Vyvanse Dry Mouth

[Seraph1]

I took a 70 mg vyvanse capsule by dissolving the powder in a water bottle and drinking it about 1.5 months ago. I do not have ADHD, I took it to help me prepare for my exams and the SAT. I'm 16 years old. My body weight is 180 pounds and my height is 6 feet. So is it normal for dry mouth to last this long? I'm afraid to go to the doctor because he may report me to the police for the illegal use of an ADHD medicine. Please help. I'm very worried that this condition may be permanent

Your doctor should report you to the police. Heck, if I knew who you were i would report you myself. The most natural way to learn and retain information for a person who does not have ADD is to study the material over a gradual period of time. You can't always have the easy way out of things.

Thank you for your help. I scored 710 on math, 730 reading, 690 writing.

     Ok, this is out of my league.  Dry mouth is a less serious side effect of adderall.   I think it would be unusual for the dry mouth  to have lasted so long, but really don't have a clue.   You might try sucking on hard candies to increase saliva, and see if that helps.  Give yourself some more time, and then go see a doc if it is still bothering you.   There is doctor/patient privilege which (I think) would not let him turn you over to the cops, and I doubt that they would care.
     i still wonder if there is not something else going on with you.   Which would be a good reason to see a doc.   What you took would not be an overdose over that time period.   How did it work for you with the SATs?  My own experience in college (a long time ago) was that usually I did worse when I tried the all night (aided by stims) method.      
    Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It's all day. And here is some extra info, I took two 20 mg adderals prior to 70mg vyvanse over a 48 hour period. And I don't smoke.

[Sandman2]

   opps, forgot you were 16.  so probably not a smoker.  Is your dry mouth all day long or mainly during night time and morning?

[Sandman2]

Are you a smoker?

[Seraph1]

No, I don't take any medications. I'm out of the states right now and can't see my doctor. Anything else that I should do?

[Sandman2]

   Well, if you have been sipping from the bottle for the last month - I could understand your worries :).   Anyway, it is out of your system overnight.   Something else is probably going on but not due to the V.  Are you on any other meds - particularly things for allergies?
