Currently we are trying vyvanse and hoping with the right dose things may “settle” (whatever that means for us eh!) He’s addicted to video games and trying to get him

Is this common?
I'm a 42-year-old male. For twenty years I have dealt with ocd and depression. Recently I was diagnosed with ADHD and put on Vyvanse. It seemed to help for a while. Eventually I was put on the max dose. For about 3 months now, I have noticed some big changes. I have this constant feeling of anxiousness

Medication help!
Hello all you wonderful people! My doctor just started me on Vyvanse a few days ago, and I'm already experiencing side effects( headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea. You know, the norm) However, one concerning one came up: mood swings. I can go from rage to depression to elation. (An example

ADHD Guanfacine HCL
Does anyone have experience with the extended release guanfacine hcl to treat ADHD? My kiddo just received that prescription and after reading about it, I am quite hesitant to have her try it as it is not as straight forward as Vyvanse or Concerta. I'm also concerned bc she has been diagnosed with low

Confused on what to do
Hi! I am a undergrad college student struggling with severe ADHD. I am currently taking 70 mg of Vyvanse and 2 mg of Guanfacine to help me manage my symptoms, and it doesn't seem to be helping a whole lot. I have currently been hyper focusing on finding tools that can help me manage my symptoms throughout

Recently diagnosed & started meds
hi I’m new to the group, I’m 64 & recently diagnosed with adhd & started on vyvanse 30mg ten days ago, the first few days I had intense speedy sensations, dry mouth …as per suggestion of my psychiatrist, these side effects have reduced a lot. But I still feel ‘ wired’ particularly in the afternoon

She is taking 100 mg Pristiq and 30 mg of Vyvanse. of course, we are unable to find generic Vyvanse anywhere. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. We have

When I started to take stimulants and somehow got stable on Vyvanse on Monday,Wednesday,and Friday

Hello Everyone
Hello, I'm Lauryn, and I recently joined this online forum. I am a mother and a woman in long-term recovery. I have been dealing with various mental health challenges, including ADHD. About a year ago, I enrolled in college, so I started taking medication for ADHD, which has been incredibly helpful.

I could use some advice for my son's meds.
My eight-year-old son was diagnosed with ADHD about a year and a half ago. I strongly suspected as much for a couple years. He had every symptom. Anyway, we had him on Ritalin at first. I want to say we started at 5mg, which helped a little, but we moved him up to 10 a couple weeks after if I remember

Desoxyn
Hi. I've been taking Vyvanse 70 mg for over 12 years now and it seems to have lost its effectiveness. I've tried other drugs Adderall, Ritalin, etc etc I'm interested in trying Desoxyn. Any experience with this drug from others would be helpful and appreciated. Thank you

10 year old girl suddenly refusing medication
My daughter has been on Vyvanse during the school week for the past 2 years. It’s been incredibly helpful for her to focus in school on activities. There have been times she has not taken it, without fail I will get contacted by teachers, coaches, etc, asking what is wrong, something is off, etc. so

PDF of Hopkins or Mayo DA Withdrawal protocol??
Hi, I seem to remember a while back finding a link (here I think, maybe on Reddit?) to a PDF someone had gotten from Hopkins, or one of the other big clinics, detailing their precise protocol and what to "expect" when finally off of a DA in terms of days, etc. Can someone please repost that? I went
