Can Starting Vyvanse After Taking A Break Cause Anxiety And Stress?
I have been taking Vyvanse for two months now. I took a week off of it while I was not in school. Since I have started back I have had an emotional crash at about 2:30. I have had a stressful event in my life for a few months now and have handled it well enough that it is not as large of a stress, but now it sends me to tears just thinking of it. Could this be linked to the Vyvanse?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Vyvanse contains lisdexamfetamine and it is a stimulant. If someone stops it abruptly, he/she could has withdrawal in form of emotional disturbance or letharginess. Same problem you are facing. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper management. You need low dose benzodiazepine or other stimulant to control such effect. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
