How To Wean Off Vyvanse Tablet As The Side-effects Are Unbearable?

I have been on Vyvanse 30 mg for 5 days and I do not like how it makes me feel. Heart rate is increased, I am anxious and jittery. I have a bad headache . I want to stop taking this medication. Do I have to taper off if I have only been taking this drug for 5 days? If so how should I do it?

Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hello,

Welcome to HCM and thank you for the query.
What you are feeling are recognised side effects of Vyvanse.
There is no harm in stopping it abruptly after obtaining your psychiatrist's consent as you had taken it only for 5 days.
Take care
Dr Noble Zachariah
