Sometime a take more than directed and I get swelling on my head, face and random parts of my body. I also break out really bad. Does this happen to anyone else? Is this just my body's reaction saying I've had too much, or could it be a drug interaction?
Adderall causing swelling?

Could I switch to Vyvanse? Or is it too similar to Adderall?

This is a question I have had and the answer is yes. Adderall and any drug that kicks up your adrenal glands causes a fight or flight reaction similar to stress or anxiety. With the increase in cortisol in your system your body creates inflammation. I have been on Vyvanse and Adderall for years and I am suffering horrible full body inflammation. I am currently weaning off both drugs to see if my inflammation gets better as it has nearly fully debilitated me.

Obviously the answer is stop taking more then you're supposed to. You are abusing it and your body is telling you that.

Hello jessielynne1987,
Pledge is right , have someone take you to the ER or simply Call 911.

TY for your concern. I stopped taking the medication a few days ago. My doctor has not been in her office so I'm just waiting to talk to her. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced these reactions.
