Introduction to Vyvanse Dosage

Vyvanse is a medication that is used to treat ADHD. It is a central nervous system stimulant. The medication works by increasing the amount of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate movement, attention, and emotions.

The recommended starting dose of Vyvanse for people with ADHD is 30 mg once daily in the morning. The dose may be increased by 10 mg or 20 mg increments at weekly intervals until the optimal response is achieved. The maximum recommended dose is 70 mg per day.

People who are taking Vyvanse may experience side effects such as insomnia, reduced appetite, dry mouth, and headaches. These side effects are usually mild and resolve over time.
