Does Vyvanse Cause Delayed Periods?
I started on vyvanse 10 mg for one week, bumped it up to 20 mg for another week, and then have been on 30 for 2 weeks. My period is suppose to be this week but it is 6 days late. I’ve gotten all of the normal symptoms such as acne, cramping, etc. but no bleeding. Is this a side effect?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
I dont think that Vyvanse is related to this and delayed period could be due to hormonal imbalance because of changing of birth control pill.
I would suggest to wait for period. If period will delay by more than 14 days from expected period date, consult the gynecologist for detailed examination. for investigations of irregular menstruations. You may be asked for hormonal work up like FSH, LH, Oestrogen, Progesterone, Prolactin, etc. Before hormonal check up, you will be examined internally to find any organic disease like infection or cyst-Ultrasonography also will reveal a good amount of information regarding your internal organs (and even pregnancy also).
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you
