Hi, Vyvanse drug is mostly used in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or binge eating disorder. In my opinion, If your child is taking drug in proper dosage then there is nothing to worry. However, you should keep a watch on symptoms like restlessness, muscle cramp or spasms. If these symptoms present then dose needs to be decreased or stopped. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
