Taking Vyvanse For ADHD. Sensitive Teeth. Any Suggestions?
I am 46 and just recently diagnosed with ADHD (ugh). I ve gradually increased my dose of vyvanse to 90 mg and it works pretty well. My problem is that my teeth have become incredibly sensitive...I may be clenching my teeth but it s only during the day and not at night. The are fine in the morning but ache all day and evening. Any suggestions?

Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Vyvanse contain lisdexamfetamine dimesylate. It is a psychostimulant prodrug and used for ADHD.
It has oral side effects in form of dry mouth, jaw clenching and teeth grinding. On long term use because of above side effects, teeth may become sensitive and cause pain.
It is better to discuss other treatment option or decrease dose of medicine, under supervision of psychiatrist to get relieved from these side effects.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
