Is Vyvanse Advisable While Recovering From Concussion?

Hi, I smacked my head on a metal bar yesterday and gave myself a concussion. I have headaches, head pressure, uneven pupils, sensitivity to light and sound, foggy mind, and a few other symptoms. I take 50mg vyvanse daily for adhd, today i took two because i couldn t stand how foggy and incohearent my mind was. Now that I m semi lucid I m thinking that might not have been a good idea? Should i take my vyvanse while i recover? And follow up, at what point should i go to a doctor about the concussion?
