      Vyvanse Working / Worked
      This is a new drug just approved this past july. It is for ADHD and it is definately working...His teacher says it is like a 360 with him. and it also helps the behavior too. I think he needs a little higher dose but I am definetly happy with it.

      What a great drug!!! The teacher said it is like night and day from last year!!! Only problem with AS children on ADHD meds is it makes them focus on other things as well. Such as Nail chewing, picking at his skin..any little habits can become magnified.
