Heart Flutters/palpitations on Vyvanse normal?

[Palomino07]

Hi everyone! I'm very new to this journey and just had a quick question. I'll make my story quick...I was on Wellbutrin but went off to try Adderall. Felt very strange on Adderall. My resting heart rate came down which was great because mine is usally higher and felt very calm and happy but also felt a little loopy and out of it. Decided to try Vyvance, however, at the time my Wellbutrin was also introduced back in (xl 300mg). I took only 10 mg of Vyvanse and felt great. Not loopy, I felt focused,and happy. However, as I was coming down from the Vyvanse (only after about four hours) I had a little Diet Coke (not much at all) to help with the crash. I all of a sudden had about 3 or 4 little heart flutters that freaked me out. Is this normal? I wasn't sure if that meant my heart couldn't take this type of med. I didn't know if the diet coke could have caused this or the fact that I was on Wellbutrin as well? I have a call into my doctor but with everything going on I have not heard back so I figured I'd through the question out to the group. I'm afraid to take it again but I felt great on it. Also, is maybe another stimulant (like Quillivant or focalin) easier on the heart issue or are they all the same basically?

Thanks so much! So thankful I found this site. All the posts and comments have been so helpful and supportive.

Hi Palomino. Did you experience any pain with the heart flutters? I am no medical expert but if no pain, it sounds like it may have been premature ventricular contractions, PVCs for short. These are pretty harmless unless happening over a long period of time. Too much caffeine can cause them, as well as stress. But yeah you should def discuss with your doctor about the combination of wellbutrin and vyvanse. That might have had something to do with it.

Thanks so much dubst3pM4UL! I did take it again with no Wellbutrin this time and I did not experience any flutters. I did not experience any pain when the flutter happened. The only thing is that Vyvanse causes my resting heart rate to be so high (around 100 bpm). Ritalin and adderall cause my resting heart rate to decrease. So weird how similar drugs can have such a different effect on the body. Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. I will definitely be talking to my doctor as well.
