Can vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) 80mg/day cause epilepsy? i have been on the same dose for 3 yrs but seizures started only 3 months ago.

Maybe: Most stimulants can lower the seizure threshold. It would be very important to see a neurologist to rule out other causes of seizure.

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine): Timing of onset of seizures does not match. Best to consult a neurologist.
