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

I’m seeing my adhd specialist on Tuesday and live in the UK so can only get
elvanse
/ vyvanse or concerta, Ritalin wasn’t helpful but maybe it can be used to boost
elvanse
effect ?

New here-Vyvanse works wonders for binge eating but does NOTHING for focus (30mg to 60mg over 10 weeks) also on Wellbutrin 300mg

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.

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

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.

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

Vyvanse doesnt work everytime. Just me?
I recently got put on vyvanse for the first time in my life. I have always had ADHD but managed just fine up until graduate school. I have found that sometimes vyvanse works WONDERFULLY (30mg) but sometimes it doesnt work at all! Is this just me? Does any one else experience this? Previous to this

Feeling frustrated
Have been feeling frustrated. Just recently my 5 yr old was put on vyvanse. At home he seems better focused. At school he is not. Won't do what teacher asks. Has a wetting accident almost every day.

Vyvanse too subtle?
Diagnosed only this year with ADHD. I am 53 yrs old. Also living with PTSD/bipolar. Psychiatrist felt it would be a good fit given I am prone to overeating. (That's a boredom thing I have found out) Gently dosed up from 20 mg and now I am going tp get 50mg. I guess its working, I just find it a very

Teenage son with ADD
Hi. My son’s Dad was diagnosed ADD as a child & his symptoms were probably a direct result of not being able to function in a loving & honest marriage. I’ve always known my son has it too since he was a baby. Yes, a baby. He screamed & cried all the time & became happier when he could talk. Did not sleep

ADHD and Depression
Our 8 year old son was diagnosed earlier this year and started meds a couple of months ago. We started with Vyvanse but the rebound meltdowns when the meds wore off were disastrous so we then switched to 30mg of ritallin. After the first day it seemed like a miracle drug. We had our happy fun loving
