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). He then was changed to Vyvanse 70 mg for the last 6 years. Although, there have always been struggles, the medication

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.

IEP ? 504?
I’m in need of help. My 10 year old son, diagnosed with combined ADHD/ODD. He takes vyvanse 30 mg for school. Each year he starts off well, but by January, the rest of the school year is a disaster. I get phone calls several ones a week about his behavior. Not listening, talking back, talking too much

One journey complete. The best chapter has just begun!
So it’s been a year now since I really embarked on my journey into self improvement. I started going to doctors, was diagnosed with adult adhd, and started on vyvanse in February of last year. Since then, I have lost 100lbs and got myself lean and fit. I eat properly, and have found that I feel better

ADHD, Addiction, And The Empty Apathetic Void.
Struggling with past addiction, basically anything that would chemicaly induce happiness, I manage to mostly stay clean but its been a long time.. And I feel like the only happiness I can feel is artificially provoked. This is a dreadful feeling and a fear that leaves a sinking feeling... Im holding

Frustrated with Vyvanse....
Hello everyone! I was just diagnosed at the age of 40 a few months ago. I've tried a few different medications with very mixed results so far. I recently started taking 40mg Vyvanase with ZERO improvement of my ADHD symptoms (and there are A LOT!!). Anyone have this problem with Vyvanase? Experience

I can’t take it anymore :(
My son 14, Adhd , currently takes Vyvanse 20mg/ Guanfacine 2mg combo . We started in the mid December. It looked like finally we found the right medication, but we didn’t. He became upset, angry, mean and disrespectful. We got to the point that I couldn’t catch 2 min of normal conversation with him.
