My doctor started me on 20 mg of Vyvanse and told me to start at 20 for a couple days and then go up to 30 if I needed to. She told me NOT to jump right into a higher dose, because I would feel awful. 40 mg might be too high for you.

Thanks Jenny and I think you're right. I dissolved the capsule contents in water yesterday and drank 1/2 of it and that helped me feel better, but I still got a horrible headache around 4 and it was really bad by 9:00!! I did't take it all today even though I have test. I called me Dr. so I'm waiting to see what they say. I hope the're something that will help my adhd and not make me feel so bad!!

My 10 year old had the same reaction to too high of a dose of Vyvanse. We tried 60 and he felt so bad - jittery, elevated heart rate, etc. 40 seemed too low so we're down to 50 now with the addition of a med for the anxiety - seems to be ok for now. Definitely have your dr. lower that dose! good luck.

I felt jittery at first too, and my doc asked how much caffeine I was consuming. I'd been using that to wake me up, and once I cut down to just a morning cup of tea, the jitters went away. It's also good to have protein at breakfast. I'm more amped up when I haven't eaten well.
