Have there been any reports of back/muscle pain as a side effect of taking Vyvanse?

Have you heard of back/ muscle pain with vyvanse?

My 15 year old daughter has been on Vyvanse for the past year. It has been great for her ADD and does not cause the heart palpitations that other medications for ADD have caused in the past. She has had severe muscle and back pain that has increased with intensity over time. She is a great athlete so some of that is attributed to the pain but some of the overall pain is unexplainable. Please let me know if you have heard of any muscle side affects from taking vyvanse.

 

Thank you,

Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.

 

Muscle aches are not listed as one of the common side effects of Vyvanse, however, that does not necessarily mean the muscle aches are not being caused, at least in part, by the medication. It would be best to discuss this with your doctor or the pharmacist, they would have more information on the less common side effects.

 

I can tell you that a google search of vyvanse muscle aches did bring some results of people discussing the same symptoms as you have indicated.
