Is this common?

I'm a 42-year-old male. For twenty years I have dealt with ocd and depression. Recently I was diagnosed with ADHD and put on Vyvanse. It seemed to help for a while. Eventually I was put on the max dose. For about 3 months now, I have noticed some big changes. I have this constant feeling of anxiousness, dread, and irritability. I also cannot eat or go to the washroom. I am wondering if this is over the vyvanse. If so, I need to get off of it.

Tell this to your provider. You may have to lower the dose or experiment with another medication and so on ... But write down the effects so that you can share that info with a provider.
