[Update] I took two pills intead of one this morning - eviltoast

[Update]: Thanks everyone for answering and caring. I wasn’t expecting this reaction at all.

While I got over the panick attack quickly I really appreciated all the comfort and info you provided. <3

At the end of the day I only got a slightly worse headache and rebound effect but that was to be expected. It’s been barely three weeks since I’ve got started with medication and next Monday I have a follow-up meeting with my doctor.

I noted everything up with the rest of my experiences just in case it’s useful since I think it might be working better… xD

Anyway, thank you all again. (:

[END of Update]

I’m on Elvanse (lisdexanfetamin) 30mg I just took two pills instead of one by mistake.

I’m quite sure I wasn’t noticing anything with 30mg but now I fear an overdose or some shit.

Tho here if 30mg is not enough they jump you to 50mg which is not far from 60mg…

The thing is that I’m scared and don’t know what I should do.

    Doctors can prescribe up to 70mg doses of Elvanse, so you shouldn’t overdose. If necessary seek medical attention, but most likely you’ll just notice it come on much more since you still seem to be trying to find the right dose for you. If you weren’t noticing anything on 30mg then you might see some positive effects at 60mg, but you should work with your doctor to find the right dose for you, taking more than prescribed once is a mistake, doing it regularly might be seen as abuse of a controlled drug.
