What Causes Body Tremors While On Vyvanse?
My son is currently taking 60 mg of vyvanse and is experiencing tremors and tics. One of his doctors suggested he might be getting too much dopamine. He might need to stop taking vyvanse. What is the best way to wean off this medication? He has been taking it for over a year.

Hello,
Vyvanse is a brand name of dexamphetamine.
Body tremors is a common side effect of Vyvanse.
If he could not tolerate the side effects, consult a neurologist and ask for alternatives.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
