In reply to Vyvanse - sex drive / anxiety..., posted by SheilaC on March 12, 2010, at 10:24:28

After about 10 - 20 minutes I stop sweating and seem ok. Is this anxiety? Is the Vyvanse causing it? Is there anyway around it? Would taking Klonopin before social situations stop this? It's embarrassing to be dripping sweat - people are probably wondering what the heck is wrong with me.

You might try a half a dose or smaller of Lexapro to help with the anxiety, don't really know what might increase sex drive.
