Does vyvanse cause erectile dysfunction?

I've been prescribed Vyvanse for my ADHD recently. Off late, I've been experiencing some issues with erectile function. Is this a known side effect of Vyvanse?

Hey there! Yes, it can sometimes happen because of how stimulants affect blood flow, but it's usually temporary! 🌟 Just have an open chat with your doc, they deal with this all the time and will help you out easily! 👍

This is actually a known issue because stimulants can constrict blood vessels. A simple solution is to talk to your doctor about adjusting the timing of your dose or checking your blood pressure. Don't worry, it usually gets resolved once the dosage is managed.

When I was discussing treatment options at Max Hospital, the doctor mentioned that sexual side effects can occur with stimulants. I highly advise you to speak clearly with your prescribing doctor about this. They can safely adjust your prescription or suggest alternatives.
