What Are The Repercussions Of Vyvanse Overdose?
Question: am prescribed 70mg of vyvanse. I took roughly 120mg today because I worked from 4am this morning to 9:30p. I had a few "heart palpitations"- my heart felt like it was fluttering and would beat hard a few times then skip a beat and take my breath away. It made me very panicky. Immediately after this happened I took 1mg of the Xanax I had left over from my prescription. I want to know if there are any I'll side effects and what I should watch out for tonight to ensure that I am safe. I realize this is dangerous and won't repeat the process. Just want to ensure my safety as I have said
