A member asked:

Is it possible for vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) to lower my pain tolerance?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Glen Elliott answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Unsure: No particular reason i can think of that it should, except that it may be making you more anxious, which can affect pain tolerance. If you did not have this on other forms of stimulants, would not expect you to have it with vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine).

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed
