ADHD Misdiagnosed as Bipolar 46 years
Was misdiagnosed with bipolar mood disorder (manic depression) from age 18 to age 64 when ADHD was diagnosed 2 years ago, a lifelong condition. I've gone through a myriad of different ADHD meds and am now on 60 mg Straterra plus 30 mg Vyvanse both first thing in the AM. But I continue to look for

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

First attempt at ADHD meds for 16/17 year old daughter was a Fail.
My 16 year old (almost 17 year old) daughter was just recently diagnosed with ADHD (without hyperactivity present). She was prescribed Vyvanse which was definitely NOT right for her as within days she became severely depressed. My daughter tends to be on the depressed/low key/certainly NOT hyper side

Bad reaction to Vyvanse
My 16 year old daughter has recently been diagnosed with severe ADHD, without hyperactivity present. The doctor started her on Vyvanse 30 mg. I was hoping for a quick reaction, but not like what we got. After only 6 days worth of medication, my daughter was showing signs of deep depression. I stopped

Newbie on here.....
This is my first time posting on here. I have been a member and been reading all of the different posts for a few weeks now. My son is 6.5, will be 7 in August. He has been on medication for the past year and a half. They started him out on methaphinate which worked so good. Then the insurance didn't

At a loss, need help!!
I’m relatively new on here, just reading posts and most I can relate to...I’m just pulling at straws lately, trying to get the help my 9 year old son needs. I’ve enrolled school psychologist, private psychologist (we love him but I dong see any real progress in my son), so now we have an appointment

Results are in
Hi everyone! The results are finally in! I decided a month after my son start Concerta 27mg to to the gene test to see if the drug is metabolizing in his system correctly. I am from Canada so the company I found is called BiogeniQ. The first week on Concerta I saw some changes but after that there

ADHD twins
Mine are almost nine and to be honest, I have no idea how we got here. they are both now medicated with
elvanse
(a slow release 12 hour med) which means they can now go out and play as normal with their peers.

So dismayed and frustrated!
Hello, my son is 14, was diagnosed with the inattentive form of ADHD a year ago. I home schooled him in 7th grade and put him in a charter school for 8th grade and this is the first year has been an academic disaster!!! His school is rigorous with project-based learning and I am finding that this is
