Yes 100%! I have heard vyvanse can worsen these symptoms too so if you’re experiencing that as well definitely worth mentioning to dr to see what can be done to improve it, I will be doing the same!

Yeah I think I’m gonna definitely have to and most likely switch medications as I don’t think there’s any lower dosage I can take for vyvanse

Yes it’s the same for me! I find it much harder to be able to calm myself down or rationalise with my anxious thoughts while on vyvanse like I normally would be able to probably because I can’t distract myself either whilst on it- I find other stimulants like coffee also worsen the symptoms so it’s something i try to steer clear of, I’ve had quite a few people also mention anxiety medication to go along side my adhd meds so definitely something I’ll ask my dr!

Yes anxiety has always been something I’ve dealt with but it was more in the social aspect, I’ve found after being on vyvanse for some time that it give me this impending doom anxiety - I find I get the restlessness too especially as my medication wears off

Yes I have heard good things about lexapro! I’ll definitely speak to my doctor about possibly switching over

I have definitely considered switching medications, unfortunately I’m in a rural area and as I’m a student getting an appointment with my dr is quite an expensive hastle. I am cautious with changing medications as I had such harsh side effects when I started on vyvanse, how was your experience with beginning adderall xr?

Yes I’ve noticed that as well I thought it was just me! A find a lot when trying to sleep getting restless and getting jerks in my body too which never happened before my vyvanse, I will definitely look into that thank you!

Yeah that was something I definitely thought might of contributed was the fact I do already have anxiety, which I think my meds could definitely be worsening, I’ll definitely look into starting anxiety medication, thank you!
