Vyvanse/elvanse

[Edwards021]

We just had to switch our 7 year old from Ritalin to yvyanse, he just started it today and seem very withdraw. I normally pray for him to be quiet but I don’t like seeing him like this.

Could you please share your stories on what to expect the first few days he on 30mg

Regards

The first day/week on Vvyanse will be different than after a week. However, unless your son is large, 30 is a high dose to start in my opinion. Mine is 12, weighs around 80 and she is on 20 mg. She's not a zombie at all. Its a stimulant, so your son should be peppy. If you're pediatrician is prescribing, I'd recommend going to a psychiatrist.

Thanks for replying. He more alert today thanks god. yes his doctors recommended that dose as he was on 25mg of Ritalin and it was giving him the same effect anymore.How has it helped your son?

Vyvanse made my son over emotional and burst out in tears. But right now he is on Ritalin and it seems to be working. Everybody is different.
