Hi,
When discontinuing a medication like Vyvanse (
lisdexamfetamine), it's possible to experience
withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms can vary from person to person, and the severity and duration of withdrawal can also differ.
Some common withdrawal symptoms reported after stopping stimulant medications like Vyvanse include mood swings, fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and changes in appetite. Headaches and changes in blood pressure may also occur, although it's important to note that everyone's response to withdrawal can be different.
Since you've recently started taking Vyvanse again at a lower dose and are experiencing specific symptoms, it's a good idea to reach out physically and mentally a doctor . They will be in the best position to check your BP.
In the meantime, if you're concerned about your blood pressure, it would be a good idea to check it, especially if you have a history of
high blood pressure or if you're experiencing other symptoms such as
dizziness,
shortness of breath, or
chest pain. Taking an aspirin without
medical advice is not recommended, as it's important to understand the underlying cause of your symptoms before taking any medication.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
