ADHD and anxiety
Hi guys, i have had ADD without hyperactivity since I was 14 I have been on Vyvanse for the past few moths but can obnly tolerate 30 mg without anxiety. 30 mg doesnt cut it though. I need a med that is not going to cause anxiety. Anyone have any similar issues or suggestions on what med helped you and

Changing my son's school
Hello, My newly turned 14 year old son was diagnosed with inattention type ADD last year. I was homeschooling him at the time. This school year he returned to school (a charter school). He started meds (Methylphenidate first, didn't work--- now Vyvanse which caused lots of side effects). He's failing

Neurofeedback success?
Hi fellow ADHD parents. Our son was diagnosed with ADHD two years ago and was put on aderol (sp) daily, then they added Vyvanse to his daily meds and now they have added Mirtazapine as well. None of it seems to actually be working, and he still has outbursts, trouble controlling his anger and is completely

Still Having Vyvance Afternoon Crash
Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well and having a great start to your week! I am still having problems with Vyvanse wearing off after 4-5 hours. My dose was recently increased, too, for that very reason. I experience a “crash” so to speak, with extreme anxiety, fatigue, and some depression even

Vyvanse side effects/anyone had issues?
Please help. I'm a basket case right now. My son just turned 14 last week, diagnosed with inattention type ADHD a year ago. I was homeschooling him at the time, we didn't start meds. He returned to traditional school, we started Ritalin, it was a fail. It made him nervous and jittery. Failing school,

New to the group.
Hi, new to the group. My 10 year old was diagnosed last year with ADHA. We are currently have her on Vyvanse. Works really great but effects her appetite, she not a good eater anyway. She always lose weight during the school year. Anybody on a different medication that doesn't effect weight?

Vyvanse working well
I wanted to post an update on my 7-year-old son Luke who started taking Vyvanse in early December. I'm happy to report that this medication seems to be working well and we even increased his dosage from 10 mg. to 20 mg. The experience with this drug is so much better than Focalin, which made him withdrawn

Addicted to my medication
I am new to this so I hope I do this right! I was diagnosed with ADHD at the beginning of my freshman year in college last year. They put me on methylphenidate and before I knew it, 60 pills were going missing every 2-3 days. Of course it didn't happen at first, and it took me a year to get to this point

Vyvanse (Thoughts?)
My son (5th grader) will be taking Vyvanse for the first time tomorrow. I have so many thoughts crossing my mind. I’m terrified of seeing him go through a change. He’s such a happy boy with a beautiful heart. He just has a hard time focusing in class. Any thoughts on this med?? Any words of wisdom??

Minimal side effects?
We are in the process of finding the right medication for my 7 year old son recently diagnosed with ADHD. We tried Focalin and it made him very withdrawn and somewhat depressed. We are about to start Vyvanse so we'll see how that works. I'm very concerned about how these drugs affect a child's personality

Vyvanse
My 7-year-old son was recently diagnosed with ADHD. We started him on Focalin last week and it completely changed his personality. Made him withdrawn, irritable and slightly depressed. Other people noticed the change in him. This is obviously not what we wanted. We want to help him get his impulsive
