Mild anxiety a few hours after taking Vyvanse?

Side effects

Anyone else experience this?

About 5–6 hours after taking Vyvanse (30 mg), especially when I'm between tasks, I start feeling a bit overstimulated or mildly anxious.

I make sure to eat and drink plenty of water.

It kind of reminds me of the anxious feeling I used to get from a stimulant drug that I'd rather not name 🫣, especially when it started wearing off - that "oh s**t... what now?" feeling.

It's not exactly anxiety in the usual sense - more like my nervous system is suddenly "too on."

I'm wondering if it's because I can't seem to resist having that second cup of coffee, but I'm not sure.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any tips? Maybe I just need to stop having that second coffee 😬
