people have this peculiar idea that "more is better" when it comes to drugs. "if one pain reliever pill helps a little bit then 10 pills will help that much more. " this is definitely faulty logic -- and it's dangerous when applied to medications. you make the assumption that doubling your dose of vyvanse (generic name: lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) will help you focus "better" than a single pill. why do you assume this? it's not true. in fact doubling your dose of this medication could have serious adverse consequences. taking twice as much vyvanse as prescribed could cause you to experience: seizures irregular heart beat hyperventilation hallucinations i suggest you take only the dose of medication prescribed to you by a medical expert. that seems like the sensible thing to do to me. wishing you well! i've been switching stimulant medications frequently this last year in order to find something that i could pay for that also was effective. the only time i took two pills was when the doctor put me on 20 mg xr generic ritalin (i was on 40mg last summer before i got health insurance through my job). the first night i missed work because the med did nothing. i talked to my doctor the next day and he said take 2-20mg pills since i had been that dose previously. the doctor can increase your dose if your current dose isn't helping enough. also since stimulants are so tightly regulated (class 2 controlled substances essentially legal cocaine) if you use all of them in less than 30 days you can't get more.
what would happen if i took two of my adhd pills to focus better? i take 40 mg of vyvanse i'm inly supposed to take 1. the title says it all
