what is vyvanse and how does it work

It is a relatively recent therapy, having been licenced in 2008 to treat ADHD. Vyvanse functions as a stimulant by enhancing the brain’s inter-regional communication. Vyvanse is an amphetamine-based stimulant, just as Adderall.

Vyvanse dosage and timing

Vyvanse comes in two forms. It was introduced as a capsule in 2008. In 2017, it also became available as a chewable tablet. The tablet and the capsule each come in dosages of 10mg, 20mg, 30mg, 40mg, 50mg, and 60mg. The capsules also come in a 70mg dosage.

Both forms only come in a delayed-release preparation. Delayed release means that the body converts the drug into its active form as it enters the bloodstream. It begins to work in about an hour. But it may take two to three hours to reach its peak effectiveness.

Vyvanse is also an extended-release drug. This means it is slowly released into the body throughout the day. In studies, Vyvanse appears to help kids with ADHD symptoms for about 10 to 12 hours, and a bit longer in young adults.

Vyvanse may cause serious side effects, including:

• Heart-related problems including: sudden death, stroke, and heart attack in adults; sudden death in children who have heart problems or heart defects; increased blood pressure and heart rate. Your HCP should check you or your child carefully for heart problems before starting treatment with Vyvanse. Tell your HCP if you or your child have any heart problems, heart defects, high blood pressure, or a family history of these problems. Your HCP should check your or your child’s blood pressure and heart rate regularly during treatment with Vyvanse. Call your HCP or go to the ER right away if you or your child have any signs of heart problems such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting during treatment with Vyvanse.
• Mental (psychiatric) problems, including: new or worse behavior and thought problems; new or worse bipolar illness; new psychotic symptoms (such as hearing voices, or seeing or believing things that are not real) or new manic symptoms. Tell your HCP about any mental problems you or your child have or about a family history of suicide, bipolar illness, or depression. Call your HCP right away if you or your child have any new or worsening mental symptoms or problems during treatment with Vyvanse, especially hearing voices, seeing or believing things that are not real, or new manic symptoms.
• Slowing of growth (height and weight) in children. Children should have their height and weight checked often during treatment with Vyvanse. Vyvanse treatment may be stopped if your child is not growing or gaining weight.
• Circulation problems in fingers and toes (Peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud’s phenomenon).Inform your healthcare provider if any of the following occur to you or your child: numbness, coldness, pain, colour changes (pale, blue, red), or temperature sensitivity. If, while taking Vyvanse, you or your kid notices any inexplicable cuts on your fingers or toes, contact your HCP immediately.
• Serotonin Syndrome. A potentially life-threatening problem called serotonin syndrome may happen when Vyvanse is taken with certain other medicines. Stop taking Vyvanse and call your HCP or go to the nearest hospital ER right away if you or your child develop any of the following signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome: agitation, flushing, coma, loss of coordination, dizziness, seeing or hearing things that are not real (hallucination), high body temperature (hyperthermia), fast heartbeat, seizures, sweating, confusion, tremors, stiff muscles, or muscle twitching, changes in blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.

Before taking Vyvanse, tell your HCP about all medical conditions, including if you or your child:

• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Vyvanse may harm the unborn baby.
• are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Vyvanse passes into breast milk. You or your child should not breastfeed during treatment with Vyvanse. Talk to your doctor

HOW SHOULD I USE THIS MEDICATION?

The usual starting dose of lisdexamfetamine to treat ADHD is 30 mg once a day in the morning. Afternoon doses should be avoided as this medication may cause difficulty sleeping.

Although doses larger than 30 mg have not been shown to be more effective, and often cause more side effects, you or your child’s doctor may choose to increase the dose gradually, if the lower dose is not fully effective. The maximum daily dose is 60 mg per day.

The usual starting dose of lisdexamfetamine to treat BED is 30 mg once a day in the morning. The dose is then gradually increased to between 50 mg and 70 mg taken once daily.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your child’s doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that your child is taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Lisdexamfetamine may be taken with or without food. The capsules may be taken whole, or the contents of the capsule can be dissolved in yogurt or a glass of water or orange juice. Any compacted powder from inside the capsule can be broken apart with a spoon. The mixture should be taken immediately. Lisdexamfetamine chewable tablets should be chewed thoroughly before swallowing. The entire tablet should be taken.

It is important for your child to take this medication exactly as prescribed by their doctor. If your child misses a dose in the morning, skip the missed dose and wait until the next day to continue with their regular dosing schedule. Do not give your child a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after your child misses a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
