Is There Any Side Effects For Vyvanse?
Hi, I recently started taking Vyvanse 60 mg for ADHD. It helps me tremendously, but does have an annoying side effect. I find myself chewing/biting my tongue. It sort of feels like my tongue doesn t quite fit in my mouth. I m not sure if the Vyvanse is causing that of if the Vyvanse is causing dry mouth and I m doing the chewing/biting as a result. It s like I keep finding myself working my mouth to produce saliva. Are there any recommendations for cournteracting the side effect?

Hello,
The medicine definitely has some side effects and one of those is dry mouth. But beneficial effects of the medicine are far more than the side effects. If this persists or increases over time then I would suggest you talk to your treating doctor regarding this. Sudden change or stopping the medicine is not advisable. Keep yourself hydrated whenever you feel the mouth is getting dry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
