Can I Lift Weight While Taking Vyvanse? Is It Necessary To Take This Medication Daily?

I was just prescribed vyvanse and took my first one today. 30mg is the rx daily. Is it necessary to take every day? And should a person lift weights / do cardio while on the medication? Also is there a"waiting"period for the body to adjust? I have no health issues.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Vyvanse is a stimulant and you can take it daily. There is no harm with it at this dose. You can do exercise with it. It would not effect on your daily activity. Try to avoid higher dose which could lead cardiac problems or psychosis. On this drug, there is no waiting period. It would show effect within a day.

Thanks
