Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing better and have found medication that is helping you manage your symptoms. I have been asked about the dosage for Vyvanse. Just as with the other medications, you start on a lower dosage and go up to see what suits your body and symptoms. I myself can take 10, 20 (on average I take 20) and up to 30mg a day to manage my own symptoms. Those of you who gain more edema than my 8 pounds in a week may find this dosage not working for you. It is best to see a physician at least initially if you are able to have some one to work with. I now get my meds from my primary care physician as I am stable and know how much I need and what to take. I cannot prescribe or tell you how much medication is needed. Some patients are on very high doses and some on very low ones. You will learn what your body needs. I want to thank Stifler1002 for her continued input onto this site. This past year and a half I have been doing well but my husband was quite ill. He is finally doing better and if I did not advocate for him he wouldn't be here and came close to dying this year. All is well and we are taking our first vacation this month since before Covid . Email me with any concerns as I am not on this site and am personally sick of medical issues. I needed a break for sure. Again, know I hope you have found your medication and what helps you.
