Hello xocrazyx5
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Vyvanse is a psycho stimulant medicine of Amphetamine group, it is a nice medicine but there are few side effects one is high abuse potential, and other is severe headache in some susceptible individuals. The headache you are having is most likely due to the medicine itself, but don't worry its not a serious complication, visit your doctor and take opinion regarding dose adjustments.

Thanks
