What Are The Side Effects Of Vyvanse?

My son has been prescribed vyvance for adhd. However, he s already taking 5ml twice daily of Depokote and 1ml twice daily of Keppre for seizures. A friend of mine s daughter was taking vyvance and she is now blind. Any other cases of blindness or bad side effects I should know about.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, i don't think that blindness in your friends daughter is due to Vyvanse, blurring of vision is reported in overdose. At usual doses tics like movement can occur. Other symptoms occurs in overdose like
abdominal or stomach crampsblurred, blurred vision, muscle pain or stiffness, nervousness, restlessness, seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there, seizures, shakiness in the legs, arms, hands, or feet, sweating, trembling or shaking of the hands or feet, violent actions. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
