Question 1

i'm 16 yrs old and weigh 170 what amount of my 70 mg vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) can i take that would kill me?

Accepted Answer

Why do you ask?: These are thoughts you should not be having. You can find something better than death anywhere. Your mind is playing a cruel trick on you. You should talk with your personal physician about thoughts of suicide. Talk treatment, medication, and/or intervention in a life situation can turn your life around. If you're losing control, call 911. Please do this for yourself. Best wishes.

Question 2

if i take enough vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) will it keep me awake to do my work, without overdosing?

Accepted Answer

Not a great idea: The use of stimulants for staying up for long periods of time is longstanding.  It can be effective in the short run; but, depending on how long you need to stay up, you may end up requiring quite high doses, which increases the risk of side effects.  Moreover, people need sleep:  it's good for you.  Also, not clear that information crammed in while on stimulants is readily available later.

Question 3

i was prescribed 40 mg vyvanse, but i'm really scared to take it because i don't like things that change the way i think.

Accepted Answer

I suggest you: talk further with either your pharmacist or your prescribing physician.  It sounds like you don't yet have a good understanding of how Vyvanse works.

Question 4

can i take vyvanse with duphalac?

Accepted Answer

: According to Lexicomp, there appears to be no drug interaction risk between those two drugs. Please double check on the manufacturers labeling for both drugs

Question 5

can i take cold medication with 30 mg vyvanse?

Accepted Answer

: Many decongestant cold medications contain stimulants and shouldn't be combined with Vyvanse. You should check the ingredients and avoid any that contain ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or propanolamine. Antihistamines shouldn't be a problem.

Question 6

can i take coq-10 with vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)?

Accepted Answer

No study: No study has done  coq 10 good for muscle enzyme specially useful when you take with statin but there is no interaction if you want as supplement.

Question 7

can i take vyvanse and topical metronidazol todether?

Accepted Answer

Pharmacist: Vyvanse can interact with many medications but I didn't find metronidazole to be one. Your pharmacist can also answer this and other questions about your medications as he/she has access to much more information about these matters.

Question 8

my adult son takes 90 mg of vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)?

Accepted Answer

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine): The question is, is it working correctly for him and not causing side effects.  If so then encourage him to live healthy lifestyle and follow up with his doctor, afterall that's what a good dad does.

Question 9

how harmful for your health is it to take vyvanse/adderal?

Accepted Answer

Pls Clarify: Your question is not very clear however, I am going to guess that you are worried about the side effects or addictive elements of stimulants.  
Vyvance and Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) are both fda approved for the treatment of attention deficit disorder.   
These medications, can also be abused.  Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is a mixture of amphetamines.  Caution must be used in people with personal or family history of heart disease.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Emergency attention: Seek emergency medical attention or call the poison help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) can be fatal. 
Od symptoms may include restlessness, tremor, muscle twitches, rapid breathing, confusion, hallucinations, panic, aggressiveness, muscle pain or weakness, fever or flu symptoms, & dark colored urine. These symptoms may be followed by depression and tiredness.
