Can High Dose Of Vyvanse Be Taken?

I m taking Vyvance, I started today, I took a 20 mg, nothing really, so I took a 30 mg 2-3 hours later, basically i m up to 130 mg, and still dont feel much, I m 5 11 and weigh 257 pounds, does that have something to do with the low affects. FYI: I took two 50 mg of Vyvanse about six months ago. I took one at work and felt great, no side effects, the second one I took early in the morning around 9 am, and then at about 1:00 pm I felt like I could fly to the moon, and I felt a little weird, but nothing serious Basically my question is am I going to be alright on 130 mg of Vyvanse, i feel fine, and I don t plan on taking anymore, Today!

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi

I had gone through your query.

Vyvanse is psycho stimulant. It contains dextroamphetamine.

Higher dose can be fatal and very dangerous for life.

It has high addictive potential and there are reviews that suggest it is associated with psychiatric illness or it may worsen it.

So better to avoid it.

Psychological evaluation is must and if require it would be better to decrease dose gradually for better future.

Motivational and supportive psychotherapy can help.

Consult psychiatrist and get help.

Happy to help you further.

Thank you
