I can’t take it anymore :(
My son 14, Adhd , currently takes
Vyvanse
20mg/ Guanfacine 2mg combo . We started in the mid December. It looked like finally we found the right medication, but we didn’t. He became upset, angry, mean and disrespectful.

New here-Vyvanse works wonders for binge eating but does NOTHING for focus (30mg to 60mg over 10 weeks) also on Wellbutrin 300mg
I started on Wellbutrin (150mg) and
Vyvanse
(30mg) in mid-October. Wellbutrin was up'd to 300mg after one month, and I'm not sure that's working really well either at this point.

How to convince a ADHD/ODD 10 yr old to take his medication and go to therapy
(he is taking
Vyvanse
, guanfacine). His psychiatrist believes that he would benefit from a mood stabilizer but he refuses to take a third medication. Any advice on how to work through this resistance to behavioral therapy and medication.

Can Stimulants (adhd) mask hypothyroidism?
I am on a drug known as Elvanse for ADHD. It is amphetamine based. Could it cause my TSH levels to appear lower than they actually are. TSH is 2.7.

First day on Vyvanse.
I am on 40 mg. First day I could tell a huge difference. Today, second day, I can't even tell I took the medication. Is this normal?

However started on
Vyvanse

Vyvanse doesnt work everytime. Just me?
I recently got put on
vyvanse
for the first time in my life. I have always had ADHD but managed just fine up until graduate school. I have found that sometimes
vyvanse
works WONDERFULLY (30mg) but sometimes it doesnt work at all! Is this just me? Does any one else experience this?

Am I the only one? I've become the type of parent that I said I've never become! Argh!
We tried methylphenidate and
Vyvanse
, but both made him very sick and didn't help. he is now in the 9th grade and doing pretty decent for the most part, but missing assignments and things like that. He recently had a 504 put in place and I hope that helps. Well, about that parent thing.

Feeling frustrated
Just recently my 5 yr old was put on
vyvanse
. At home he seems better focused. At school he is not. Won't do what teacher asks. Has a wetting accident almost every day.

ADHD "Cured"
I had taken
Vyvanse
for a few weeks with 0 results, may as well have been placebo.

Vyvanse too subtle?
I don't take anything but the
vyvanse
. Is the drug designed to feel like a mild tweak of the condition. I am trying to determine if its working or not. I have zero side effects, my appetite's not been reduced, I can fall asleep at 10 p.m.

Stimulant Rollercoaster
I then tried
Vyvanse
it worked great for a few days to a week then I crippled up with anxiety. I then tried Adderall, same thing it worked for a few days and I crippled up with anxiety as well, also extremely hyper focused. I then got put on Biphentin. It worked but then the same crap happened.

Stims combination.
I'm on
vyvanse
, but it wears off after 5-6 hours. Given that I have 10 hours shift my doctor wants to give me a booster but he wasn't sure which one. He said that strattera might be a good option. Has anybody tried strattera as a booster with
vyvanse
?

A poem from a teenager about the struggles of their ADD
I am an 18 year old college student who was diagnosed with ADD in fourth grade, since then I have taken 5 different medications (in groupings of about four years for three of those medications and the other two as afternoon boosters for the first two four year periods) and am currently taking

New to elvanse/vyvanse and need huge dose any advice about mixing it with other meds for depression and why I only get 4 hours effect ?
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.
