How do I take Vyvanse 70 mg?

Take Vyvanse once a day in the morning. It’s best to take it in the morning because it can interfere with sleep if taken later in the day. Vyvanse can be taken with or without food. Vyvanse is often started at a lower dose and increased based on your response. Always be sure to take Vyvanse exactly as your doctor tells you to take it.

Your doctor may sometimes stop your Vyvanse treatment for a period of time to check your symptoms of ADHD or binge eating disorder.

Vyvanse comes in capsules or chewable tablets. For children or others who prefer a softer or liquid formulation, the Vyvanse capsules can be opened and taken with yogurt, water or orange juice. Ask your pharmacist how to do this correctly.

Don’t take Vyvanse if you or your child are taking or have taken an anti-depression medicine called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) within the past 14 days. Also, don’t take Vyvanse if you are sensitive or allergic to Vyvanse or any of its ingredients, or had a reaction to other stimulant medicines.
