Dose too high?
Hey guys I’m been taking vyvanse for the past 3 months. ( F22, 92lb, 5”4) I started with 20mg took that for a month then 30mg for a month and now I started taking 40mg 3 days ago. Moved up to 40 because I felt some days 30mg just didn’t work for me while other days it worked really well. Perhaps me taking breaks played a role not sure. I also don’t experience any crashes or the medication doesn’t wear off for me it’s continuous thruout the day. With 20mg it was really hard for me to eat but got a bit better, 30mg eating was easier but I had to pee constantly every 10 min small quantities. Taht also got better and fine over time as well. With 40mg it’s been really different. My heart rate is up constantly thruout the day causing me to have a hard time sleeping and chest lowkey hurts as well. I’m also getting these sharp pain/cramping in my stomach as well my lower back. The cramping in my stomach has been there for the last 2 days now. With 40mg I’m also been feeling gloomy really stressed but I’m not sure if that’s the medication or if it’s me stressed about school. Ever since I got on vyvanse my eating habits have gone down. It’s hard for me to eat large quantities. The main issue is at that times I feel nauseous or I end up choking/gagging on it. It scares me if this will be forever as I’m a skinny person and thruout my life have always had difficulty gaining weight as well I’m vegetarian. With 30mg and 40mg it’s hard going to the bathroom as I’m constipated and just takes a lot of pressure. I’m not sure if this is just a normal side effect of 40mg as it’s my 4th day taking it and perhaps it will get better in a week or 2 or I need to lower my dose. Sorry if this is a long post I have tried talkinf to pharmacists and doctors and they aren’t being very helpful at all. Any help would be much appreciated. This is all very overwhelming.
