Can Vyvanse Be Taken While Having Mono Infections?

I have a three part question if that s ok. 1. I m currently in the active stage of mono. The virus is replicating. This is about the 8th time this has happened. My first experience was when I was active duty military. And it lasted 8 months. I would like to find a specialist who s familiar with chronic EBV. But my searches aren t successful. Any suggestions? I live outside of DC so there are plenty of specialists here I m sure. I m just not finding them. 2. With having mono, is it ok to be taking vyvanse for energy so I can function? I am prescribed vyvanse on a normal basis for CFS. But wasn t sure if I should be skipping the vyvanse for now. That s the ONLY way I m functioning now. And a 50mg capsule only lasts about two to three hours. 3. I m interested in trying low dose naltrexone for chronic pain. I ve called my pain dr. Two times actually. And I ve not gotten a response. Would there be a better person to ask? A different specialist?

DEAR PATIENT. i have read your question carefully and understand your problem.
first of all you are sufferring from weak immunity.you have to focus on that.as soon as the immunity improves,the viral infection will dissappear and so does your fatigue.
Take 2 egg whites everyday,plus a milk shake and plus a complete balanced diet. add a tablet of multivitamin everyday.avoid foods rich in fats and cholesterol. You can take vyvanase to fight your fatigue,but refrain from increasing the dose by urself. see the chronic EBV infection is due to weak immunity of a person.get CBC test done regularly to monitor your immune cells. FOcus more on nutrition especially protein rich diet which stimulates and increases the wbc count and improves your symptoms.
second of all.naltrexone is not used to control pain. it is used to treat opioid dependence .
you have to stop running from doctor to doctor.
An MD medicine doctor is very much equipped to handle your situation.
hope you understand that there is no specific medication to kill the virus,because it can be killed only by the self immunity.
hope that answers the question.
you will get better.best of luck
