Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
Vyvanse is a lisdexamfetamine which is a stimulant. The issue you mentioned of mouth sores is called aphthous ulcers and is quite common adverse effect of the drug.
You may change the dose and reduce it to minimum. Average dose needed is 30 mg per day. Not to exceed 70 at any cost. Next you can shift the dose schedule and take at earliest time possible likely morning and not after noon at all.
Swallow capsule whole may open capsule and then dissolve entire contents in water (drink all of it immediately). Use plenty of water with it. Take with or without food but with food will spare the trouble.
Apart from vyvanse mouth ulcers themselves have many etiologies. Good oral hygiene, poor dental alignment, Gastric discomfort and reflux, tobacco use etc are some of them.
You can use low dose hydrocortisone gels and apply that over the sores. Anesthetic gels will relieve the pain and sensations. Take good care of the oral hygiene and Seek an oral hygienist at an earliest convenience.
I am sure it will help . Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
May the odds be ever in your favour .
