Never had this until triple therapy for Hepatitis C. I remain undetected for Hep C, however the drugs to treat the disease, caused my Hypothyroidism. I have always been ADHD, and began taking Vyvanse shortly before my Hepatitis C treatment and have remained on Vyvanse since. The carpal tunnel symptoms have became worse in the last few months.

Started taking Nuvigil at first did not help me stay awake. After starting Xyrem the Nuvigil was causing severe anxiety and dysphoria. After 6 weeks I told my doctor I could not take this medication any longer. I stopped the Nuvigil and a week later resumed my Vyvanse. I was taking Vyvanse 60mg daily since I was now on Xyrem my doctor and decided to start at 40mg since I was taking the Xyrem and getting the sleep I wasn't getting before. 40mg of Vyvanse is enough to get me through my day without and sleep attacks.

I gained weight on citalopram, and was prescribed ability on top of it, which made my normal weight of 135 go up to 160. I stopped taking ability, and was recently prescribed Vyvanse, which works amazingly for me as a writer. I was always ADD but didn't realize I was different. Since taking vyvanse, my weight has increased again.
