What Causes Tingling Sensation In Hands, Chest And Face After Taking Vyvanse?
Question: Hi I am on vyvanse 50mg.... I drank a lot last night (5 shots) and felt pretty bad this morning but took the vyvanse anyway.... I am 5'4 and about 100 lbs... Now I'm feeling really weird - I have tingling in my hands and chest and face and pressure in my chest.... Am I ok? I have never experienced these side effects before but have been fine on the vyvanse for several months with no side effects like this. I checked my heart rate and it's been at 100 and sometimes up to 118...thanks !!!
Brief Answer:
several possibilities.
Detailed Answer:
First, 100-118 is NOT indicative of the more serious arrhythmias.
cannot say in your particular case without an examination AND.....
mild panic attack with hyperventilation (breathing in the paper bag test)

mild dehydration....
and alcohol effect is lowered by hydration, rest, quiet.
And.. very unlikely for alcohol to still be in the system the next day but very mild hangover physiology involves (mild) increase in stress hormones.
very unlikely that vyvanse will interact directly with alcohol that is not there Nor for it to otherwise act differently out of the blue months after start of use.
And... mild increase in stress hormones and the mild stress hormone effects of vyvance interact together and also interact with dehydration and/or panic attacks.

Should i take a zanex to try and calm down? Thw tingling has been present for several hours now :(
Brief Answer:
rather an easy question...
Detailed Answer:
xanax is a sedative and added to narcotics can be quite dangerous.
If it is prescribed, supervised, and previously taken under supervision, it would seem safe taken in the context of being on less narcotics (withdrawal). Withdrawal does not make a sedative more dangerous, but taken with narcotics or other sedatives or alcohol IS dangerous.
On the other hand, if it is taken without being supervised, gotten through avenues Other than through one's doctor, or other illegal means, (borrowing from relatives is also illegal) then this would not be recommended.
