Is my vyvanse dosage too high?
I switched from Adderall to Vyvanse 70 mg about 4 months ago for my ADHD and I love it. I haven't had any negative side effects and I feel like myself but I can finally concentrate and have the motivation to do things that used to be such a hassle. How do I know if my dosage is right or too much? I feel normal but on occasion feel jittery and some days I feel my heart beating kinda fast. I don't drink caffeine when I'm on it. Is it normal to feel your heart beat at a someone fast pace every now and then, when sitting down and not exercising? Otherwise I'm thinking about trying my brother's 50 mg vyvanse tomorrow to see how that feels. help please?
Hi,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you may be experiencing some of the more serious side effects associated with Vyvanse. Rapid or uneven heartbeats are cause for concern, and you should contact your doctor immedicately to report what you've been experiencing. You can read more about the side effects associated with Vyvanse here.
In addition, it is against federal law to share with someone else a medication that has been prescribed to you (or for someone else to share their medication with you). I would strongly urge you not to take your brother's medication, but to consult with your doctor and discuss the best way to treat your condition.
I hope this helps!
Best of luck,
Casey
