Vyvanse and Blood Pressure
I wrote a few weeks ago about switching from Concerta to a new medication. When I went in to my doctor, he noticed that my blood pressure had hit a dangerous range and I had to start medication for that. I am 25 years old and feel like I am way too young for this, but he thinks it is likely due to the fact that ADD meds are mostly amphetamines. Now that my blood pressure is under control, yesterday my doctor prescribed Vyvanse to try. Since I was on 54 mg Concerta, he started me at 50 mg of Vyvanse. I took it this morning and can certainly feel the positive effects. Does anyone know if Vyvanse has the same effect on blood pressure? Also, I started working out again after I found out about the BP and I am using a heart rate monitor... and I notice that my heart rate spikes very quickly and my resting pulse rate is also high. Is this because of the medication? Is there any way to counteract this effect naturally without BP medication? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated! |

vyvanse
My son takes vyvanse and it doesn't raise his blood pressure. Are you sure you Have ADHD, because if stimulants are raising your BP you may have some other disorder mimicking ADHD symptoms? |

Blood pressure
Yes, I'm sure. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago and again in August because I am applying for testing accommodations on the California Bar Exam. I have a family history of blood pressure issues and I've also been in law school for over 2 years (aka lots of stress) so the doc said it could be any number of those causing the BP issues. |

Stress Management
It sounds like it could be stress causing your blood pressure to spike. Never underestimate the strain that stress can put on the body. If it is affecting your blood pressure then you need to learn how to manage stress. I use exercise to manage stress. Some people use meditation, yoga, etc. Sometimes managing stress is as easy as remembering to breathe . . .

Stress
Thank you Dena. Honestly, I am sure that's really what the major issue is... I haven't had much of a break from the stress in over 2 years now! I started getting back into the gym 4-5 days a week a few weeks ago and that is definitely helping I think. I also am seeing positive results from the Vyvanse thus far. Thanks again for the advice! :) |
