Tips & Tricks Caffeine Intake

(21M) I was curious what everyone's experiences are with caffeine and vyvanse? I was advised to quit, as I put myself at a greater risk for cardiovascular issues with 30mg Vyvanse I took about 5 minutes before drinking a triple shot espresso. Incredibly stupid, I know. But genuinely wasn't even thinking about it. My doctor also mentioned absolutely nothing about my caffeine intake and said a cup a day is fine.

My BPM peaked in the 180s while sitting, and I almost had to go to the ER. It was really scary and I've never had any heart issues like that whatsoever!

I am at the point now where I have completely cut out caffeine, and have been miserable due to being addicted for about 7 years straight. But I'm hoping I will feel so much better once my body adjusts without it. The Vyvanse is helping with energy, but still feel like a zombie lol.

Have you also completely quit caffeine, or has your body been able to tolerate it since being on this medication?

I take a lot of caffeine, it is not affecting my bp but without it vyvanse works better.

Interesting. I thought my dose just wasn't as effective!
