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

Zoloft added to ADHD meds
Does anyone out there have a teen/adult child who takes vyvanse, guanfacine AND zoloft? my daughter is considering trying Zoloft. Wondering if she will need to stop guanfacine in order to do so. I know we need to speak to doctor first. Just wondering if there is anyone out there in similar position

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).

Vyvanse or Wellbutrin causing hairloss?
Good morning. Have been experiencing hairloss for quite a while. Finally went to Derm. He said it's tellogen effluvium and most likely caused by Vyvanse and/or Wellbutrin. Anyone else experience this? Or anyone else have/had tellogen effluvium attributed to a different stimulant medication??

Focalin as afternoon booster
Hi, I’m on 30mg Vyvanse, which I usually take around 8am. It seems to work pretty well from about 9:30-2 or so but I find I need an afternoon coffee to stay focused and even that won’t be enough on the days that I work late. My dr suggested trying 5mg of Focalin around 2pm and that I don’t need to take

Another medication bites the dust.
Well Strattera lasted longer than I thought. I felt more calm and was way more connected with my emotions but it definitely made my day foggy and low energy. I ended up drinking coffee and energy drinks to stay level and it quite honestly wasn’t enough. So I decided to get back on Vyvanse. I talked

Therapy vs Coaching
My 15 year old son has been diagnosed with ADHD since 3rd grade. He is currently on vyvanse before school and adderal to assist with homework. He does well on tests but struggles in class due to not turning in homework. This has become a daily struggle. No behavioral issues either at home or school

From MAOI to MAOI
Was fine before when combined with 25mg dex and 10mg dex + 70mg
Elvanse
. Now I've relaxed for a while it's dropped a bit. It now reads 120/81, pulse 96bmp. Normal BP, not sure about pulse though.

Been on Elvanse (Vyvanse) for nearly three months, about to switch to Concerta XL for a trial...
This also happened right near the beginning of taking
Elvanse
, on a lower dose. I've shared this with my nurse-prescriber, who in conjunction with the psychiatrist has asked me to trial Concerta XL (slow release).

How does medication affect your life?
Hello, Recently I was put on IR adderall, I took 10mg 8am, 20mg 1:30-2pm (depends on when I could get my break at work), and 10mg at 4-5pm. Before this I was on Vyvanse for a year and stopped taking it due to not feeling myself. While I was taking adderall I got moody at about 8pm, constant fights

When my vyvanse wears off
Hi everyone! I’ve heard others my have similar struggle when my medication wears off I feel like I struggle making good choices. I feel off. This is what I think might help for me that I want to work on. That is routinely wake up and go to bed same time every day. What are your thoughts?
