Vyvanse, a stimulant medication primarily used to treat ADHD, can increase the levels of certain neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine and norepinephrine, in the brain. This heightened activity can lead to overstimulation of the central nervous system, potentially resulting in symptoms such as psychosis or depersonalization, especially in individuals with a predisposition to mental health issues. Additionally, misuse or high doses of Vyvanse can exacerbate these effects, leading to more severe psychological disturbances. Monitoring and dosage adjustments are crucial to mitigate these risks.
