Question 1

hello dr. i have a question about vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). is there anything i can do to rid of the amphetamine in my system/urine faster?  drinks? food? exercise?

Accepted Answer

No: none of those things actually have any significant effect on how most drugs are excreted from the body.  Large amounts of liquid may dilute urine enough to cause a chemical to fall below the "detection threshhold" of the test, but such dilute urine itself will be detected and is considered a "failed" urine.  If it's prescribed, it should not be a problem. If not, getting caught least of worries.

Question 2

is it ok to have caffeine while taking vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)?

Accepted Answer

Only you can tell. : Caffeine is a stimulant. Unlike stimulant medications, it does not specifically target receptors in areas  of the brain that inhibit  behavior &amp; sustain attention to  salient information or tasks.The maximum adult dose of Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is 70 mg./day. Caffeine is not contra-indicated, but some patients report that taking both causes them to have increased anxiety, agitation, irritability &amp;/or insomnia.

Question 3

taking ambien and vyvanse at the same time. is it bad for you?

Accepted Answer

No: It wont cause harm. Although I wonder if you need to take both of them. Vyvnase is brain stimulator and ambien will do the opposite.

Question 4

should i eat before taking vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) or after?

Accepted Answer

No food, normal diet: You should not take vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) with food to ensure that it absorbs properly into your system. Taking vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) after you have eaten may cause drowsiness, or may result in the patient falling asleep. In some cases, you will be instructed to open the capsule and dissolve the contents in a glass of water to consume your dose. This is typically used for children who are too young to swallow pills. Do not c.

Question 5

why does time go faster while taking vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)?

Accepted Answer

Better focus : My guess would be that improving your focus makes it seem as though time goes faster.

Question 6

how come i don't feel anything when taking 30mg of  vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)?

Accepted Answer

Need higher dose: You may need to ask your docotr to adjust the dose up. If higher dose is not effective enough to control your add or adhd, then you may want to discuss a change of medication. Keep in mind that your weight and fat percentage plays a huge factor plus the way you are taking the medication plus the acidity level of the stomach secretion plus the ph level of your body.

Question 7

does vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) begin to start working about an hour after taking it?

Accepted Answer

Not quite: Delivery mechanism breaks down and begins to enter system in one hour, average time to peak level is 4 hours.

Question 8

i'm going to be taking vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) for the first time, can you tell me what to expect?

Accepted Answer

Assume for ADHD/ADD: You should expect that you will be more focused and be able to concentrate better. You will be less distractible. Your energy should be better and should have less of a tendency to be forgetful. You should feel calmer. You should find yourself better able to complete tasks and to be less of a procrastinator. The best you may find yourself speaking less, more appropriately, and interrupting others less.It should be easier to focus on one task.You may experience a mild increase in anxiety if you are an anxious person. Any internal restlessness however should begin to die down.You may experience a decrease in appetite and some difficulty with insomnia. Your doctor can help you with both of those. Best wishes.

Question 9

since vyvanse increases your metabolism, does that mean if i stop taking it my metabolism will slow down?

Accepted Answer

: Vyvanse does not increase metabolism but its possible metabolic side effects are appetite loss and decreased weight. So if you have these side effects with Vyvanse then you may regain your appetite and the lost weight when you stop this medication. Take care.

Question 10

is taking vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) everyday bad and is vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) tolerance a real thing?

Accepted Answer

ADHD is a neuro-: developmental disorder that one has 24/7. Narcolepsy occurs daily. A valid diagnosis of either warrants daily dosing, as Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) works in 1 1/2-2 hours, peaks at  ~ 6 hours &amp; wears off in 12-14 hours. Tachyphylaxis or tolerance in ADHD is treated by titrating dose to 70 mg./day, adding non-stimulant medication or changing stimulant.
