I've been looking back through the posts and found little information on Vyvanse. I know it's really new but I thought I'd see if anyone has had any luck with it.
My sons therapist started him on it - took his first pill today. The therapist said he's seen amazing results with it. He knew about it a couple of months ago but wouldn't let us try it until he knew how it would work. So, now we try it. We were going to need to adjust meds anyway - the meds my son were on weren't holding.
I'm not too worried about side effects - the therapist said it's similar family of Adderal XR, which is what my son was taking, so there shouldn't be much for him to adjust to.
It "sounds" like a great new med but I'm not holding my breathe - we've tried those before and they didn't work as well as the Adderal. Stattera made him sick to his stomach - Daytrana wouldn't stay on his body - that type of thing.
Anyway, if anyone has had any experience with it, please let me know.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
