What causes lack of focus after discontinuing Vyvanse?
Patient: I was previously on vyvanse @40 mg and adderall at 30 mg twice a day. My doc retired and my new one said that is way to much medication. Took me off the vyvanse and kept the adderall at the same mg. The taking away of the vyvanse has been devastating. It didn t give me the holy that taking adderall does and then when I took the adderall in addition it was a natural boost it seemed from what I m using now. Plus the decrease has left me with more concentration issues, focus and task management. Was I being over medicated? Thank you Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  These are the psychostimulants. After discontinuation it causes poor concentration and lethargic. I would like to advice you to ask your doctor to restart these medication and reduce the doses slowly or else continue it won't cause much side effects as they are comparatively safe.  Hope you got my answer.   Thank you.   Take care.
