Does Vyvanse cause anger outbursts?
Increased blood pressure, sudden death in patients with heart problems, strokes, and heart attacks have been associated with Vyvanse. Patients may experience new or worsening of psychiatric symptoms (for example, manic episodes, hearing voices, hallucinations) or worsening of aggressive behavior or hostility.
Why does Vyvanse make me so angry?
Too much dopamine and norepinephrine, a chemical similar to adrenaline, overexcites the brain and causes high energy, inattention, nervousness, agitation, excitability, or euphoria. If a person with normal levels of dopamine and norepinephrine is experiencing anxiety, Vyvanse will probably worsen the anxiety.
The anger is probably related to increased irritability (one of the most common Vyvanse side effects). If Vyvanse makes you angrier than usual, and this anger is interfering with your ability to maintain healthy relationships, you’ll definitely want to discuss this side effect with your doctor.
Are Vyvanse side effects different for everyone?
In other words, the specific side effects, their respective severities, and total number of side effects that you experience will be unique to you. That said, certain Vyvanse side effects are considered more common than others.
What are the effects of a Vyvanse crash?
A Vyvanse crash can cause a person to feel irritable and fatigued. The active ingredient in Vyvanse is an amphetamine called lisdexamfetamine dimesylate that stimulates the central nervous system. Vyvanse affects the dopamine and norepinephrine systems in the brain in the same way as Adderall, which is another ADHD medication.
Why am I experiencing insomnia while taking Vyvanse?
If you’re experiencing insomnia while taking Vyvanse, it’s possible that your dosage is too high and/or you’re using it too late in the day. Sometimes a simple dosage reduction can help reduce insomnia, and in other cases, taking Vyvanse earlier in the morning is a more effective strategy to decrease Vyvanse-induced insomnia.
