Taking Vyvance, a grand mall seizure ensued lasting 1 hour and near comma. Hospital was taking action to prepare for the comma. After 3 hours, child became responsive again. Have there been other cases like this? Reply lcivitel on May, 24, 2013: My daughter took Vyvance 20mg from Nov. 2011 to June 2011. Then in Aug 2011 took 30 mg of Vyvance until February 2013 when she had a grand maul seizure. She had another in April. Her EEG shows sharp activity on right side. No history of seizures in our family. Could it be the Vyvance. She had trouble getting to sleep and in December 2012 said she felt the Vyvance was beating the heck out of her. We notice a decline in her eating. She started bouncing on and off. The doctor said it was okay to do that. We wonder if it is the vyvance that messed her up. Anyone else experience this horror with their child? Reply From this study (4 days ago): Need to know if Diarrehia is a side effect? Reply From this study (4 days ago): 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. Reply From this study (6 days ago): DRUG NAME IS SAROTEX, 10mg (amitriptyline)
Lose weight and other bi-effects only occur as long as i increase doze. Started with 10 mg every night for one week, then 20 mg every night for one week, and so forth. If i don't increase doze, effects will go away after one week. I lost 13 kilograms very fast (3-4 months) by going up on dozage, then be off medication for a while, then increasing it again. Very exhausting (nightmares, depression, bi-effects worsen), but i am now a thin woman. That is a good thing when in joint / muscular pains. My pains is highly decreased also, maybe because of both medication and weight loss.
Only thing "special" about me (besides the EDS diagnose) is I have low levels of Kalium.
When starting on the prevention NuvaRing I got very excited about food, all the time, and that is a medication said to increase the Sarotex effect, so I am not immune against the "food-happy" mode, but Sarotex seems to make me not think about food, and actually make me feel sick when i eat more than a few bites of anything. As long as I increase the doze.
I am in a state where i allow myself to experiment within the safe area for the medication, because it makes me curious, and hopeful that this can "help" me stay thin and feel ok about it. I am now 60 kilograms and 172 cm tall, pretty satisfied, but still, curious. Feel free to ask me questions if you need any info about this, or can help me answer what it might be that causes this rare effect... Reply
