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 The experience with this drug is so much better than Focalin, which made him withdrawn

New with 13 yr old daughter
My daughter is 13. She was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago. I don't know what to do. She is on Vyvanse 30mg and has been for almost a year. She had to be put on an appetite stimulant due to weight loss. She's defiant and clueless and does stuff without thinking of the consequences. What do other

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 We tried Focalin and it made him very withdrawn and somewhat depressed.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

Similar Expeeience
My 8 year old granddaughter was prescribed a 30 mg dose of Vyvanse and experienced similar behavior changes after one dose. I stopped the drug and asked for a 10 mg dose after consulting with pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and nurses. When the prescriber would only decrease the dose to 20 mg, I

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 Made him withdrawn, irritable and slightly depressed.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

Medication advice
Hi - I'm new here. Struggling with my adult son's ADD. Has anyone had luck with non-stimulant meds? Like Wellbutrin? Vyvanse turns my son into a different person and we are looking at options. I appreciate any feedback you may have.

Vyvanse- daughter will not swallow pills....
Hi, anyone have the issue of your child not swallowing pills. What could I pour the vyvanse capsule into? She doesn't eat yogurt or applesauce. Not sure if I put it into her orange juice or just into some water mix it into a medicine cup and have her take it. We are starting the medication tomorrow .

My 13 year old son has ADHD. I have been really struggling lately with him. I know everyday is a struggle for him but the start of 8th grade has been nothing but a nightmare so far. It seems everyday there is some new issue, dilemma or thing that has happened or ends up happening. Everyday this happens

Trying meds for the first time, Vyvanse, 7yr old boy. Need some positive feedback back. This is step is terrifying.
Terrified. I over think everything. My baby is 7years old and has been diagnosed with Extreme ADHD. Daily struggle, school, peers, everyday life. We've tried and struggled for 2 years to get him successful at school and after school. Finally, sphycologist informed me he would not be successful or use

ADHD and trying for children
I'm now on 30mg of
Elvanse
, which helps me so much with my day to day. It completely eradicates the brain fog and I now have a chance of paying attention in meetings.

15 year old daughter with ADHD
Hello, My 15 year old was diagnosed 3 years ago and at that time we decided to try Neuro feedback. It worked for a while but now she was really struggling and we decided to put on Vyvanse 20 mg to start. She is very thin and now the Dr. wants to add Remeron. We moved her up to 30 mg today and she
