My doctor prescribed me Vyvanse for concentration difficulties that started as a result of taking Lamictal for 4 years. This was before my relapse last month after 3.5 yrs of being seizure free. So I was scared to take it because of my seizures, thinking seizures might return. College is really hard for me because I daydream when I'm in class and the professors move very fast between topics. Reading the textbook doesn't help because I will be reading something but thinking about something else so I have to read the whole section over (I hope some of you understand what I'm saying). Doc told me to take it only on days with classes. however I wanted to try one out today to see if I have any seizures. So this is my first day on it; I'm hoping nothing bad would happen.

I have a question for those of you who are on Vyvanse or know someone who is one it. I might get a job at a Grocery store in the next few weeks. I know Vyvanse is an amphetamine and the urine drug test will come back positive. So Do I take the prescription bottle to the testing site? or Do I wait until the results come back to explain to them? I don't want to lose this job opportunity because I'm broke from buying all my textbooks and I need money :( I literally have $19.73 in my bank account!

i think you should take the prescription bottle with you and maybe get a doctors note aswell
 
Yea I researched a little bit about it and people who take Ritalin and Adderall said they call you back after getting the results and tell the pharmacy to fax your profile :) Thanks for replying ! *hug*
