD. Its has a different approach to the matter as it is all done with videos and was recently featured in a special on PBS.
Avatar m tn The snri class of antidepressants might also be worth considering for the same reason -- they target serotonin but also target norepinephrine, which is essentially part of adrenaline, so you might get a good kick out of that as well. Those drugs are much harder to stop taking than wellbutrin, however. So is speed. But the first thing I'd want to do, as I said, is see an appropriate specialist if you haven't already done so to make sure the diagnosis is accurate.
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.
