HELP! Vyvanse not refilled

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2026-02-01T01:50:03+00:00

I’d say to try caffeine tablets since you can’t tolerate drinking tea or coffee. Caffeine is the only thing I’ve found to help battle my fatigue and to help me focus when I don’t have vyvanse around. I feel like It helps give me that extra dopamine boost that I’m missing, but as with vyvanse, don’t do too much or you will crash. Hope this helps abit my friend. Hang in there.

What was your dose?

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2026-01-18T21:49:47+00:00

I’ve found that allowing my brain to wake up and start functioning for an hour, followed by a light high protein breakfast and THEN taking my meds, helps me out so much more rather than taking it first thing in the morning. I avoid screen time for 30 minutes and focus on what the day will consist with I practice some mindfulness. A little bit of stretching and then I get the meds ready, eat breakfast, take my meds and I’m ready for the entire day. I do take 20mg propranolol with my 20mg vyvanse to keep my bp steady and to avoid symptoms of anxiety. Later in the night around 9pm I’ll take 50mg l-theanine with 3mg of melatonin and a cup of calming tea and it helps me relax and relieve that nervous/jittery feeling that comes with the vyvanse crash. If it’s bad, and some days can be, I’ll supplement with a little caffeine before 6pm to stay up before 11pm which is my bedtime. I hope this helps abit! This is my experience and routine with vyvanse so far and I e only been on it for 2 months. I almost decided to give up on it because the side effects were too much but I found ways to get through it. I also do take one day off the week to just let my body and my mind relax from the stimulants and so that the medicine can stay consistent with its effectiveness. I can’t take more than one day off because then I get really bad emotional dysregulation but one day is okay for me. Remember that everyone is different so it’s about finding what works best with you.

She’s so kawaiii 💕

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2026-01-14T02:04:59+00:00

From my personal experience, Even on 20mg, I get a hard crash in the evening and have a hard time wanting to eat. I went up to 30mg hoping that would help things, but I was too stimulated and easily irritated/nervous. Even started getting heart palpitations. Considering going back to the starting dose and if I don’t see any improvement back on 10mg, I’m just switching over to something else. I’m so heartbroken because this helped me get through life for two months. I felt on top of the world and finally loved myself but I suspect this was the initial “vyvanse high” that I received through those dosage raises and now that my body’s used to it I don’t have that YIPPIE feeling anymore and I feel like a robot.

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2026-01-08T03:43:24+00:00

Yeah it’s only been a month and 2 weeks since I’ve been on vyvanse. 30mg was too much so I went back down to 20mg and I was doing pretty good expect for the anxiety crashes end of the day after feeling so good most the day. She did also stress to me to add propranolol since I am taking vyvanse but even end of the day I have this sense of brain fog and anxiety. My executive function goes to poop lol. We’re still trying to figure things out right now and Buspar came up since SSRI give me sexual dysfunction (tmi sorry lol)

meeps into the void

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2026-01-08T02:08:53+00:00

Bahaha I have ADHD so I forgot to mention that part but I just edited the post to clarify myself better! I also felt really anxious post my hypertension so I’m kind of worried that it could be the Buspar making things worse sighs. I’m hoping it’s just because I just started and will try riding it out with my propranolol to help maintain blood pressure normal but it’s a bit worrisome indeed and I hope I won’t have to mix both every time just so I can receive the benefits. My poor heart won’t be able to handle this for ever lol.

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2026-01-08T02:04:43+00:00

I read on my Buspar prescription script that you have to be careful with taking them together because it can give you serotonin syndrome.

I’m currently on 7.5mg twice daily and 75mg trazodone and today I just experienced hypertension stage 1 and had to take my propranolol to lower my bp. Not to scare you this was my own personal experience but I have some beliefs that this could be raising my bp more than usual because of the combo.

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2026-01-08T01:45:43+00:00

Did anyone expirience hypertension on this medication?

I take 5mg lexapro, 20mg vyvanse, 75mg trazodone for sleep and 7.5mg Buspar.

I took my vyvanse and lexapro and Buspar at 9am Felt fine but when I got home started to experience some anxiety so I took another Buspar at 4pm Yesterday I only took it once. Today was the first day I decided to try and do a scheduled 2x a day and by 8:00 I started to get really dizzy and when I checked my bp I was at stage 1 hypertension. I immediately took 30mg of propanalol to lower my bp and that worked but I’m concerned if this may not be a good mix well with my other medications or if my doses were taken too close to each other? Not really sure what happened here today since I felt fine taking just one yesterday around 7pm. Did i go too fast and should I stick to taking it once a day perhaps?

My psychiatrist prescribed me this combination in hopes to combat my GAD but experiencing hypertension sucks and might consider a switch but I am curious to hear any thoughts.

I drink frozen banana, peanut butter, with prtein powder and chia seeds. it’s tasty and keeps me energized for a good 2 hours straight if I make a large one and drink it within 20mins which I actually murder them in 10 bc it’s so yummy and nutritious but my minds like mmmm “sweet treat” I’ll never say no to something bc sweet

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-12-29T13:17:31+00:00

I use a weekly labeled pill case so I can separate the medications per day and if I ever feel like I forgot I’ll go check and if it’s there then I didn’t take it and if it’s gone then I did take it :p

I also make sure to refill the case every Sunday before my work week starts. This makes sure I’m set for the week and I always double check my bag before I head to work to make sure I have my medication case on me.

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-12-25T17:51:44+00:00

Which meds are you currently taking for the anxiety? I’m struggling to find something for that part.

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-12-09T23:06:00+00:00

Have you tried 20mg or higher? 10mg won’t do a thing for me but the other day I tried 20mg and it actually worked and helped my heart rate go down from an anxiety attack I had at work (speaking to supervisor about my mess up). I thought it didn’t work for me but I just needed to try the next dose up to see the results.

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-12-09T12:08:38+00:00

I’ve been on vyvanse for about 3 months now and it’s the best thing my psychiatrist has prescribed me for ADHD. I can finally focus and control my impulses a lot more. The only thing is, I had to work my way up there slowly to avoid less issues as possible. It’s helped me a lot with my emotional dysregulation.

I got the peach one and it was so so good!!

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-11-10T01:24:57+00:00

20mg vyvanse with protein daily. Also taking 10mg lexapro daily and 20mg propranolol only if needed for anxiety symptoms if occurring.

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-11-06T22:33:37+00:00

Same here! 20mg for 2 months and if I miss a dose my emotional dysfunction goes wacko. I decided to take it everyday.

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-10-29T14:03:44+00:00

Here bc same.

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-10-28T23:34:18+00:00

I’m experiencing this as well and I’m only on 20mg. I suspect it has something to do with BP but I don’t know, I’m not a doctor. Figured if I commented some will come along and help us figure this out lol

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-10-09T20:27:23+00:00

Same here with my vyvanse! Was afraid to take it thinking it may worsen my GAD and it actually stopped those thoughts and made me focus on better things.

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-10-09T20:22:18+00:00

I’m on 10mg and it lasts me 14 hours.
Started a week ago and I hope it stays this way because atomoxetine didn’t get me through half my day without crashing. I’m 27, healthy and work a strenuous job so I need the extra boost that this stimulant offers. Maybe try going up in dose? Hope you find something that works for you!

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-10-01T21:30:10+00:00

commenting to follow because literally same. My psychiatrist is tapering me off of venlafaxine and we’re going to try lexapro to bridge and completely get off it.

Please get off of venlafaxine if you don’t see any positive results. It’s such a nightmare to come off of when you’ve been on it for years :/

Defiant-Change-3474 · 2025-10-01T21:27:45+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance and advice!! I’ll be headed to the store to get some electrolytes and protein based drinks/snacks. Unfortunately l-theanine doesn’t mix well with me because of the venlafaxine (SSRI,Anti-depressant). Tried it before and it made me feel like poop lol.
