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 ?

psychiatrist dealing with ADHD
Idk if
Vyvanse
is causing her to have more anxiety or not- Maybe she needs a new medication. I just don't know where to get the right help for her. Our pediatrician is great, but I would like more expertise. Any suggestions?

Teenage son with ADD
He has been on
Vyvanse
which we are trying to find the right dosage now. Driving has been ok but he is not consistent with his responsibilities. Sometimes he stays on task & then other times he does what he wants to do.

Lost and Scared
I’ve tried concerta, retlin and
Vyvanse
recently. Concerta was helpful in my childhood but I believe I caused depression. I’m currently on
Vyvanse
30 which isn’t helping me focus. I’m so inattentive & easily distracted.

ADHD and Depression
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 son back for a day!

19 year old daughter with ADHD and now anxiety
Her dr actually prescribed 2mg Guanfacine to take at night (she takes 60mg
Vyvanse
during the day). She just recently started taking the Guanfacine. She's not sure of any effects yet.

Acceptable side effects
We moved to
Vyvanse
this week. She is complaining about stomach cramping, she has no appetite and going to sleep is becoming impossible. So this one feels like a miss as well. I resisted medicating her and going through this process is heartbreaking.

Jobs that suit inattentive type
Adderall and
Vyvanse
had to many side affects such as anxiety and aggression. I’m in my mid fifties now struggling with menopause as well. What a disastrous combination. I’ve had three jobs in the past two years that I’ve quit due to anxiety.

Methylphenidate SR (extended release Ritalin) How long until I know if it works?
I started off by taking
Vyvanse
and worked all the way up to 70mg, I liked it. I never experienced euphoria on it. No bad side effects. However, I only got about 5ish hours out of it.

Guanfacine
My 14 year old hates his
Vyvanse
. He started off well with it, but lately he says that it makes him grumpy and sad, not to mention that he has no appetite (and he's very thin). I am wondering if anyone has any experience with Guanfacine (I think it's the generic for Intuitiv).

A little advice if poss.
Hi this is my first time on this group. 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. My

Medication vs no medication
Today is my 3rd day off my medication (
Vyvanse
40mg) in over 4 months. I used to work at a GYM and would workout 3-4 hrs a day 5 days a week which was enough to stimulate my brain and keep my ADHD at bay.

New here... Senior in high school | Vyvanse causing depression after 8 years
My son has been on
Vyvanse
(very low dose) for the past 8 years with little issues. He had a serious meltdown today. He is depressed, says the meds, while the help, make him feel "high" and he hates it. It also makes him angry and hopeless where it hasn't before.

Back home
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 hospitalization 3 months ago. PTSD continues to be present as well. I learned some new things while I was there.

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).

Who does med breaks?
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.
