Coronavirus and Resuming Meds- advice or similar experiences much appreciated!!
I had been taking Vyvanse since November and was still working with my dr to find the right dose- started at 20 and worked up to 40mg. The meds seem to work well for me but I was finding that the effects seemed to wear off pretty quickly, especially as my body adjusted to each dose. Anyway, about 3 weeks

Intuniv
Our daughter recently started intuniv for ADHD management. Any one with experience with this drug. She did not tolerate stimulants- biphentin, vyvanse, concerta at the lowest doses. Made her extremely irritable, mood swings.

Should I switch to a non-stimulant ADHD med?
Sounds weird but when I take my 70 mg Vyvance I have tics almost? I have a few physical things I do off my meds when I am anxious or in situations that I feel stuck in, they calm me down (I don’t know what to call them). I’ll rub my finger nails across each other over and over, or I’ll pull at my ear

Elvanse reviews
Hi My son been on
elvanse
for about 10 months, we noticed improvement but his anxiety started to get worse, it now seem he in constant flight or fight mode and has started being violent and started to have very bad night terrors. Could it be the medication?

start of vyvanse
Hi guys! So I finally got on my ADHD medicine today because it took a while to get a doc appointment and I'm on 40mg of vyvanse. I'm noticing that I feel like I'm very hyper aware and moving from thing to thihng and I thought vyvnase was supposed to slow you down. Anyone else experience something similar

20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH INATTENTIVE ADHD AND ANXIETY
my 20 year old daughter has inattentive ADHD. She went undiagnosed until she was 18. She takes 50mg Vyvanse. She likes it very much for the focus. I am not sure if it's related to the vyvanse (I really don't think so, ,but probably makes it worse), but she has anxiety- especially social anxiety. And

Booster for Vyvanse
I’ve been taking Vyvanse for years. Since about 2012. I was on 40 for about 5 years then went up to 60 & 70. Then I stopped at my own discretion. I decided to get back on but my doch had retired 2 days before I called. Wtf right... He referred me to another dr that he mentored which turned out great

Medication and prescriber advise please!
I went to see a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to see if my anxiety issues were stemming from ADHD and if adhd meds could be helpful. After a 20-30 min interview/discussion she agreed that ADHD sounded likely and prescribed Vyvanse. We started with 20mg and went up to 30 when I followed up a month later

10 year old son with Inattentive ADHD
Hello, my son was diagnosed last february with inattentive ADHD by his pediatrician. He was never sent to a psychiatrist for a second opinon. The first line of treatment was stimulant medication which I was very much against as he is only 10 years old and not at all impulsive or hyperactive. My husband

What is your experience with Lexapro and Folcalin?
My son recently went up to 60mg of Vyvanse from 50. We were also giving him 1.5 tabs of Guanfacine in the evening. The guanfacine did not give good results and his psychiatrist is suggesting trying Lexapro and dropping the Guanfacine. Anyone have experience with Lexapro with anxiety and rigidity? And

Introduction
Well, like a lot of others, been suffering from depression for a very long time. First bout was in 1999 and it seems like celexa was the “cure” for that particular time. The next bout was about 10 years ago and after some trial and error, it seemed that Cymbalta worked the best to get me to function

Vyvanse - First week, a bit of a rollercoaster?
Hello Everyone :) Im new here! I would love to connect with anyone who can give me any tips! I have just been diagnosed with Adult ADHD about a week ago at age 27, this has been a long life struggle of trying to work out why I always felt 'different' or why I felt like my brain was wired differently

Vyvanse making me sleepy but not tolerating higher dose
Hello all! So I’m about 5-6 weeks into my starting Vyvanse and all of the sudden I’m experiencing a really odd symptom- I am severely sleepy all. of. the. time. I can barely pry my eyes open when I first wake up in the morning. I’ve always struggled with fatigue but the grogginess is new. I’m still

Finding help after ADHD diagnosis post menopause
I am a 67 yr old female who has had a rough 16 years since menopause, with still no resolution for the correct meds for me. I was put on antidepressants at the start of menopause at 51, then wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until 61 - after 10 years of utter brain fog and apathy (and lost 4 jobs in a row).
