Suggest Treatment For Breathlessness And Bouts Of Cough While On Vyvanse

When I take my Vyvanse- Shortness of breath and constant feel of having to cough up phlegm but nothing comes which leads to more attempts at coughing it up! I can t find anywhere where a doctor specifically knows what causes this and when I go in to see a doctor they always just give me theories or possibilities! Every person I know that takes vyvanse experiences this symptom! How come nobody can give me an answer on what causes this symptom? Any help?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of having shortness of breath and bouts of coughing while taking Vyvanse orally.
This happens because of the following reasons:
Lisdexamfetamine is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as part of a total treatment plan, including psychological, social, and other treatments. It may help to increase the ability to pay attention, stay focused, and stop fidgeting. Lisdexamfetamine may also be used to treat binge eating disorder (BED). It may help to reduce the number of binge eating days.

This medication is a stimulant. It is thought to work by restoring the balance of certain natural chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.

This is the reasons it is causing problems in you.
If the symptoms are incapacitating, you may change over to another medicine under the guidance of a Psychiatrist.
