Does anyone know why nortriptylene might stop you from having a crash from vyvanse? I had taken vyvanse in the past on its own and had a dark crash, then tried it again recently on its own and had again another crash. Then I started notriptylene and was so tired and trying to keep up with my little one, and decided to try again took a vyvanse and no crash! Two weeks without any crashes the entire time and felt better than I have in so long! I felt great! The vyvanse made such a difference to my mood if I took it one day, not the next. Then I had an unfortunate reaction to upping the nortripylene and was told to stop, so am off both now. I am horribly depressed and in a fog, and trying to take care of my baby exhausted and in tears. I want to start another med that may have the same effect on the vyvanse and preventing the crash, but have no idea what it could have been - affected the other neurotransmitters? Does anyone have any idea, any similar experiences? I doubt she will want to try another tricyclic because of my reaction, so am desperately searching for an answer so that I can get back to what I was for the last two weeks, and feel awful for my little one seeing his mom in tears, a horrible mom in comparison to what I've been!!!!!
