Vyvanse overdose
I've been diagnosed with adhd for many years, I was on Ritalin and/or concerta for many years and I was just given a new medication, Vyvanse. A mistake was mad and I was given the wrong dosage. I took 70mg instead of 30mg. I'm generally ok aside from some side effects, and I went to the doctor that subscribed it to me and he told me I'll be fine. I don't really know why I'm sending this.. I guess for some reassurance and maybe also because it's 4:18am and I can't sleep.

The maximum dose of vyvanse is 70 mg /day. Since you have taken it by error. I would suggest you to wait and relax. Drink plenty of water. If you notice any untoward side effects like face swelling, rashes, chest pain, difficulty in breathing or swallowing,fast heartbeat immediately rush to a health center. Kindly pay attention to the dosage when you take medicine s in future. Take care.
Next Steps
Drink plenty of water, relax , watch for side effects.
