Does anyone have breathing problems from Vyvanse?

Remember magnesium increases it's effects and also corbonated water or mineral water and ginkgo. From what I've researched alkaline increases it's effects and acid especially vitamin c decreases the effects, remember to drink water

I also started Vyvanse that began giving me Shortness of Breath. This is odd because I took Vyvanse a year ago without this issue, but this time the issue started only days after restarting Vyvanse, I stopped for 2 days but the problem persisted just like the other person stated too. It feels like I want to take a deep breath while laying down makes it worse. My concern is that this May continue even if I stop the Vyvanse. I really don’t want to get on Xanax to create another problem. Any suggestions?

Yes I just started talking Vyvanse "when I was a teenager I took dexedrine aka Dextroamphetamine", well after a month of taking Vyvanse well 2 days ago I noticed I felt like I couldn't get enough air "Maybe I could get enough, but it didn't feel like it" it made me panic because of the whole pandemic scare. The post here in some way gave me relief, that being said Im sad that I'm getting this side effect from it, I really hate that feeling. It was in the morning when it happened and I didn't take anymore because I believed it might make the situation worsed. I wonder if it would if felt less suffocating if I had taken morning dose.

Yes! Previously I have taken dexamphedimime for my ADHD but my specialist wanted me to try Vyvanse as it’s a longer release form- only take 1 tablet in the morning. From the very first day within the First half an hour I’m suddenly gripped with this need to catch my breath- like I’m gasping for air! Horrible feeling! Like I can’t get enough air into my lungs. When I breath deeply I feel this wheezing when taking a deep breath and a dry raspy cough
Short of breath like I need to gasp for air and when I breath in deep it feels like I’ve breathed in pepper.

I Need to catch my breath ( like I’ve held my breath under the water for so long and I’m gasping for air) very odd ?

Yes. I too have just switched from Adderall, 80 mil. a day for 6 years to Vyvanse, 2 days ago. 60 mil each morn. to start. I have always had this problem when changing certain meds. Used to think they were the start of a panic attack but it seems to become unnoticable after a while. I'm also a heart patient and am having issues in that area at this time. Was uncomfortable switching while I'm having problems in the heart area, but docs insisted and to be sure, I again told them about the breathing, and, Hey! If they're not concerned I guess I wont be. Why borrow trouble. People like us have enough the way it is. So, if it makes me feel good and it's approved by Docs, Im ok. But if it does start to become a REAL problem and gets worse, not better, I'd certainly make the doc pay attention. Im wondering how people compare the two. Good Luck, Mustangsal

I have been on Vyvanse for a couple of months. I now take 60mg. I had just posted something last night about chest feeling heavier like I need to take a deeper breath. This has been my first ADHD med and seem to be having a lot of the bad side effects. The side effect you are having is listed and states to contact your doctor. I go this Friday so I'm holding off on calling to talk in person. Hope this helps! I also have trouble falling asleep, so that's when I take my daily meds that make me sleepy. It helps to fall asleep.
