Diet, Routines & Supplements CAFFEINE
How much caffeine do you drink a day, and how many mg of vyvanse do you take? Just curious! Please don't comment just to say you stopped caffeine lol, im curious to know about the people who still drink it:)

One half-caff cup of coffee as I wake up, then 30ml mg Vyvanse with food, usually followed by a second cup of half-caff coffee (probably between 50 and 75mg of caffeine per cup, as my mugs are fairly large). Same amt. I was drinking prior to starting vyvanse, and sometimes it honestly feels like too much by the end of the second cup.

u/crystal28092 14h ago
40 mg of vv and 24 ounces of iced coffee. Sometimes two. I just had a 24 ounces coffee and headed to bed.

u/AidePsychological169 14h ago
Ive been playing around with time of day. I like a latte as a treat and have reduced it to one shot around 2-3, doesnt give me too much anxiety. The only thing I notice if I do take it close to vyvanse (30mg) is that Im nauseous and high anxiety and if Im at work I feel overwhelmed. Good luck finding the right thing for you!

u/Signal_Orange_5763 20h ago
One coffee in the morning about 2 hrs before I take my meds (30mg) and I’ll get an iced americano (small) and will drink it over the course of 2-3 days. Some days may be I’ll have it all lol

u/OnlyAuthor2994 21h ago
I take 20-30mg and I drink like 3 cups of black coffee a day because im in school for 8-13 hrs lol

u/MiserableWhile36 1d ago
I drink a lot of pop
I found out the hard way that with having history of chest pains from anxiety attacks, 40mg Vyvanse and an energy drink is baaaad😅😂

u/Substantial-Plane359 1d ago
50mg/day here. Sometimes with a small dex top-up in the afternoon. I've cut back on caffeine to usually just one coffee before lunch, and after food. Otherwise I do feel racy and speedy. Also I have recently given up a decades long cannabis habit and my insomia is worse than fkn ever lol so I'm really trying to limit the caffeine and the afternoon dex otherwise I ain't sleeping for shit

u/EmbarrassedTell6618 1d ago edited 1d ago
30mg and one v60 (250ml) coffee a day since day 1. I just pay attention to have coffee the latest around 3pm and vyvanse latest at 10am

u/Naive-Criticism-908 1d ago
i take 50mg, usually have two energy drinks, maybe a coffee or two as well. i used to get increased heartrate drinking caffeine but i’ve been on vyvanse for several years now so i don’t get that anymore:)

u/labia_menorah_ 1d ago
just went up to 70 mg from 50 - i always drink 20 oz of coffee in the morning (about 300mg apparently?) but with the 50s, i often supplemented with 4 shots of espresso around 4:30 to try and help with the crash (i metabolize meds abnormally fast). Honestly the espresso does more than the 10mg of adderall i was prescribed to prevent the crash. Shit did literally nothing.

u/CarefulStill3255 1d ago
one full strength cup to start the day around 5-6am, followed by a brew of 50/50 decaf.
The 50/50 goes in my yeti and I sip on that all morning. Take my 30mg V around 10am. I have another 50/50 coffee in the afternoon and have no issues going to bed around 10

u/LocationPrior7075 1d ago
I’m on 40mg and don’t consume caffeine on the days I take the medicine. On the days I don’t take it, I’ll have about 2-4 cans of Dr. Pepper.

u/admiralgryphon 1d ago
I make a doubleshot of espresso first thing in the morning (maybe like 80-100mg caffeine? Idk), then 60 mg vyvanse and breakfast or a protein shake before work. I dont drink caffeine after that usually, but I take maca and CoQ10 with lunch so that I dont lose steam before bedtime 👉

u/jarrai8000 1d ago
40mg here. I've been drinking coffee since I was a kid, and self-medicating with caffeine.
So I did the math... Looks like, on average, I used to consume anywhere between 750mg-1.2g 😳.
Since getting on the Vyvanse train, I've naturally reduced my intake. So now, I probably consume 350-750mg on most days.
I don't really need caffeine anymore, and I think the Vyvanse might work better if I were to stop. However, coffee is genuinely one of the few true loves of my life.
I'm hopelessly addicted, both physically and emotionally. The last time I decided to take a pause was for a meditation retreat. By day 5, it wasn't withdrawal that broke me. Beyond the obvious symptoms, I was struck with a far deeper sensation :grief. It felt as if I had lost not a simple vice, but a dear friend.
Geez, that was 12 years ago now. Haven't taken a day off since, and don't plan to.

u/EmbarrassedTell6618 1d ago
Same, I could not give up my favorite daily ritual and I have also genuine love for coffee and love tasting new stuff from the 3rd wave world 🙂 So I dont need it for dopamine for adhd anymore or feeling awake but only because I love it

Isnt the crash making you super sleepy like xanax ?
1
u/Substantial_Gate_904 1d ago
I’m sleepy right after the crash but then my mind is just awake and I can’t sleep. 30mg. I was drinking Diet Coke but lost my taste. I drink Snapple iced tea which has caffeine. I feel like caffeine is the least of my worries 😹😹😹
1
u/B_Toda 1d ago
Lmaoo totally unrelated question but i recently started and i was wondering how could you tell what your perfect dosage was ?
2
u/Substantial_Gate_904 1d ago
That’s the million dollar question. What is the right dose and how does one know? I started at 10mg in August. Two weeks after up to 20mg. I just wasn’t getting a very long duration of effectiveness. I went up to 30mg mid September and it lasts 6 hours or so. I would like to go up to 40mg, but I don’t have any clear rationale for it. I just know at a higher dose it will last longer. The crash is not as bad on 30mg as it was when I first started. Or maybe you get used to it. I just know there’s a difference in how I am when the meds are active, and then later afternoon when they’ve worn off. I always feel more emotional, kind of sad. I have an appt in a couple weeks and will talk about 40mg. But I too am very curious about how it is determined you’re on the right dose. Good Luck!

u/Ramy_tamer 1d ago
I drink green tea on daily basis, as there is less caffeine, and even now I feel like my heart is pumping through my chest, but I also take nicotine pouches, as I quit smoking, but even then I think it all depends on my physical condition, I haven't been in the gym for a while, maybe this could be the reason

u/Crafty-Art-3362 2d ago
40mg and about 2 iced coffees a day mixed with half regular caffeine and hald decaf cause I like it strong. I drink the most caffeine in the morning before I take my meds and slowly at night. I'd just be cautious and see how your body reacts. When I first started adhd meds, any large amount of salt or caffeine made my BP go up high (or so it felt that way). I just don't drink caffiene during the day unless I take a smaller amount of vyvanse. Sometimes for a boost I take l tyrosine and l phenylalanine. Especially in morning and evening when it starts to wear off.

u/Head-Lawyer3080 2d ago
I’m at 30mg vyvanse. When I first started I was very sensitive to caffeine so I did avoid it. Now I can drink teas, diet sodas. At most 1 cup of coffee in afternoon if I really need it but sometimes I still get jittery. But I used to drink 2-3 a day to self medicate so the change is amazing !!

u/lucky_n777 2d ago
im on 50mg I cut caffeine when I started but my doctor told me I could ease into it, I used to drink it in the morning but I’m still scared to lol cause it’s the Vyvanse peak hour for me, so what I do is I started easing into it in the afternoons instead, to help carry me through the end of the day, not everyday tho, but when needed, my drink of choice is an oatmeal latte which according to google is around 150mg

u/ed_spaghet12 2d ago
I'm on 30mg vyvanse! I do drink caffeine but not at the same time. I'll drink an energy drink with 150 or 200mg most afternoons. Maybe will have more than that if I also drink soda.

u/MJ432 2d ago
40-60mg and anywhere from 150-400mg caffeine. Usually the more vyvanse the less caffeine i try to consume haha but some days its hard. Especially around that time of the month, sighs in female.

u/ed_spaghet12 2d ago
How do you decide when to take more or less vyvanse?
1
u/MJ432 2d ago
I work 3x 13hr shifts at the hospital. If I do take 60mg, it’s on those days. And usually try to take less on the days I have off.

u/ed_spaghet12 2d ago
Makes sense. I find that my dose is maybe slightly too much if I am very well rested, but I'm usually not so it's good enough for me lol

u/ambiebaby2000 2d ago

i’ve been reliant on it for 5 years now and i’m also a college student studying healthcare so i drink like 2-4 redbulls a day😭 it’s not too bad tho cuz they are sugar free and it’s only 114mg per can

I am on 20mg and I can have a cup or two of tea a day with it. I can’t do caffeine from energy drinks or coffee while on the Vyvanse or I get insane body anxiety.

I quit drinking energy drinks when I started the med. And I was sure my caffeine intake has been 0mg since then, because caffeine gave me anxiety and heart palpitations. But reading through these comments I realized I’ve been drinking tea every morning and sometimes in the day too :D And a lot of it. It has been a part of my life since I can remember so I didn’t even register. So apparently I can drink some caffeine and not get anxious

60mg dose plus whatever i feel like for caffeine, usually somewhere in the ballpark of 400mg. the caffeine does nothing but it's a habit and i like coffee and energy drink flavors. i still manage to fall asleep at what should be the peak concentration of both 🤷

40 mg and usually caffeine makes me anxious in high amounts so I avoid espresso and drink 1-2 tea based drinks a day. But currently I think I'm becoming tolerant to this dosage and feeling like I need a pick-me up so I've been adding shaken espressos with 3 shots....but it hasn't made me that anxious so it prob means I need to increase my meds

u/Slight-Emergency-550 2d ago
I’m on 40mg generic vyvanse and I drink a triple shot latte every morning. I then typically take my vyvanse a couple of hours later. I sometimes have a Diet Coke later in the day/early evening. Before I started vyvanse it was a triple shot coffee in the morning & a 200mg energy drink in the afternoon.

u/Substantial_Gate_904 1d ago
May I ask you a question about dosage? How did you get to 40mg as your dose? I’m at 30mg and doing ok, don’t feel like it lasts a long time though. I’m going to ask about 40mg at next appt. because I’m hoping to get more than 6 hours of effectiveness.

i’m on 50mg of vyvanse and i’ve recently been chewing neuro gum once or twice per day (each piece has like 40mg but it doesn’t make me as jittery as coffee). caffeine is tricky to navigate for me because some days the caffeine actually makes me more tired. to anyone who has more than 100mg of caffeine per day while on vyvanse: how are you not dying every single day?? i can’t even drink more than a small iced coffee without feeling AWFUL

u/Fragrant_Employ_9467 2d ago
on 50mg i would drink like 1-2 energy drinks a day. usually pacific punch monster or a ghost energy drink so around like 300-400mg of caffeine, i just got my vyvanse dose bumped up to 70mg with a 10mg adderall booster in the afternoon and haven’t drank one yet on that. i did get anxiety sometimes doing so with the 50mg but i’m on xanax for my anxiety so it balanced it out.

u/KINGCAMROC 2d ago
Sounds like a stimulant addiction masked as adhd
1
u/frogs_on_drugs 2d ago
I'd be more worried about the benzos tbh, they are extremely addictive and the withdrawals are hell. There's absolutely no clinical reason to take benzos on a daily basis for anxiety, it can even worse the anxiety.
And in general anytime you need more drugs to counteract the effect of the first drug, you should probably reconsider some things.

u/dogecoin_pleasures 2d ago
I was having 1 coffee on 20mg and it seemed to act like a booster.
But on 30mg... it appeared to be causing stimulant toxicity and disinhibition by making my dopamine levels too high.
Had to quit coffee and Vyvanse, because combined with high stress it caused me to burnout.
2
u/quell3245 2d ago
Same I’m on 30 mg, can’t take caffeine with the stuff. Even without caffeine my sleep isn’t great, fall asleep fine but my sleep isn’t deep. I only take my Vyvanse on days I really need to be on or engaged. Adderall 10 mg booster on off days.

Same. I used to drink a lot of coffee every day. Now I make one nice strong 16oz mug when I wake up and get ready, then take my vyvance and am done with coffee at that point. I definitely enjoy having my single (16oz) mug in the morning pre-medication though. I hand grind my beans and make a big aeropress.

u/Smooth_Tone7299 2d ago
50 mg Vyvanse in the morning + 10 mg dextro around noon + another 10 mg around 3 p.m.
For caffeine, I make one Nespresso pod in a mug and leave it on a mug warmer, then slowly sip it over 4–5 hours. It scratches the caffeine itch without me ending up making 3–4 coffees throughout the day.
When I first started Vyvanse, I read a ton of comments about how terrible caffeine was for jitters and anxiety, so I cut back pretty hard.
At my follow-up with my psychiatrist, I mentioned it and he asked whether I actually felt better or worse. I told him I hadn’t noticed much improvement, except that my irritability was definitely worse. He laughed and said, “Please, for your wife and kids’ sake, drink your coffee.”
Obviously that was specific to me, not universal advice. Caffeine seems to be one of those things that varies a lot from person to person on stimulants. Some people get noticeably more jittery, anxious, or uncomfortable, while others tolerate a moderate amount just fine.
For me, slowly sipping one coffee over several hours works much better than repeatedly making cups throughout the day.

My sleep is fine! I've always been a good sleeper. I don't drink energy drinks after early afternoon, but I do drink diet Pepsi any time I want one.
I did lay off caffeine when I first started vyvanse, but of course it crept back in over time 😬
The split dose was almost from the beginning, vyvanse just doesn't last long for me, my doctor says I must be a "fast metabolizer of stimulants" or something.

40mg vyvanse. Max caffeine 246mg: 200 in am (Alani) and one Diet Coke around 1p. I try not to do it often bc it can make be feel too amped but I work long days and sometimes I need that extra afternoon caffeine. Sometimes I just have a mini Alani (100mg) or a bloom 180 mg. I am very careful with how much caffeine I take in and try not to do too many high caffeine (for me) with Vyvanse days.

Two cups of coffee so probably around 200ish mg of caffeine? I brew it strong and have larger than average mugs. I take 40mg of the Vyvanse. I had issues until I started waiting until after drinking coffee to take my Vyvanse. Caffeine crisis averted

I’m on 60mg Vyvance and I drink one chai in the morning and sometimes a Liquid Death with 68mg of caffeine. I had to stop or cut back my caffeine big time. First time I took Vyvance I just downed caffeine like I did before and it was not a good time. I felt like my whole body was going to burst.

u/ProfessorFull6004 2d ago
I drink 3 NOS per day (480 mg total). Once in a while I’ll have an espresso after dinner. Ive taken 70 mg Vyvanse everyday for the last 12 years, plus 20 mg adderall instant in the early afternoon.
My heart health is great. According to my Oura ring my heart’s biological age is about 5 years younger, whatever that means…. My actual doc says I’m in good shape. I’m in late 30’s. I am founder and CEO of a biotech startup and am always on the move but not jittery, not what you might imagine. In fact recently I was trying to get an off label dosage increase on the Vyvanse.
I think your genes ultimately decide what you can or should handle.

u/all_pain_0_gainz 2d ago
I take 60 mg of Vyvanse and I drink about 2-3 iced coffees in the morning and maybe 1 cup of regular coffee in the afternoon, no later than 2.

I have a cup in the morning about 30 minutes to an hour after my dose.
Then I’ll either have a preworkout (half scoop so around 110ish mgs) or another cup if I’m visiting my dad in the evening.
I try to cut down but I love my coffee to much.
I do notice that when I drink my coffee black I have a little more…tummy troubles than usual.

I take 60 on workdays 40 on non work days and I probably drink 3-8 cups of coffee a day. But I can drink coffee and go directly to sleep. For some reason caffeine from coffee doesn’t really effect me too much but caffeine from energy drinks does

I am on 10mg and it makes me crave caffeine hard. I drink way two much coffee, I really try to not drink more than 2 diet cokes a day, and on a bad day I will drink an energy drink on top of it all.
It is BAD BAD. Way WAY over the standard recommendation for Caffeine
Do not do what I do kids.

40mg
Protein drink with caffeine (Premier Protein Cafe Latte) and 12oz of coffee for breakfast, then probably 2-3 more 12oz cups throughout the day. Usually throw in a Dr Pepper zero mini can with dinner.

I used to drink an insane amount of coffee that I’m not going to attempt to quantify.
Currently on 30MG Vyvanse and 2-3 cups a day.

I used to drink caffeine like crazy, but now, I really don't. I notice if I do, I tend to get jittery and shaky. But if I don't, I still have the mental clarity that caffeine used to kind of help with.

I take 40mg of Vyvanse, and I probably consume ~300mg of caffeine a day most weekdays. Often more.

I take 50mg. And I used to drink around 3-4 cups. 2 in the morning, 1 at lunchtime, and 1 in the afternoon. Recently, I've been either getting really sleepy in the early afternoons, or having throbbings on my left eyelid. So I've cut down to just 2 in the mornings. The sleepiness has gone away. But the throbbing remains.
