A member asked:
If i am diagnosed with depression, will my psychiatrist take me off my vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) prescription?

Depends: on whether the HAADD is controlled or contributing to your depression. Very often BT or ongoing psychology consultation.

Not necessarily: It depends upon why you’re prescribed it (ADD/ADHD), if it’s treating your underlying problem and not causing side effects, if it's contributing to your depression, that there are no drug interactions if you require treatment for depression, as well as other factors. I would recommend discussing these issues with your prescriber. Good luck!
