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?

Took Vyvanse long ago. I had to stop because I would get debilitating tension in my shoulders. It’s been a couple of years and the muscle tension still isn’t completely gone even with PT and massages. Taking bupropion 150 right now and it’s alright. Just have never found a “perfect” solution

That's a wild side effect. How long were you on it?
