Vyvanse 30 too strong

I am a 58 year old recently diagnosed ADD "survivor". While I am certain that ADD with depression is the right diagnosis I am not very successful with the medication. I began with Vyvanse 30 mg and was increased to 50 mg. What a disaster. The crash is terrible, I felt like I was on an adreneline high constantly, my hands shake and my emotions are swinging incrediably. I was reduced to 30 mg and many of the symptoms are lessened but the problems with the shakes, emotions and adreneline problems remain. I am not concentrating as well as with the 50 mg. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Try some herbal remedies. I have been on almost every ADD medicine and have experienced the worst of the side effects. I think the best thing is to eliminate sugar, improve the diet, and look for some sort of herbal treatment.

it comes in a lower dose

their website says it comes in a 20mg capsule. Ask your doctor.

Problem with Vyvanse

Marthaflex,

It is also very possible that it is not the Vyvanse per se. If someone has anxiety that is untreated and takes a stimulant, it will make the anxiety much worse. Same thing if an individual has untreated bipolar disorder. Check with your doctor to be evaluated for a possible anxiety disorder, perhapsy Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Anxiety frequently accompanies ADHD and/or depression.

Good luck, Elaine
