Taking Vyvanse is a great drug for treating Parkinson’s disease. However, there are certain side effects to consider when using the drug. These include increased blood pressure, swelling of the hands and feet, and problems with vision. Before starting treatment, it is important to know about these side effects and the risks involved.
Common side effects
Taking Vyvanse can increase your risk of side effects. These side effects can be caused by Vyvanse itself or by other substances in your body. When you are taking Vyvanse, you need to talk to your doctor about any symptoms that you are experiencing. Your doctor may be able to help you reduce the side effects.
Dizziness is a common side effect of Vyvanse. This is due to changes in the concentration of neurotransmitters in your body. It is also caused by changes in the amount of blood flowing through your body. If you experience dizziness, you may need to call your doctor.
Nausea is another common Vyvanse side effect. Typically, nausea tends to be more severe in the first few hours after you take the medication. You may also experience vomiting. The cause of nausea may be a reaction to the drug itself, or it may be a result of a medical condition. If you are experiencing nausea, your doctor may recommend over-the-counter medicines that will help you manage the symptoms.
Serotonin syndrome is a life-threatening side effect of taking Vyvanse. It causes rapid heart rate, tremors, and loss of coordination. Other symptoms include high body temperature, flushing, and changes in your blood pressure. If you experience these symptoms, you should stop taking Vyvanse immediately.
Other Vyvanse side effects can be less serious. In some cases, the side effects can be reduced by other medications or by changing the way you take the drug. Your doctor can also help you to manage the symptoms of nausea and other side effects.
The most important thing to remember about Vyvanse is to take it as directed. You should also make a note of any side effects you experience. If you do, you will know for sure whether or not Vyvanse is safe for you. If you are experiencing symptoms that are severe, you should contact your doctor right away. If you have questions about Vyvanse, you can also contact the FDA. The FDA tracks the side effects of all approved drugs.
