[Update]: Thanks everyone for answering and caring. I wasn’t expecting this reaction at all.
While I got over the panick attack quickly I really appreciated all the comfort and info you provided. <3
At the end of the day I only got a slightly worse headache and rebound effect but that was to be expected. It’s been barely three weeks since I’ve got started with medication and next Monday I have a follow-up meeting with my doctor.
I noted everything up with the rest of my experiences just in case it’s useful since I think it might be working better… xD
Anyway, thank you all again. (:
[END of Update]
I’m on Elvanse (lisdexanfetamin) 30mg I just took two pills instead of one by mistake.
I’m quite sure I wasn’t noticing anything with 30mg but now I fear an overdose or some shit.
Tho here if 30mg is not enough they jump you to 50mg which is not far from 60mg…
The thing is that I’m scared and don’t know what I should do.
You might get pretty uncomfortable but you will be ok. Been there, same dose
Yeah… and my psychiatrist was probably going to need to rise my dosage anyway. Much calmer now. Thanks. :)
As others have said, shouldn’t be an issue, I’m currently on 70 mg in the morning and another 20 mg after lunch since I felt the effect wasn’t sufficient later in the day so they gave me a second dosage for the afternoon. Here (in Sweden) it’s possible to get 70+30 mg if it’s necessary for a boost later in the day.
I got started with medication barely three weeks ago. Next Monday I’ll be seeing my doctor again to do a follow-up and for that I’ve been keeping a journal of the whole thing, including this event.
Tbh I don’t feel anything at all from 30mg, and for side effects I get really lethargic for a bit and maybe some headaches here and there (specially in the begging) at a regular time interval in the evenings.
I’m going to ask for something to counter that since it happens way to early for me.
I’m on Spain so at least I don’t have to deal with the drug situation there.
You’ll almost certainly be alright, keep track of your status and call a nurse/teladoc to see if you need medical assistance. The most important thing is you stay calm and don’t let your panic take over.

Here is some online information I found, I can’t tell you how accurate it will be for you, but it seems that a max dosage is at least 70mg, and if I’m reading it correctly, that’s for pediatric cases.
I’m keeping track of the symptoms anyway since this is my first month on medication.
But thank you very much for the reassurance, I almost lost my shit thinking I could be done for a mistake like that.
Just had breakfast and much more calm. I also informed a few people irl just in case.
Keep calm, the first time I doubled up I was so stressed about blood pressure that my freaking out spiked my blood pressure (I’m on methylphenidate, myself). Doubling prescriptions is never good but, aside EoL oncology meds, dosages are usually set to never be close to the range for immediate toxicity.
Your head might be funny feeling today but you can make it through.
Doctors can prescribe up to 70mg doses of Elvanse, so you shouldn’t overdose. If necessary seek medical attention, but most likely you’ll just notice it come on much more since you still seem to be trying to find the right dose for you. If you weren’t noticing anything on 30mg then you might see some positive effects at 60mg, but you should work with your doctor to find the right dose for you, taking more than prescribed once is a mistake, doing it regularly might be seen as abuse of a controlled drug.
I’m on a 60 mg dose daily. You’ll be ok.
