Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine): Talk with her doctor about possibly trying alternative ADHD medications such as Focalin, (dexmethylphenidate) to see if tolerated better.

Inform her doctor: gastrointestinal side effects are common with the drug, but if cannot be tolerated, your doctor would advise you on the next step, good luck
