Re: Vyvanse and grouchiness (and intro)

[Grayden]

Mike,

I’ve taken nearly all of the meds in my quest for the ‘right’ one. My son and I are on Vyvanse now and while we have not lashed out in the manner you described, I have noticed that Vyvanse is shorter acting and both my son and I seem more irritable/short-tempered and more prone to say something rude or unthoughtful. I would urge you try the different meds per your physician. I understand from my pharmacist that Adderal XR, Concerta and Focalin (? Focalin was useless for my son, why? I guess everyone’s metabolism is different…) are the top prescribed meds – with Vyvanse quickly gaining in popularity. Do titrate up the dosages to an effective level. I may go back to Concerta as I always felt energized and positive and productive….but hopelessly put off certain things, which is what I was hoping a med could correct, I guess.

Take care and report back.
