If Vyvanse is taken with alcohol then this can cause a number of negative effects on the body;

• Liver failure: Vyvanse is an amphetamine medication, and if it is mixed with alcohol it can cause the liver to fail. Although this is rare, it is a possibility and anyone who suffers liver failure will have to undergo an emergency liver transplant in order to live.

• Cardiovascular damage: If you already have some sort of heart defect or problem then alcohol and Vyvanse should be avoided at all costs. If you don't have a heart condition, but have taken these two together, then your chances of developing a cardiovascular problem is greatly increased.

• Tolerance levels: If you take Vyvanse and drink alcohol together your tolerance to alcohol will be vastly diminished. Black outs can occur as well as other alcohol related problems.
