Im 21 years old, female 5 2 115lbs. Im taking vyvanse 60mg for ADHD and Luvox 100mg for anxiety . I stopped taking the luvox for a little over a month and now I m beginning to take it again but 50mg. I ve notice lately my heart beating rapidly just by going up the stairs in my house. What is the cause of this and should I be worried? Also with I workout my heart beats rapidly and sometimes stops then continues beating.

Hi Vyvanse is known to cause palpitation, but you still need to look for other causes such as anemia, thyroid problem and hypertension and also could be due to anxity. if none of the issues are present than you ask for change of medicines that should help.
