I started taking my vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) for the first time in a really long time today and its giving me really bad anxiety. how long should this side effect last?

Unclear: This particular drug is an amphetamine. You may be using for ADD. If you started on the same dose you were last on, you may be taking too much to start with. You need to work up to the right dose. You should stop the drug for now and see your doctor for advice to see how you should take it.
