Suggest Ways To Deal With The Side Effects Of Vyvanse

Friday 2:45pm I took 70mg vyvanse to help study for a test I had this morning (yes that s wrong I know I m sorry) side effects kept me up the entire night with my heart racing and made me want to throw up but never did (I also have pretty bad test anxiety and got a little shaky) since I got no sleep me being dumb decided to take another 70mg this morning so I wouldn t fall asleep during the test. As of right now I still haven t slept since Friday night (and believe me I have been trying to sleep) nor have I been able to eat anything since Friday afternoon. And now the left side of my rib cage is sticking a good inch or two higher than the right side and im really concerned about that. I m 18yrs 5 4, 98 pounds.-if that information is necessary, I wouldn t know- Am I going to be okay? I ve taken the drug before which also caused me to lose a nights sleep but this is the first time I took it, pulled an all mightier, then took it again and this time I m actually afraid please give me advice! it s almost 5:30 pm now, 10 hours since the second pill and I m never doing this again I m dumb. If anything it affected my score, sleep schedule, and possibly health(?) in a negative way.

Hello,

You have taken a high dose of vyvanse.70mg/ day is the maximum allowed dose of vyvanse. Please do not take such a high dose without prescription. Few side effects of Vyvanse >10% are anorexia (27%), insomnia (27%), xerostomia (26%), headache (12%) and upper abdominal pain (12%).

Vyvanse is converted into active form called dextroamphetamine in our body. Dextroamphetamine has a half-life of 12 hours, which means it can stay in your system for up to 2.5 days. However, how long it’s effective and how quickly it’s eliminated varies from person to person. It improves your focus for about 14 hrs. Please drink more water as it is 96% eliminated through urine. From next time you don't need to take such high doses as their adverse effects will last longer.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
