Could Intake Of Vyvanse For ADHD Increase Liver Enzyme Levels?
My doctor informed me roughly 6 months ago that my liver enzyme levels were elevated. We've discussed alcohol consumption, but my drinking pattern hasn't changed much in the last few years so I don't know why my enzyme levels would suddenly spike. I take Vyvanse for ADHD (60mg/daily) and I know it is processed through the liver. Could this be part of the problem?

Hello,
Liver enzyme level elevated in your case may be due to some other cause other then Vyvanse.
Because hepatitis is a very less common and also elevated liver enzymes.
Thus recheck liver enzymes level.
check for hepatitis viral infection. Do ultrasound abdomen to find any increase in size of liver.
then review with a physician.
Hope this helps.
Please reply for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
