REPORT

I have ADD and have been taking Vyvanse for almost a year now. I had never taken any medication before to help me with my ADD until Vyvanse.

The first few months on Vyvanse were great; I was getting really good grades in college, I was doing really well at work, and overall everything just seemed to be going very well for me. However, this great feeling didn't last for long.

For the past four months or so ,I have felt psychologically displaced. What I mean is that when I am now taking Vyvanse everything seems fake to me. I have also been trying to avoid my family and friends.

Vyvanse helped me stay focused on my daily activities, but at the same time it drained the life out of me, at first you don’t notice the really effects, but over time they creeps up on you.

I use to be full of life, I loved going out and having fun, and getting together with my friends and family, but now I just feel psychologically brain dead.

I’ve been trying my best to get of Vyvanse, but the withdrawal symptoms are so intense. It’s now been three days since I’ve taken a dose of Vyvanse ( 70mg) and I feel like crap. All I’ve been doing is sleeping, eating, and watching movies. I am hoping that the withdrawal symptoms will gradually pass within a couple more days and if they don’t I have to go in and seek some advice from my doctor, whom was very encouraging in helping me take this wonderful drug, thanks doc.

Is there any positive feedback out there or has this happened to anyone else?

I've been taking Vyvanse (40 mg) for about a year now. At first I really liked the effects - concentration, hyper-productivity, and even a bit of a buzz - but those effects have mostly worn off over time. Now I feel the good effects for a hour or so but mostly feel anxious and agitated. I've tried to stop taking the Vyvanse but I fill a need to refill the prescription everytime it runs out. I feel simply too tired for a day or two without it and I also crave the slight 'buzz' that I still get for a bit. My doctor said it's not supposed to be addictive but this sure seems like at least a mild 'addiction' of sorts, no? If anyone has any insight, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I have been on 50 mgs Vyanse for approx 10 months now, and I have stayed at 50 mgs the entire time, never once increasing the dosage. I do like the initial euphoria or burst of energy in the morning, however the comedown in the afternoon has become unbearable. I get extremely irritable, depressed, have terrible thoughts, and sometimes get emotional over stupid things. I desperately want to quit this medication for good, but to be honest, I am a little terrified of the withdrawal that could take place. Over time, I have become extremely dependant on this medication. In the past 10 months since I have started taking the med, I have yet to miss a day because I don't honestly think I could function without it. I feel as if it is the only thing that gives me any motivation to wake up in the morning and go to work. I love the initial "high" so much that I have been willing to sacrifice feeling like absolute crap during the other 80% of the day. ... I don't know how I should go about quitting......cold turkey or slowly weaning??? I am very afraid of getting panic attacks and possibly losing my job due to lack of motivation if I quit Vyvanse cold turkey. Any ideas or thoughts of comfort would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

My doctor stopped prescribing me Vyvance once I found out I was pregnant. This forced me to quit 60mg/day cold turkey and I must admit that this transition has been a complete nightmare. I know the first trimester of a pregnancy is rough, but combined with the withdrawl effects I am undergoing, I must admit that some days are unbearable. Extreme fatigue (falling asleep every 30 mins.), severe depression, thoughts of suicide.
I went from successfully managing work, college, and family life to barely being able to pull myself out of bed and function in the real world.
My advice is to gradually get off these meds!

There is no doubt that my son experienced severe withdrawal symptoms from Vyvanse. It took over 2 weeks for him to get over it. He was so tired and cranky he could barely move. He acted depressed. He is fully recovered now and I can see how his personality has returned to adorable from irritable. This drug is horrible.,

When I was on Vyvanse, I'd have a boost of energy about an hour or so into it and that would last maybe 1-2 hours but then it would turn from motivation to major anxiety. I would also have what I would describe as 'mini panic attacks' and little things would start worrying me in major ways. In the evenings, I suppose when the Vyvanse would wear off, I would sometimes feel depressed/down and very anti-social. All and all I found that I was on a rollercoaster of emotions while taking it. I have now been off of it for about 3 weeks or so and I cannot believe how much better I feel! No more anxiety, no mood swings, I feel upbeat and social but in a moderate, calm way. I can't believe I took Vyvanse and put up with the side effects for an entire year. I guess I thought I'd miss the 'rush' but my peace of mind has been a much better trade-off.

I just have to post, because since I started and stopped taking vyvanse, my life has completely changed. I am a 23 year old female who has always been ADD - just so forgetful, scatterbrained, and a PROcrastinator. The pressures and challenges of college brought a new level to my already anxious-ridden and insecure nature. I compensated with bulimia.

I have since learned, among a myriad of other things, that it is not uncommon for adolescent/young adult females who suffer from ADD to use such extreme self-medicating behavior as a control mechanism. Luckily I survived college - when this reached its worst I was almost out - but I knew I had to put an end to the bulimia. It was difficult, and I began seeing a therapist who, upon hearing my history of challenges, diagnosed ADD. I was prescribed 50mgs Vyvanse. And I wasn't stupid, I knew about the weight loss side effects. Quite an attraction and security blanket for me at the time. With a new job starting, it seemed like exactly what I needed in order to focus and succeed worry-free. How wrong I was.

As many have written, the tolerance increased quite quickly. Work was fun and... Addictive. To the point where I felt immensely and unnaturally angsty when I had to leave for the day, normally after I'd already obsessively worked much longer than necessary. My personality was no longer simply a playful mix of passionate and lighthearted. It was explosive. Fits of crying and late nights contemplating all the failures of my life were typical. During these common late night episodes I endured panic attacks after convincing myself I was developing various types of cancer.
I was a psychotic mess, and I should not have subjected myself to this drug for so long. I tried to be "good" with each new prescription. I would only take one a day. Then it would be one and a half, then two... Then three over the course of a day. And then, several times, it became four. This is the first I've talked about this, by the way. It ashames me to think I would do this to my body and mind, but that's how powerfully I enjoyed the fleeting positive effects. However, it all ended on my most recent birthday. It was four in the morning and my heart was pounding way too hard and I couldn't stop envisioning hurting myself before dying from a heart attack. Though I had just gotten the prescription the week before and after taking a break for a couple weeks, the only thing I could do to make myself feel in the least way hopeful was open each remaining capsule to dump the contents into my wet sink. Through tears I did this pill by pill. After 7 months, I finally succumbed to the reality that wanting to be overly efficient, productive, and organized was not what was going to make me live happily, let alone live, period. The human brain is not supposed to concentrate for the frequency and duration that mine did on vyvanse, and I was determined to let it free to be itself.

After a month of nothing, My doctor prescribed strattera. This is a non-amphetamine with zero addictive potential, and was in fact originally marketed as an anti-depressant with anti-anxiety benefits. Though obviously marketed for ADD now, it certainly exhibits its formerly-advertised qualities. I've been taking this medicine for about two months now, and I am a completely new person. Most importantly, I am me, but enhanced. That is, I am finally realizing, what these sort of medications are supposed to do - they are intended to improve our lives by fully opening the doors in our minds. For me, vyvanse could not do this because the anxious and compulsive wiring of my brain proved combustible with the amphetamine. However, I can say that while on vyvanse, I learned to eat correctly again and was not afraid to do so. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Since stopping the vyvanse, this has not changed. I eat: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I eat proper portions and drink much more water than I used to. I have gained ten pounds and am happy to report it. I finally feel full and ALIVE! I am focused at work but work 8 hours and can say goodnight when it's time. I can stay on task but do not have any issues having lighthearted conversations and leaving activities be for awhile. I sleep regularly, even after a stressful or emotional day. This is the kind of lifestyle I know as normal, and it took a long journey to be so damn appreciative of what is basic.

I strongly urge anyone who is struggling with the side effects of these medications to read these forums and understand that something CAN be done and SHOULD be changed. If you must take more than is prescribed, then more than that, something is amiss and something more fitting for you exists. Remember, you should strive to keep the positive aspects of your life ALONGSIDE enhancing the ones that are bringing you down. Much love and peace to you in your journies!

My husband has been on Vyvanse for over a year and he has increasingly become very hostile. We found ourselves in marriage counseling and in the psychiatrist's office. The doctor encouraged more Vyvanse and starting Lamictal. Twice I mentioned the hostility problem to the doc who just blew me off. Finally, after a horrible act of hostility my husband took himself off Vyvanse cold turkey. It has been a week today and he is still dragging. When do you think he will be feeling more energetic? By the way, the day he stopped taking the Vyvanse the hostility stopped. I feel like the sweet person he really is has returned and the monster Vyvanse made him is gone. How could the doc miss this? I read the bold print in the Vyvanse info sheet with a huge warning.

John,
I had the very same fears when I was considering giving up Vyvanse but I'm SO glad I did it. My main side effects were feeling very tired with bad headaches at times...but I could still get up and go to work. Although I wasn't as productive, I still got things done at work while going through the withdrawal. Now, that it's over, I can't tell you how much I love being back to my old self. Yeah, no more little buzz but not having that afternoon anxiety is well worth it. I didn't realize how angry and irritable I had been for that year on Vyvanse...until I gave it up. Oh and I stopped cold turkey. I couldn't wean...I either want it daily or I have to cut it out entirely. I took the last pill in my prescription and that was that. Doctor said it was okay to do also. Good luck to you...it's hard to give up but personally I am SO glad I did!

This drug is highly addictive. It makes food smell bad and KILLS appetite. While it helps with focus 70mg does not last as long as it should and the buzz it gives (thirty minutes - just like cocaine) is too strong, tempting abuse. Honestly, I don't know what my psychiatrist was thinking. How are these people getting away with saying it's not addictive? Because you can't snort it? So what? So I suppose all drugs in all pill form are now not addictive? Withdrawl last about a week and begins about twelve hours after last dose. In other words, this is not a twenty four hour drug. If you cant sleep, there is an extreme chance that you will want to take it again at 3 am. It also can make you hyper sexual while making erections hard to achieve at the same time. It is amazing to me that the FDA let this drug out and that doctor drug dealers are pushing it. The only pleasant part of withdraw is when you start to appreciate food again and your jaw steps hurting. Just another stimulant, folks. Horrifying that they are putting children on this stuff. Horrifying.

Hi. 23/Male. I just quit vyvance after intensely researching the effects that stimulants can bring onto someone. They're serious issues. I'll first tell you that I took adderall XR 20mg for 4 years straight (almost every day) and switched over to vyvance 30mg about a year ago. I had gotten so tired of feeling the way I do from taking this stuff- I knew I needed some answers and also some changes. After intense research, I knew I needed to QUIT immediately. People, this stuff is bad for you. I had definitely noticed changes in my personality and even felt anxious at times for no reason! I had never had any types of anxiety my whole life! Number one thing that was terrible was dependence of the Adderall/Vyvance. I felt that I needed it to function. You may feel that way but that's not the case-you DON'T NEED IT..withdrawal sucks and you have to fight through a couple rough weeks but once your body adjusts to not taking it, you gain your body's natural energy and overall health back. Personally, I am very disappointed in Many "doctors" out there. They should warn people and encourage them NOT to start taking these stimulants-instead, they write off scripts like it's no big deal. In conclusion- Extreme fatigue when not taken, dependence/addiction just to feel like you can function normally, changes in sleep patterns, jittery/shaky feelings, DEVELOPING anxieties you never had before, an just feeling braindead and not how you used to anymore. Just like most drugs out in the world, people will always realize that you end up taking a drug to help with one thing, then you ALWAYS end up having Many other problems as a result from taking the drug. Go natural, get the drugs out of your system, eat healthy, exercise, and have a positive outlook on life and you will see that those are the only things you need to feel alright and be productive in school/ a job etc..

Jeff - P.S. - I too was very worried that I wouldn't be able to accomplish anything at work...and elsewhere if I gave up Vyvanse. In addition, I loved the 'buzz' and was very reluctant to give that up. As it turns out, I am able to get things done...and sometimes I have to give myself an extra push...but things are accomplished and I feel really good I can do that without the medication. I wish you all of the best...hang in there...there IS a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi, I'm a 19 year old female college student. I want to share with people the dangers of this drug. I am very frightened by how it has affected me, and how quickly I was put on this drug that truly has addictive properties.
I was put on Vyvanse a year ago after my first semester in college by my psychiatrist (she's been my doctor since I was 8 years old, after my dad died). I have been treated for depression and anxiety since 8 years old on Paxil, then Prozac (said to be safer than Paxil), then Prozac and Bupropion (for fatigue symptoms), and finally Prozac and Vyvanse last year.
I did poorly my first year adjusting to college--I hit an all time low in depression due to major life events. My doctor put me on Vyvanse because I was exhibiting signs of ADD in not being able to focus on my work, procrastinating, etc. Also my fatigue was awful. She said ADD symptoms could have been masked by my anxiety when I was younger. I was desperate for a cure--I've never done so poorly in school and can't afford to because I'm shooting for med school. So I jumped on it. It was the worst mistake of my life. Vyvanse was a miracle at first--I wasn't falling asleep in my classes or during the day and could focus for hours straight. It was the craziest thing and I loved it. I knew instinctively that it was not good for me, however. I couldn't sleep at all at night and ate hardly anything the first week or so on Vyvanse. Then those side-effects started to taper down and I just had trouble getting to sleep at night.
I've never done recreational drugs or even had a drink of alcohol because I'm afraid of the addictive properties and addiction runs in my family (my dad, a doctor, had depression/anxiety and died of a narcotics overdose). I tried to make this drug right in my mind because my doctor, who I trusted, told me it was formulated to not be addictive and be unable to abuse. But I felt high when I took it--my mind and heart would race, and I felt overall elated. It was all fake though--that's where you get in trouble. I totally agree with some of the previous posters about feeling this psychological numbness. It creeps up on you and you don't notice it until you're far gone--totally out of the world. I started isolating myself from others and became more depressed. My self esteem started plummeting incredibly. I felt worthless and like life didn't have meaning. I've been feeling this way for so long--it's scary. I can definitely see how someone could hurt themselves or others on this drug because it changes you--it induces a kind of psychosis, an unrealistic, unattached view of the world.


I thought Vyvanse was helping me focus and do better in my classes, but it actually backfired. My study habits were no better on Vyvanse in actuality. In fact, I was more apt to be distracted and focus for hours on something unrelated to my studies--like social justice, or news events. Time flew by really fast and I could waste it away without realizing it. Then I started picking at my skin and pulling my hair. It became an addiction and I could spend hours pulling my leg hair with tweezers without realizing it. I had so much pent up energy on this drug that had to go somewhere--into something consistent and mindless. So I became addicted to pulling my hair out. I was also picking at my face--I started to look like a meth addict. That scared me. I tried to stop Vyvanse 6 months into it when I realized how bad it was, but the withdrawal symptoms brought me back. I was sleeping all day long, and I was angry and frustrated at everything. This time aroud I've decided for sure I'm quitting. My psychiatrist is dying of cancer so I have a new doctor and it seems like time for change. I can't keep going on like this. And two days into withdrawal, I do feel tired, I do crave the drug somewhat, but when I do--I have to remind myself what it was like on the drug. I haven't felt true happiness since I started Vyvanse. I've been mentally numb for so long, I didn't know how it felt. The first day off the drug I felt that happiness when the water hit me in the shower and I feel alive again. I just pray to God that Vyvanse didn't permanently affect my brain. I used to be so smart and creative. I hope I can get that creativity and true will to live and better myself every day back. Please think hard before taking this drug, and especially putting your child on it. My heart breaks for them. Why would any child need to be on this drug? They are children--they are supposed to run around and be happy. They are supposed to be creative and slightly impulsive. On Vyvanse, I fear they will be numb and disappear just like I did. I fear for these children. Please, please realize the dangers of this drug and the proximity of its effects to recreational, addictive drugs like amphetamines. Because that's what it is.

Hello everyone! My problems with vyvanse started within the first week of taking it. I was first prescribed 70 mg per day approx 2.5 years ago and completely loved the way it made me feel. The only thing I did not like was that the effects, or "high" of the drug wore off 4-5 hrs after taking it. To prevent this from happening, my Dr. upped the dose to 140 mg per day. 1 70mg in the morning, and 1 70 mg after lunch. I was prescribed this drug after a 10 year opiate addiction that completely destroyed my life. The end of my opiate addiction was supposed to be the beginning of a new life, not the beginning of a new addiction. I detoxed from opiates through suboxone treatment and this took about 1 year to get through. The very day I told my Dr. I was ready to stop the suboxone treatment, he started me on the Vyvanse. My life was just starting to become normal again until this new prescription was filled. I have been addicted to almost every drug in the book to some extent, and the "high" this drug produced made it impossible for me to take it without abusing it. Over the course of the first year on vyvanse, I watched in a daze as everything I had worked so hard to build back up was rapidly being taken back away from me. Several months cosecutively I would take the entire bottle of 60 70 mg pills within 2 weeks, then spend the next 2 weeks trying to recover from the withdrawls until getting the script refilled again. I was on probation at this time, and my weight had dropped so significantly my probation officer was accusing and testing me for methamphetamines. After about 1 year of continuing in this destructive pattern, I simply could not take care of myself anymore. The script was costing almost 300.00 per month, and getting it filled was put before paying bills, eating, or getting a job. At 33 years old, I ended up living at my parents house again and am still there now. My struggles with this drug still continue, but I am slowly and surely getting my life back on track again. Through the course of my time staying here, I have had upon my request, the dosage lowered from 140 down to 70, 50, and currently at 40 mg and WILL end this nightmare at this dosage. The past year I have primarily taken the drug as prescribed at 1 pill per day with occasional slip ups. When the desire to get "high" has been to much to handle, I have achieved this by buying adderal from friends. Doing this only makes it harder to stop altogether. Primarily because coming down off a intense amphetamine high is almost unbearable. The past month I have taken the prescribed dose of 50 mgs correctly and every day as it wears off after a few hrs, the rest of the day consists primarily of extreme headaches, body aches, and agitation. I have gotten myself back into the workforce and have not missed a day of work in 4 months even though each day is miserable when taking this drug. I recently went 40 days cold turkey without vyvanse and was beginning to get my life under control again only to give in to my haunting temptations and refill the script once again. This week I requested that my dosage be lowered to 40 mg and have begun to build the confidence within my mind again that it will take to make another attempt to end this destructive cycle of life I am living. The hardest part is coming to the conclusion that this drug in no way can be beneficial to me because of my past drug abuse history. Over the course of this addiction, I have repeatedly convinced myself that I can take vyvanse as prescribed and it will help me gain control of my life again. This just is not possible! My only option is to suck it up, be a man, and fight through all of my problems with the help of God and the healing power of our Lord Jesus Christ. The only good thing this drug has done for me was put me back in the house of my parents whom are both Christians, and are willing to stand by me while I overcome yet another addiction that has destroyed my life. When I was a young boy I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, but by the age of 14 I began to use drugs heavily and chose idolatry of drugs over a relationship with God through Jesus. Over the past year, I have been getting involved in Church again and have begun to surround myself with Godly people whom have supported me and helped me in any way they can. This addiction is minor now compared to how bad it was at this time last year. My relationship with God is blooming again, and I am beginning to enjoy the way his love for me feels alot more than the way Vyvanse makes me feel. Over the period that I went 40 days without vyvanse my love for Jesus was renewed to how it was as a child, and God began to bless my life in many ways. After relapsing and starting on the drug again a little over a month ago, I can feel his grace starting to slowly move out of my life again. This let's me know it is time to stop this childish game once and for all and put my trust in the Lord to lead and guide me within his will for my life. I completely believe God will once again restore my life and renew my mind, all I have to do his give up this drug and follow. Sometimes this is easier said than done, but we must all at some point put our trust in the lord and lean not unto our own understanding. My own understanding has always been that I need a drug to feel normal and be able to function within this world. The only thing I truly need to change my life is his love and grace to be first in my life. This was made clear to me within the 40 days I went without vyvanse, and by own choice I made the decision to start taking it again. I have no one to blame but me for putting myself in this situation again, but through faith and perseverance, God will bless me with the strength and courage to fight and win this battle once again. The choice to stay on the right path belongs to me. Although it may not be the road I'm used to traveling on, it is the road I choose to stay on. I hope this helps some of you who find yourselves becoming hopelessly addicted to this drug to see how bad it really can be. The potential for abuse is always there, and the more you take, the more it will take you! This level of abuse is certainly not normal, but as you just read, it is a reality. Do what you can now to get yourself as far away from amphetamines as you can, and stay away! It is not meant for long term use in the first place, and the longer you use it the more distant your life will become. Put your trust in God and he will deliver you from the stronghold that vyvanse has put over your life. From reading the posts on this site, most of the people have the desire to break free from this drug. Let God be your will and your way. I will keep you all posted on how it is going for me as I begin to practice what I'm preaching! Hahaha! As the scipture says, I can do all things through Christ who strengthenth me!

Hey! So far I am on day 10 without vyvanse, and I an starting to feel good again! Today is the best I've felt in a while. My normal thoughts and feelings are coming back again, and the horrible feeling if total paranoia is almost gone. Last week was terrible! Every muscle in my body hurt, and every thought in my head was negative. All I wanted to do was go climb back in bed and sleep through it all. I went to work every day regardless of how bad I felt, and I think that helped alot. If nothing else it has made work alot easier this week. Going to church on wedsday night and Sunday helped alot too! My spirit was recharged and I left there in confidence that this problem is going to be lifted from me soon. The worst part is over, now it's just staying away and not relapsing again!

I take Vyvanse and there are definitely withdrawal symptoms.

"Some people who use Vyvanse for a long time may develop a need to continue taking it. People who take high doses are also at risk. This is known as DEPENDENCE or addiction. If you stop taking Vyvanse suddenly, you may have WITHDRAWAL symptoms. These may include severe or unusual sadness, agitation, or fatigue." [1]

For me, at first it's just the lethargy and lack of motivation. Then at 12-16 hrs I start to freak out. I don't think I've gone more than a day without it though. It should be taken away gradually.

Mary:
I absolutely understand the hostility aspect of Vyvanse! I would lash out at people when irritated-but it would be a much more severe reaction than would be typical with me. At times I felt rage - but it was typically out of proportion to whatever was going on. I stopped taking Vyvanse finally a week ago and have been extremely tired and cranky but the hostility seems to be gone so far. I feel SO much more relaxed and just generally get along better with the people around me. I don't think you or your husband are imagining this at all. I had three MAJOR falling outs with friends and family while I was on Vyvanse (for about a year). I was tired of the conflict and the irritation and am so glad I've stopped. Get a second opinion if you can - especially if your doctor is dismissive of what you're telling him/her. Good luck!
