Experiences with

Vyvanse

I was on dexamptimes for a couple months was great but towards end a bit of anxiety and depression so doc thought Vyvanse70 mg to take once a day so been on it for 2 weeks was great till last 3 days , bits of anxiety and depression returning doesn’t last as long , in afternoons I start get tied at work

Hi everyone, I'm on 70 mg of vyvanse and if I take it really early in the morning, by lunch time I am super tired. Since I'm already on the highest dose, what can I do? Also, been on it for about a month. Thanks!

After barely a month on Vyvanse, my son earned an A on his 6th grade geometry exam. This is a first following a history of D’s and F’s. This is working!

I am currently taking Vyvanse 40mg for my ADHD. I have been on that dose for only 2 months. Before I was on concerta but didn’t work for me so my dr changed it to Vyvanse 30 mg for a month but I told him after it wasn’t as affective so we bumped it up to 40 mg.

Oct 2018 I was Rx'd Vyvanse 30mg (as well as Wellbutrin 150mg, currently on 300mg). Vyvanse increased to 40mg in November.

Taking Vyvanse 50mg and Wellbutrin 150 XL. Combo seems to really help with mood and motivation, but I cannot sleep--at all! I can't take melatonin bc it triggers RLS for me.

Yesterday we started vyvanse. He complains of being jittery, not feeling hisself, said he feels like he's done something bad, heart racing but not all the time. I hate my son feeling like that. I have been so reluctant about putting him on meds, it took me 13 yrs to to finally do it.

Hello , so my 6 yr old son was taking Vyvanse but the first 4 days omg they were bad !!!! He was calm but with an attitude and always angry , to the point he got dark thoughts so we stopped it .

Well it’s hank you lady’s for the advice !!! I really appreciate, I feel a bit better now . Well today was just day one I will let you know how it goes for the next 6 days , how the changes will be and if we are going to continue with it

I’ve been on vyvanse for about a month and a couple weeks, I’ve noticed weight loss and my doctor said just to eat a lot of calories and high protein snacks at night or during the day, I can’t eat full meals cause I’m not hungry does anyone have the best food and snacks I can take to school without spending

I also previously took Vyvanse and didn’t have this issue, but due to my insurance, my Dr can only prescribe Aderall X R. Does anyone else have this issue, and if so, how do you deal with it? It’s gotten to the point that I’m afraid to be driving towards end of dose because I’m so lethargic!

I'm on vyvanse 50mg but i might figure to get my dosage raised, but even if it does keep me focused, i'll focus on diving hours into minecraft or whatever instead of my homework.

Since it stopped working she’s trying a low dose of Vyvanse. She’s struggling with her math and chemistry classes right now.

So today we finally found out my son needs to start taking Vyvanse , my son is 6 and half , he is doing really bad in school with his behaviour , he has good grades all B’s but his behaviour is out of control , he is always hitting, pushing , fighting back , not listening and we have the same problem

She just tried Vyvanse again (which she briefly tried age 13 but stopped due to anxiety). So age 17 she tried Vyvanse 20mg, 30mg and 40 mg. None worked at all.

Finally we tried Vyvanse this year in March and I must admit things improved for him drastically at school his grades and behavior improved and he became student of the week 2 times.

I have already had to report her for violating FERPA when she told my son's class (while he was not in the room) that he was off his medicine and like her and he insulin he just needed to take it (he is on Intuniv but had side effects from Vyvanse and begged to be off it).

We just had to switch our 7 year old from Ritalin to yvyanse, he just started it today and seem very withdraw. I normally pray for him to be quiet but I don’t like seeing him like this. Could you please share your stories on what to expect the first few days he on 30mg Regards

I'm worried about several things including will he be ready for college, will he be able to handle all the independence that comes with being a high school student, and will he choose the wrong crowd and experiment with drugs because he's already taking Vyvanse.

He then was changed to Vyvanse 70 mg for the last 6 years. Although, there have always been struggles, the medication was really a godsend (at least until the dosage wore out it’s welcome and then was altered again.... too bad there’s not a app to figure that out! :-) ).
