Julianna McLeod experienced her first psychotic episode after taking Vyvanse for ADHD, mistakenly consuming more than her prescribed dose, leading to euphoric delusions.
Stimulant medications like Vyvanse can lead to rare but serious side effects, such as hallucinations and delusions, prompting the FDA to issue warnings regarding these risks.
A recent study indicates that high doses of prescription amphetamines significantly increase the risk of psychosis or mania, pointing to dose-dependent effects of these medications.
Despite the known risks, psychosis and mania as side effects of stimulant medications remain under-researched, with a significant portion of patients experiencing prolonged recovery times.
