[QUOTE="jannie, post: 144825, member: 2074"] My son is taking Vyvanse in order to treat ADHD (attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity) Vyvanse is a stimulant; it is made by the same manufacturer as Adderall. It is used to treat adhd symptoms. I see in your signature that your difficult child has bipolar issues....Please be aware that stimulant medications can make bipolar symptoms worse. What kind of specialist diagnosed your child? How long has your child been taking Vyvanse? What is his dosage? Do you feel his symptoms have been worse since starting the stimulant? Many children become more agressive and irritable when taking stimulants. If this is happening you must contact your doctor and let him know his sypmtoms are worse.... Have you ever read the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene? Many many people recommend this book to help parents understand and deal with the daily struggles of raising challenging children. I highly recommend this book. Please look in the Early Childhood section forum for the post regarding adapting The Explosive Child for younger kids. Good Luck and welcome. I'm sure others will come along with more ideas and suggestions. [/QUOTE]
