Hi,
Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine) can cause Urticaria (bright red hives everywhere on my arms, stomach and legs, as you described). You have to see whether it disappears on discontinuation of the drug. Otherwise, urticaria can be caused by many other allergens.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
