    Thankfully for us Vyvanse is covered under our health care.

    I’m not sure he would go on Adderall, at our CHADD group there is a lady on Adderall and she seems out of it all the time, not to mention super fidgety.  The psychologist he was seeing also commented that Adderall was not a great drug to be on because of its side effects.  I’ve done some research as well on it and am hoping to find something else for him.

    Im going to ask him to go back on a lower dose of Vyvanse and take the Intuniv, and perhaps a Dexedrine of needed in in the evenings.  I’ll keep you posted!!

    I just found this site today and have been reading like crazy.

    Amy:  Can I ask what dosage of Vyvanse you are on?  Did you find the coming off of Vyvanse cause mood swings or anger issues which the Intuniv worked for?  This is a new drug in Canada and I am trying to find out as much as I can about it.

    My boyfriend was on 70 mg of Vyvanse.  It seemed to work really well for him, however when he came down he had so much anger.  He recognized it and has switch to Concerta.  The anger is still there and we don’t think the Concerta works as well.  When you were on 60mg, did you have any anger or irritability outbursts?  There is a new drug called Intuniv (non-stimulant) I have been researching and seems like it helps with the anger and frustration.  Was thinking to have him go back to Vyvanse and take Intuniv with it.
