Can Vyvanse dosage be continued to cope with ADHD?
human
I have ADHD and am on Vyvanse to help with it. I start school tomorrow but was recently diagnosed with SVT. I don't have a doctors appointment for another week but I need my medicine to help with my concentration. I went to the ER Friday & was told to discontinue the Vyvanse, but I have to take it for school. Is it safe to take it until I get into the doctor?

Hello thanks for asking from HCMVyvanse is amphetamine drug and it is a brain stimulant drug. The drug cause brain activation and help in improving concentration in patients of ADD and a lot of other disorders. The drug is known to increase heart rate and in some susceptible individuals it may potentiate cardiac toxicity. You have been diagnosed with SVT or supra ventricular tachycardia. It is a type of cardiac arrhythmia and as per my opinion taking vyvanse in this condition may worsen the situation.In emergency room they have already advised to stop the medicine till you get yourself to doctor. So you should stop the medicine till you see your doctor.Thanks, hope this helps you.
