[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 160219, member: 1498"] The recommended dose of Vyvanse is 30 mg, though the maximum is 70 mg. Your son is taking a relatively high dose of a stimulant, a class of drugs which is well known for causing or worsening anxiety. Whenever there is high anxiety and a stimulant in place, you have to weigh the risks vs benefits of taking the drugs. Generally speaking, adding additional drugs to counter the psychiatric adverse reaction works for a very short time, if at all. You may be looking the wrong way at the structure thing. Perhaps he'd do better with a more relaxed, less structure environment. Some people, including difficult child, find structure very stressful which increases anxiety. [/QUOTE]
