Anxiety and depression on Vyvanse - eviltoast

I recently started taking Vyvanse, it’s been about a week. It really does make things easier to do. Previously I had taken it for about a week and everything was going well but then I started getting anxious and depressed. Quit it for a while, started it up again and the same thing is happening. Anybody else experienced something similar? Does it go away?

    I don’t have similar symptoms but medication effects can really vary between people. It’s best to talk to your medical provider to try other options or dosages.

    For me, vyvanse really only gives me reduced appetite and slightly increased heart rate, though at higher doses it keeps me up at night no matter when I took it. Lower dose fixed that while remaining effective.
