Should Vyvanse Be Avoided As It Might Cause An Erection?
my grandson was just prescribed vyvanese for adhd. He is 12 and one of the possible side effects can be an erection lasting up to 4 hours and be painful. How would i be able to tell my 12 year old this might happen but it probably wont. He def will not take it. And i was told to just start giving it to him tomorrow morn and send him to school. How embarassing would that be for him? I don t know if i can do it.

Hello. I just read through your question.
You are confusing Vyvanse with Viagra. Vyvanse will not cause an erection.
