May be prescribed for ADHD in adults and some children. Due to the way these drugs work, they’re typically expected to cause similar side effects.For example, both Vyvanse and Adderall can cause: high blood pressurerapid heart rateappetite losssleep problems, such as insomnianausea and vomitingHowever, Adderall is available in both an extended-release (XR) and immediate-release (IR) form. Vyvanse is only available in extended-release forms. Certain side effects, including the risks of misuse and dependence, may be more common with Adderall IR.In addition, Vyvanse and Adderall XR stay in the body for much longer than Adderall IR. So certain side effects, such as headache or dizziness, may last longer with Vyvanse than they would with Adderall IR.For a detailed comparison of these two drugs, see this Vyvanse vs. Adderall article. You can also talk with your doctor about the best ADHD medication for you. Do higher doses of Vyvanse cause specific side effects?Yes, it’s possible for some side effects of Vyvanse to vary based on your dosage.For example, among children who took Vyvanse in clinical studies, weight loss was more common at higher doses. These doses included 70 milligrams (mg), 50 mg, and 30 mg. (The 60-mg dose wasn’t studied.)However, most side effects were reported at similar rates regardless of dosage. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you more about what to expect when taking Vyvanse. For more information, you can also refer to this Vyvanse dosage article.Will Vyvanse affect my personality? It’s possible. Vyvanse can cause mood or personality changes, including anger or irritability, depression, and worsening bipolar mania. In studies of children taking Vyvanse, anger was reported as a rare withdrawal side effect. Withdrawal refers to effects that occur after stopping a drug that your body has become dependent on. (Vyvanse has a boxed warning about the risk of dependence. For more information, see “Side effect specifics.”)It’s important to note that anger hasn’t been reported as a side effect in adults. However, irritability was a commonly reported side effect in adults. Sometimes irritability can lead to anger.For more information about your risk of anger or other mood changes during treatment
