Adult ADHD - Vyvanse/Adderall do NOTHING - Not sure where to go from here...
Diagnosed with ADHD (as well as depression and binge eating disorder) in Oct 2018. Dealt with it my whole life, but never medicated because it wasn't disruptive until recently. Oct 2018 I was Rx'd Vyvanse 30mg (as well as Wellbutrin 150mg, currently on 300mg). Vyvanse increased to 40mg in November. In

Talk to dr about increase dose
I am currently taking Vyvanse 40mg for my ADHD. I have been on that dose for only 2 months. Before I was on concerta but didn’t work for me so my dr changed it to Vyvanse 30 mg for a month but I told him after it wasn’t as affective so we bumped it up to 40 mg. It works great for the first 6 hours but

Choosing ehe right type of High School Private vs Public
Hello All, My son is going to high school next year, and I'm anxious about choosing the best fit for him. My son has ADHD and is always picking the wrong crowd of friends. I'm constantly getting calls from his current school, and when I talk with his teachers, they consistently say "your son is hanging

ADHD adolescents who had a stroke at birth
My 17 year old daughter suffered a stroke as a one-day-old baby. The technical name for it is neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (NAIS). I can’t find any information on how adolescents like her cope with the ADHD that such strokes usually end up causing. She’s a special case and I’d love to hear stories

Could ADHD drugs ultimately harm children’s brains?
My 17 year old daughter has ADHD Inattentive. She took Strattera for nearly 2 years but it lost effectiveness. She just tried Vyvanse again (which she briefly tried age 13 but stopped due to anxiety). So age 17 she tried Vyvanse 20mg, 30mg and 40 mg. None worked at all. I started reading how ADHD drugs

This is working for us! Want to help someone else if this story looks similar to your child or teen
I am posting this because there has to be someone else out there this may help. I have hope right now for my teen and I want to share this. I can't tell you how happy I am right now. We still have a long road I'm sure, and we have had a tremendous number of ups and downs over the years. We tried everything

New Medication after Vyvanse?
Hello, I’m very new to this site. My son, now 23 was diagnosed with ADHD in the third grade. He successfully took Adderall XR for about 8 years (the last two of those years were a mess).

Can Stimulants (adhd) mask hypothyroidism?
I am on a drug known as
Elvanse
for ADHD. It is amphetamine based. Could it cause my TSH levels to appear lower than they actually are. TSH is 2.7.
