Hello everyone! I returned home today from an 8 day stay at the hospital. I am glad I voluntarily went. I received a new diagnosis: bipolar 2. The doctor started me on lamictal, doubled my antidepressant and took me off of Vyvanse. Looking back, I think I had been in a hypo-manic state since my last

Happiness + Vision = Success. But happiness must come now.
I found the following quote from John D. Rockefeller: I was early taught to work as well as play, My life has been one long, happy holiday; Full of work and full of play- I dropped the worry on the way- And God was good to me every day. Just about every one of the most successful people I know seemed

Who does med breaks?
Hi! Our new pediatric psychiatrist wants us to take our son (12) off of his vyvanse on the weekends. I’m not opposed to it, but is anyone else taking med breaks too? He says he doesn’t like out of control his ADD is when he is off his meds. I’ll have him talk to his dr. At his next session, but looking

Wow.
I have an interview with NVIDIA in 20 minutes and my Vyvanse just kicked in. This stuff seems to make it seem like I could conquer anything. For better or for worse... this job could be fun. I just hope I don't talk too much (like the Vyvanse has me doing normally when it first kicks in).

12 yo with ADHD, Anxiety
My 12 yo daughter is on Vyvanse. This seems to help, but even with it, she has a lot of defiance, and anger outbursts. She has tried Adderall XR, but this was not lasting beyond a few hours, and she had a lot of obsessive thoughts. with Adderall. Any thoughts on what might work better for her? She has

Help with 9 year old with ADHD
I’m new here and struggling with my 9 year old with severe ADHD. He is currently on 50 mg vyvanse and 3mg of guanfacine and .25mg risperidone. My son was diagnosed when he was 5. We have tried different types on medications but feel like I’m not getting anywhere. No one seems to understand. I’ve had

Starting Meds Monday, need some positive stories!
My 15 year old was diagnosed with severe dyslexia and mild/moderate ADHD this past January. He had always been a great student in high level courses, but high school got the better of him and that is how we found all this out. He did not want meds at first (I think he needed to digest this new version

Beware Vyvanse Crash!! No one told me about the effects that can happen when Vyvanse wears off in evenings!!
On only 20 mg Vyvanse in morning I was feeling GREAT all day, but then started to feel depressed at night. ("Vyvanse Crash" I later learned.) Doc suggested taking another 20 mg in afternoon which worked...for a little while anyway. But I had to take every day. Then the nighttime depression came back

Anxiety
Summer 2017, I started feeling less like myself. Didn’t know what was going on, never really gave it a lot of attention. Until I ended up in the ER because I was having a anxiety attack. That day was horrible, my body went numb, I couldn’t move, couldn’t breath, I thought I was having a heart attack.

And suddenly it returns
I’ve been crazy positive lately. I’ve lost close to 70lbs in the past year, I’ve been doing a ritual when waking up each morning to jump start a positive day and get me hungry for life, I’ve been exercising and people are noticing the differences. Yesterday, after the sky got somewhat cloudy, I noticed

bad night
Good morning. I was going to journal, but I thought I would write things out here instead. I have not been able to get a good night's sleep in over a week. In a nutshell, my husband has been out of work since December, I was in the hospital recently and am unable to work again, we cannot pay our bills

ADHD med in morning and CBD oil in afternoon?
Hey everyone! I have a 9 year old son with ADHD, and he takes 20 mg of Vyvanse each morning. It is working very well for him, but he is metabolizing through it very quickly, and it is out of his system by 3:30. I was interested in possibly giving him some CBD oil in the afternoon to help with his

Changes
My 8 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 3. He is possibly the most active child I have ever encountered. It is actually what most people love about him although quite exhausting for me. He has taken Vyvanse for the past year. He has minimal issues in school. Most recently, I have noticed

Absolutely falling apart
I'm at my wits end. I'm exhausted, sad and broken. I have a 13 year old son with adhd and he just seems to get harder with each day. It breaks my heart on one way as I love him with all I have. He is a beautiful boy who adores his little brother and loves his big sister. He is a good kid but each day

New to Inattentive ADHD
Hi, my 10yr old son was recently diagnosed with Inattentive ADHD and we just started Vyvanse 20mg today. He had some side effects such as loss of appetite, tired, upset stomach and bouts of being sad. I'm thinking this medication is not for him. Even though it is just the first day on it. Can you tell

Anyone else get an irrational fear that they're dying/about to die?
Lately my anxiety has been really increased due to going through Vyvanse withdrawals as I wean off of the medication. In addition to that, I recently had a panic attack that landed me in the hospital when I consumed too much caffeine. During that experience I genuinely thought that I was going to die
