Does Vyvanse Cause Drowsiness And Slurred Speech?

I have been having a lot of trouble with my daughter smoking marijuana, She is seeing a counsellor and is taking Vyvanse to help her focus. Yesterday she had large dilated pupils, was drowsy, and dissheveled with slurred and slow speech(no odor of marijuana). When I confronted her she stated that it was the result of the Vyvanse. Is her explanation feasible?

The symptoms can be related to the use of Vyvanse. These symptoms usually go away on its own. If the symptoms continue you should contact your doctor for an alternative medication.
