| 4 | Adhd | Loss of appetite ,weight loss but when I don't take it I'm extra hungry , dry mouth , I urinate & poop 50 times a day while on this & I don't eat oR drink anything , insomnia | I hate the dry mouth & binge eating when not on it but I can see a difference in school and work when I'm on it and the weight loss is a plus I just wish It didn't have those extra side effects & the trick to getting your sleep back is by taking the medication earlier in the day for ex I take mines at 7 am | F | 17 | 2 years 50 mg 1x D | 3/28/2016 | 4 | Depression | Dry mouth. Worst is weight loss. Loss of interest in eating 10 lbs in two months mild headache all the time. Works good gives clarity of mind. To bad I have to quit taking I'm only 130 lbs | F | 67 | 10 months 20 | 3/25/2016 | 3 | Impulsiveness, ADHD, eating habits | I experience intense stomach pains, extreme headaches, loss of appetite and appeal to foods, not being able to fall asleep at night, either being very positive or very lazy and not committed. | I don't entirely recommend it. Yes t helps with my ADHD but the side effects are no joke and can impact your day. It's hard to do normal everyday things when I can't move due to an upset stomach. | F | 17 | 1 months 60 MG | 2/23/2016 | 3 | ADHD and Aniexty | No side effects really! I feel a little calmer than when I took Adderrall 30 mgs twice a day years ago!! I notice that it doesn't really suppress my appetite! Like the Adderall did!! I also take Effexor XR 150 mg for aniexty!! | F | 52 | 3 weeks 40mg | 2/17/2016 | 3 | Over eating | It lasts between 6-7hours, when it wears off. I eat nonstop. | I was hoping the dosage would last a little longer,because when it wears off, you'll feel the hunger coming back, or if there's such thing as a booster. | F | 37 | 1 days 40 | 2/15/2016 | 3 | ADD | Attitude change, irritability headaches, jitteriness, weight loss, appetite suppression, dry mouth, increased heart rate, | I was diagnosed with ADD in high school but was never medicated. In college I decided to try ADD medications to help me with schoolwork and time management. Vyvanse has helped me to focus and get things done but within 2 weeks of starting it I lost 10 pounds. I found that this worked better than concerta but that TRULY NEITHER WERE WORTH TAKING. I was prescribed concerta first and took it for 6 months. I had a lot of side effects with concerta and decided to try vyvanse to see if I would have less side effects. For the first few weeks I noticeably thought vyvanse worked a lot better. Then I started to see similar if not worse side effects. My mood and attitude completely changed on vyvanse. At first I didn't notice but my family, my boyfriend, and my friends did. I'm normally a outgoing, loving, devoted, goofy, and charismatic. However on Vyvanse I am jittery, awkward, emotionless, uncaring, unfriendly, irritable, and even aggressive. Not only does it change my attitude I can feel myself coming down off of it at night. Not to mention I get constant headaches, to the point were every morning I take tylenol with it and at night I take tylenol pm to help me sleep. On the weekends when I don't take vyvanse I'm back to myself except I'm so sleepy and groggy that I can hardly function. Overall Vyvanse and Concerta are not worth taking; I find a positive attitude, work ethic, and adapting ADD by myself is a much healthier and happier option for me and everyone I am around. | F | 21 | 3 months 30mg 1X day | 2/14/2016 | 4 | ADD | No appetite at all for hours on end, insomnia, weight loss | It's the best ADD medication I've experimented with for school/studying. (With a presciption of course) I would stay on it but I have a really hard time eating on it, but I also do remember the dose being too high for me. It was also my starting dose as well. | F | 18 | 1 months 60mg | 2/4/2016 | 4 | ADHD | Loss of appetite, happier mood, euphoria (starting about 15 minutes after I take the pill lasting for about a half hour), increased confidence, increased sweating, teeth clenching | This medication is not only good for ADD/ADHD, but also for depression. I never thought I could be as happy as I am while the dose of Vyvanse is active. I'm much friendlier, more confident, and less irritable. I take it on days I have school (Monday-Thursday) and not on the weekends. Watch out for the crash, it makes me pretty tired and burned out. Don't take it if you have plans for later in the night. | M | 22 | 120 days 70 1X day | 2/3/2016 | 1 | step mom thought I had ADHD | I didn't even know my own name had the worst withdraw symptoms I have ever had. Caused me to find out recently that because of my miss diagnosis I can now never have children because my body became severely under developed. I weighed a grand total of 83 pounds and looked like a dead person walking. I would never reccomend this to anyone giving this to your child may kill them in the long run parents. Or even better you may never get grand babies. This is the worst drug created it goes hand in hand with adderall XR. Please I beg of you use common sense when dealing with kids you can screw thier lives up forever !!! Sincerely, Raven Nightshade | Don't give this to your kids please I know from experience | F | 26 | 5 years 75mg | 1/29/2016 | 4 | ADD | I can focus, I can complete tasks, I can process information and not get overwhelmed. I don't have the self doubt and confusion when making decisions (as much). I am calmer and better able to do work. | F | 46 | 300 days 50 mg 1X day | 1/26/2016 | 2 | Binge Eating | This stuff makes me so jittery and I cannot stop cracking my thumbs and chewing on the inside of lips. My joints feel so stiff and achy. Instead of helping me control my binge eating, it has made me binge even worse and gain 15 pounds since I started taking it a few months ago. I think the stuff makes me so jittery and nervous that I am constantly eating to calm my nerves or something. At one point my doctor increased my dose to 60 mg thinking maybe I just needed a higher dose. I was a wreck on 60 mg! I felt so sick to my stomach, paranoid, wired and exhausted at the same time. Terrible headaches with Vyvanse as well, though this side effect seemed to improve after about 6 weeks. I am definitely going to try something different because this is not worth it. | F | 39 | 3 months 40 | 1/18/2016 | 4 | BINGE EATING DISORDER | better concentration, suppress appetite for a little a few hours after taking it but it wears off. | It definitely helps my urges to binge, but it doesn't cure it, but i hope it will continue to do its work as i work to stop binge eating with therapy and trying to break the habit. It also makes me less anxious and my thoughts clearer but its not like magic I still have to work hard. | F | 19 | 2 months 50 1X day | 12/20/2015 | 1 | ADD | High sexual drive to the point of excessive compulsion and addictive behaviors. Living out fantasies when alcohol of any amount even cooked was taken in. | Get off it slowly and with help from a real doctor and not a psychiatrist. Go to theroadback.com and get on their supplements they helped with the side effects and it took me a year and a half to get the drugs out of my system even with this program. | M | 36 | 4 years 70 | 12/17/2015 | 1 | Adult add | I'm doing this review on behalf of my gf. She takes 40mg almost daily during the school year.All summer she stopped taking it, because she's a pt grad student and didn't need it. However as soon as school started and she began her medication she changed in many negative ways. First off she went from being a fun loving,laid back person to being on edge all the time. But at the same time emotionless. I thought it was stress from school. But when she doesn't take it on occasional weekends when she's not studying I get the woman I love back. So it's the drug. It has made her someone I don't much enjoy being around. When I brought up the fact that she'd been acting different, like an emotionless zombie, when she takes it. She claimed to not know the difference. Me and this girl are/were so madly in love. We would always get compliments like you two are so cute it hurts my heart, or the way you two look at eachother makes me feel happy. But now shes taking f* vyvanse every day and is just not the same. And its a shame because I love her so much. I understand that she's fully invested in grad school, but I wish I could get the old C***** back. | F*** this drug. It's evil. It changes people and makes them cold and heartless. | F | 23 | 4 years 40mg | 12/7/2015 | 1 | Adhd | My heart is pounding uncontrollably fast. It will stop if I lye still for about 10mins but if I even move an inch it starts right back up. It is pounding so badly, it's feels like my chest is thudding. It's so bad it thuds all the way to my throat. So uncomfortable!! You can literally see how it is pounding when you look at my chest! What can I do or take so it will stop. Or even slow down, someone please help!!! This is soo uncomfortable | F | 25 | 1 days 40 | 12/4/2015 | 1 | ADHD | Racing heart, extreme anxiety, overall uncomfortable feeling, loss of appetite | I had previously been diagnosed with anxiety. After starting Vyvanse, my anxiety skyrocketed. It was horrible. I noticed very little change in attention, and at the end of the day, it would wear off. As a college student, I need to be on top of my game all of the time, and that just wasn't happening with Vyvanse. I had symptoms from day one, so I gave it a week, but I just couldn't deal with the anxiety. I would not recommend Vyvanse or any stimulant ADD/ADHD medication if you have anxiety or if you need to be focused on a regular basis. | F | 19 | 1 weeks 25 mg | 11/25/2015 | 4 | ADHD, BIPOLAR | My mom says I have became more noncompassionate. I've also noticed i've grown to not be able to sleep. | Helps me out in school though | M | 17 | 9 months 60 mg | 11/22/2015 | 2 | adhd | This seemed to help my depression almost immediately, but it did nothing g to help my focus.it gave me a little but more energy, and loss of appetite, dry mouth and irritability so bad. After five months of dealing with extreme uti's and yeast infection, like I've never had in my life, I finally narrowed it down to the vyvanse. I stopped taking it for a week, and everything started clearing up. Then, I started to take it, and sure enough within 3 days,it was all back! I was peeing blood, and had terrible pain during sex. I felt horrible!! Monistat would clear it up for a day or two, then it would all come back again. It felt like my vaginal was also shrinking, and not in a good way! Count in the chest pains, and racing heart, high blood pressure. This is not worth it! | F | 36 | 6 months 50mg | 11/10/2015 | 5 | ADD | Fast speech. Racing thoughts. Loss of appetite. Extreme withdrawal side-effects. | Life changing medication. Helped many focus issues and greatly improved depression (although was not prescribed for that). Withdrawal at 75mg was severe and began within 5 hours after the time i normally take it. 50mg withdrawal is not as bad but still incapacitating. | M | 25 | 8 years 50 1X day | 11/2/2015 | 1 | Diagnosed with adult ADD | My skin swelled with edema all over my body to the point that I had skin weeping. All of the hair on my entire body sunk under my skin and as I tried to pull them out because they were burning, my skin twisted and misformed. 3 years later I still suffer and now have no eyebrows and a twisted face. | I would love contact from others with skin issues because my doctors are baffled on how to fix this. Think twice or maybe three times before you put this in your mouth. | F | 40 | 9 months 70mg | 9/28/2015 |
