Vyvanse and horrible restless legs !!!!

I started vyvanse 30mg for adhd yesterday. I am 33 (f) weight 178. I took my pill and at night had horrible restless legs. Then tonight again I’m sitting here sobbing and moving my body around in ways I didn’t know I could in order to stretch my muscles. It’s in my legs and my arms. Please any advice is welcome 🙏

Easiest way to pickup my prescription out of my home state?

Hello. Currently a resident of NY and prescribed Vyvanse through my psychiatrist in NY. I will be working in Los Angeles California for an extended period of time and my psychiatrist in NY said they are not licensed to prescribe my medication nor treat me in California.
Without having California insurance or residency what would be the easiest way to request a prescription via a video visit with a psychiatrist here? In other words, knowing I will have to pay out of pocket, what is the best verbiage to use in order to just request a prescription rather than new treatment?
Thanks!

Is this too much Ritalin a day?

I’ve been on Ritalin for about two months now, my Dr started me on 10mg three times a day for the first week then increased to 15mg three times a day for the second week and that’s what I’ve been taking for the last two months.

Ive just had a review with my Dr to see how I’ve been going on the Ritalin and I ve been much better in it than I was without it, however I find the effects wear off after 3 hours for me and I get a drop and have to wait for the next dose and for it to kick in.

Because of this my Dr said I can take 15mg every three hours instead of the previous every 4 hours. He said I can do this 4 times or 5 times a day if I need. Which would mean I take 15mg up to 5 times in a day for a total of 75mg of Ritalin in a day. Is this too much? Also I don’t know why i need to take it multiple times in a day instead of being switched to the long acting medication that I only need to take nice a day
