can vyvanse and adderall make a person suffering from ADD have similar side effects as OCD do to the effects of the vyvanse and adderall..
since getting on Vyvanse and adderall. I have suddenly become a clean freak where as before I was diagnosed with ADD I did not have no interest in doing anything productive.. I was bored all the time and never could be content and it seemed the only way I could find satisfaction was too do crazy things getting myself injured from my bizarre behavior. I have been having compulsions to do things with more structure and a compulsion to make things as good as I possibly can but I repeat my cleaning over and over and I'm always looking for something to make it better and cleaner and then it still don't feel like it's good enough.. Could this be the vyvanse and adderall that are making me have more energy to keep things in a orderly fashion.. The biggest question that I need to ask, could I have OCD, Does anyone know if OCD and ADD run together and can anyone else give me any feedback that will help and is anyone else feel the way I do..I appreciate your feedback.. sincerely ; Aaron Lynn TT ...

Vyvanse and amphetamines are meant to help with focus and motivation. What you think is OCD is just the way you should function. I have been taking amphetamines for over 30 years, I'm 72 years old, to overcome motivation and focus problems as a result of my ADD.
Some people wear glasses to see we use these medications to get things done. Good Luck

Me too, but only with Adderall. I can get bad tunnel vision that leads to OCD type behaviors (ex. reorganizing stuff that’s already decently organized). This didn’t happen to me with Vyvanse though.

Did one medication work better or differently? aside from the OCD tendencies?

Both medications gave me energy and helped me focus, but Vyvanse lasted much longer for me than Adderall and didn’t cause any tunnel vision or OCD effects, but it did make me feel emotionally numb, and it dried out my skin & mouth terribly. I would have liked to still be able to take it here and there, but I couldn’t seem to fix the dryness issue, no matter how much water I drank or moisturizer I used. Oddly enough, when I went up to 60mg I even started getting constant styes, which has never happened to me before. Overall Vyvanse PROS: no tunnel vision / ocd, lasted longer than Adderall, didn’t crash in the evening like I do with Adderall. CONS: too many physical side effects, & feeling emotionally numb while on it.

You should definitely talk to your doctor about this but it could just be your body adjusting to the meds.
