I have Mitral Valve Prolapse and also have ADD. I have just been prescribed Vyvanse. In the afternoon I have experienced difficulty getting a deep breath and also tiredness in my left arm. I have also had pain in my lower abdomen. I take Toprol for the MVP. I have been taking Vyvanse for 2 weeks. Could the Vyvanse be causing these side-effects?
Vyvanse has less effect on the cardiovascular system than Adderall but all stimulants have possible cardiovascular side-effects. You should stop taking it and see if the symptoms go away. If not you need to see your cardiologist or internist. If the side-effects do go away you may want to discuss options with your doctor.
Generic Tenex helps with distractibility www.askdrjones.com/2006/11/07/tenex/ and can be taken with Toprol if it doesn't lower the blood pressure too much. You may tolerate a lower dose of Vyvanse, possibly with Tenex or you may do better on one of the forms of methylphenidate, or possibly Provigil.
