Can Vyvanse Cause Skin Breaking Out?
Hi, I am a 37 year old female. I am 5 5 and weigh 145. My doctor recently put my on vyvanse for ADD. I don t think I had it as a child but and showing signs as an adult. Anyway, I have noticed sort of a break out of what seems like acne, but not puss filled, bumps on my chest and shoulders. Could this be caused by the Vyvanse. I would have slight break outs before, but not this bad.

Hi,
Yes. Vyvanse can cause acne. To cope with it you should try improving your diet (large intake of water and fruits, less oily food) and maintain good hygiene levels. If it continues or gets worse, tell your physician about it, he, might change the medication which suits you better.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
