Does Vyvanse Cause Chronic Cough?
Our son has been on Vyvanse for two weeks now and has had an uncontrollable cough for 5 days now. His doctor said, that if there are any side effects. To STOP! taking this particular medication. Is his non-stop coughing because of Vyvanse? We have been treating his cough with medicines and home remedies, but he still continues with no signs of slowing down.

Hi,
Vyanse can cause a cough due to the availability of Norepinephrine which decreases mucous production, leading to a drier throat.
I suggest you give liquids to your son.
If the symptoms continue you should reconsider the medication with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
