Is Vyvanse The Right Medicine For Anxiety And Depression?

Hello - I ve been noticing increased issues with ADHD symptoms as I am currently also struggling with anxiety and depression from that anxiety. Over the past few months, as I have been treating those conditions, I have noticed a flare up of concentration and focus issues, specifically at work and in classes (I work full time and am a full time graduate student). I have heard about the benefits of vyvanse for these issues and wanted to inquire.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Vyvanse is a prescription medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

I suggest you take the lowest possible dosage.

This will limit the side effects as the body get used to the medication.

It is a very preferred medication to treat ADHD symptoms.

It is a prescribed medication so I would suggest you consult a psychiatrist before using it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
