A member asked:

Does vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) cause headaches and muscle tension?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, it can.: Vyvanse, (lisdexamfetamine) like all the stimulants, can cause headaches and the tension you describe. Most side effects are dose related. Some times the headaches are from not eating or drinking enough on the medication. Please follow up with your prescribing physician for adjustment in your medication.
