Vyvanse long term side effects
Common Questions and Answers about Vyvanse long term side effects
vyvanse
Certain medications can cause side effects in many of us that take it. Vyvanse is a stimulant, which in my experience actually helped me focus in the long term (I took another type in the same class) Initially, I was nervous about taking it because I thought it would make my anxiety worse, but these types of medications can "calm the mind" with those with ADD or ADHD in my experience with them.
Have you talked to your doctor about it?
Hello
Between ages 8 and about 28 I took, daily, a prescribed dose of Ritalin (between 20 mg and 40/mg per day) to treat a learning deficit that has always clearly expressed itself. Ritalin was very effective and the noticeable side effects were minimal. However, around age 20 I began to notice erectile sustainability issues which became increasingly prevalent heading into my mid and late twenties.
I agree with Sandman2 that you are taking too much. The first medication the doctor tried on me was vyvanse. I started on 30 mg which didn't last long enough. I was in college when I was taking it and took it at 9am and it was gone by 3-4pm. She increased my dose to 50 mg which was too much for me.
I have been on this forum for a long, long time and don't remember anyone ever complaining of sore throat, etc due to adderall....but, that might also be because they had more serious complaints (to them). And I do think it is very possible that acid reflux is the culprit. Try treating that (pepcid) and see what happens. Wondering if you have come under more stress lately...which can contribute to or cause acid reflux. You also might experiment with a stronger Vyvanse dose.
If you are still having side effects from withdrawing the med, slow it down even more. Talk to your doctor about this. This link has a lot of side effects that can happen during discontinuation (which should be minimized by tapering down slowly). Your muscle pain is on the list but it is hard to say if that is from discontinuing the med or from your other condition. http://www.drugsdb.com/rx/vyvanse/vyvanse-withdrawal/.
i wonder did a doctor tell you you had multiple chemical sensitivites....
That's a good one! I sure hope I get that long term side effect.
Probably the only guarantee is that the meds have been used for a very long time. Ritalin has been used since at least the early '70's, and Adderall since 1996. Perhaps that is why Susan Ashley in her book ADD & ADHD AnswerBook on page 164 says that, "With the millions of children treated, there are no known permanently damaging effects. To date there have been no known studies suggesting the presence of negative long-term effects".
Levoxly's long term side effects if taken at the right dose are very rare, with the most common being hair loss nothing new to most of us here.
ADHD medicine can be a game changer in terms of managing symptoms, but it, like all medications, has negative effects. Common side effects include decreased appetite, difficulty sleeping, and irritability, particularly at high doses. Some children may also have stomach problems or headaches. It's critical to have open lines of contact with your doctor so that they can change the dosage or try another drug if necessary.
Ok, I have vyvanse 70 mg tablets. Currently I have been on them for 3 days alotogether. I take the pill when i want to, I've takin 3 pills in one week. My first quesiton (1.

Its a love hate situation for me so far, i love what it does, the concentrating, the happy mood, love it! But I'm having awful side effects. The first day i had none.

I highly prefer Vyvanse over adderall because I do not suffer from side effects w/Vyvanse as with the adderall. The Vyvanse is much smoother than most all other adhd drugs. I have never experienced shortness of breath while taking Vyvanse, however, I am 25 years old and 180lbs. I am also a Registered Nurse. I would imagine that these annoying side effects will eventually subside with continued therapy w/Vyvanse. Give it 2-3 weeks becaue his tolerance needs to build up first.
