What Are The Side Effects Of Vyvanse?
I am a 20 year old male at 6 and 155lbs. Several days ago I took 100mg of Vyvanse recreationally and have now fallen into a deep depression, including a serious loss in appetite and suicidal thoughts. I feel as though part of my mind has literally changed, and I feel almost slightly intoxicated in some way (although this could just be a symptom of malnutrition, I still feel as if something more serious is going on). Could Vyvanse have affected my mental health in an irreversible way? Is it possible that it is still lingering in my system? If so, is there anything a doctor can do to reverse this change or will I never feel the same again?
