my new psychiatrist nurse practitioner has prescribed me vyvanse chewables( i have a hard time swallowing pills) im also already on effexor xr 225mg. im always worried about the side effects of meds. the psychiatrist said it could cause some increased anxiety and insomnia but it should go away. i ask the pharmacist who said i may also get some stomach pain.(im on another med too for esophagitis. has anyone taken both vyvanse for adhd and effexor for anxiety at the same time?

I'm on Vyvanse which I love but I'm not on Effexor. It absolutely caused me sleeping trouble though and I take it really early in the morning, like before 6 AM if possible because I can't sleep if I take it later. The insomnia did not go away for me even after taking Vyvanse for a long time. It made me lose weight which was good but then stupid anti-psychotic I was put on made me gain weight. Kit.
