A member asked:

Why is vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) making my head feel "cloudy"? is this normal? how do i change this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ADHD or no ADHD: If you have adhd, then paradoxically vynase can in excess can decrease mental acuity. But if you don't have adhd, then use of amphetamine is not medically indicated (unless you have narcolepsy). So if your head is cloudy only when taking vynase and you do have adhd, cutting back on the dose should be tried first.
