Prescribed Vyvanse For ADHD. Is It Safe To Take Vyvanse And Pre-workout Supplements On Same Day?
My son is huge into working out and wrestling for his school. He has been prescribed Vyvanse 30mg for ADHD and all the kids on his wrestling team are into taking pre-workout supplements. He recently bought Amplified Muscle Igniter 4X Pre-Workout Supplements from GNC. He takes the Vyvanse early in the morning and takes the pre-workout around 3pm. Is this safe to do?

Thank you for choosing HCM for your query. Will be glad to help.
This particular supplement contains a hefty dose of caffeine in it.
Combining Vyvanse and such a high dose of caffeine can be dangerous.
Caffeine or caffeinated products should be avoided when taking vyvanse since both are stimulants. Caffeine can increase the side effects of the medicine. Moreover the dose of caffeine in this supplement is very high which makes it even riskier to take it with the medicine.
Some of the side effects that can be exacerbated by such a high dose of caffeine are increased irritability, anxiety which can be very uncomfortable and effects on the heart like increased blood pressure or cardiac rhythm problems can be dangerous.
It is advisable not to take these two together.
Hope this helps.
