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

Still here, still struggling. A mother's tears.
My son just turned 15 last month. He has the inattentive form of ADHD. He is struggling his freshman year with the usual--missed assignments, etc. Get getting him to do homework as a chore. He was on methylphenidate and Vyvanse and both did not work for him. He has a 504 on file and I let the teachers

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.

How to convince a ADHD/ODD 10 yr old to take his medication and go to therapy
My son is 10 yrs old and diagnosed with ADHD and ODD (Oppositional defiant disorder). He used to be a happy, go-lucky, very social boy and he has morphed into a moody, angry, defensive "teen" who hates his family and his life. He has quit all his activities (even ones that he excelled at) He is in

A little advice if poss.
My daughter has been given a working diagnosis for ADHD and has been prescribed
Elvanse
20mg daily. She has now been on it for a week. There is no effect with this medication. She says she notices no difference at all and feels as she has not taken anything.

ADHD AND RAPID CYCLING BIPOLAR, stimulants stopped working
Do all stimulants Just stop working, I’m in the Uk and can only get Ritalin, concerta or
elvanse
. I’ve probably got faulty genes as my 3 kids all have disorders, my son has autism.

I eat because I am depressed. I am depressed because I eat!
So tired of the cyclical affect. When I’m depressed I eat and then I eat I am depressed. Any thoughts? I would love for my doctor to place me back on Vyvanse

Am I the only one? I've become the type of parent that I said I've never become! Argh!
Where do I begin? My son is 14, my only child. He has ADHD inattentive type. We tried methylphenidate and Vyvanse, but both made him very sick and didn't help. he is now in the 9th grade and doing pretty decent for the most part, but missing assignments and things like that. He recently had a 504 put

ADHD "Cured"
I had made a post basically outlining my negative life experiences and how ADHD played a role and I had treated for depression (a symptom of the ADHD) for years and I was also looking for opinions about Adderall. I had taken Vyvanse for a few weeks with 0 results, may as well have been placebo. After

First day on Vyvanse.
I am on 40 mg. First day I could tell a huge difference. Today, second day, I can't even tell I took the medication. Is this normal?

Hello. I was diagnosed with Adult ADD last week. Seriously? I’ve fumbled about and managed for years. In my 60’s now. However started on Vyvanse. I feel it’s keeping me from heading back to bed , which I had been doing. My depression is lifted. I’m no smarter, but maybe more alert!:) Sleepygal
