dosed twice on vyvanse now what?

[sid3]

I ended up taking my 30mg daily dose twice yesterday at about 10am I couldn't even think about sleeping tonite, besides taking 4mgs of ativan and some hydroxyzine didn't even touch it The V's were only recenttly perscribed so I have no tolerance, in fact I got tweaked out the first few days on it Anyhow, I'm wondering how I'm going to make it through work today, working outdoors in the heat and humidity on no sleep is definitely going to suck Would I be better off taking my correct dose or skipping it today? I'm not sure how this med works the next day when you've been up on it all nite Y

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is converted into the active metabolite, dextroamphetamine.
Dextroamphetamine typically has a half-life of 12-13 hours.

Lisdexamfetamine was produced to make misuse more difficult since the drug must literally be activated in vivo. Either way, 30mg shouldn't be too high of a dose and I'm not allowed to give medical advice, but I bet you'd be okay just resume your regular dosing schedule in the morning. Just see how you feel in the morning and decide. It can be prescribed in up to 70mg daily.

Were you prescribed this medication for ADHD? As that is the only ailment this drug is approved for.

Yeah, my Pdoc is perscribing. After the first few days on it I noticed the positve effects and no negative side effects

It sucks you have to work in the heat. If it's anything there like it is here, the heat wave is relentless.
