04 Aug 2014 How has Vyvanse affected me? I'll tell you. My son developed myasthenia gravis within three months of taking this medication. It is poison in my mind and should be taken off the market and doctors should only prescribe ADHD medications in severe cases of ADHD. I'm sick with guilt for filling the prescription and giving it to my son. Don't make the same mistake I did.

18 Jun 2014 Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disease that isn't caused by any pathogens that we know of. Amphetamines are a pathogen that we know of. There is a slight genetic predisposition for it, but mostly it's a byproduct of dysfunction of the thymus, which can happen for a number of reasons (none of which are taking ADHD meds). There is plenty wrong with the pharmaceuticals industry and the products they peddle. There is no sense in making demons out of shadows when there are real dangers to contend with. Your son is just unlucky, and while that makes it temporarily more difficult -- as you have no one and nothing to blame for his condition -- it will allow you to spend more energy loving and caring for your son instead of investing that energy in hating a scapegoat.

18 Jun 2014 Edit: I used the term "pathogen" incorrectly above. Pathogens are biological causes of disease. The point still stands. There is no known association between amphetamines and Myesthenia Gravis. There is a known association between autoimmune diseases and Myesthenia Gravis.

18 Jun 2014 My son was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis 3 months after starting Vyvanse. I believe it triggered the myasthenia gravis and would not recommend anybody taking this "medication."

03 Apr 2014 I was prescribed Vyvanse when I was a sophomore in high school and am currently still taking it 4 years later as a sophomore in college. As I increased my dosage, I got more productive, but the side effects increased. I got more irritable, and had absolutely no appetite. Nothing sounded good to eat and I would get annoyed easier than usually. the only thing I found to easy these symptoms was smoking marijuana. It would calm me down and relax me when I had the feeling that I needed to do something, even if there was nothing to do. One other thing I noticed is that I seem to have immunity to drugs like cocaine and mollie. I've tried both of these drugs at least 8 times each, but only feel like I took a vyvanse when I was "on" them. In short, the drugs didn't affect me and it's because of my tolerance to stimulant drugs, due to vyvanse.
