[QUOTE="Burndoubt, post: 279319, member: 7493"] Thanks again, Grace. I saw your sig & read that your 15 year old difficult child is on 70mg of Vyvanse. Wow. We had ours on the highest dosage of Concerta, and he actually ASKED to be put on a higher dosage, since it had stopped working for him. Impressed the heck out of us. Anyway, the doctor moved him to 20, 30, then 40mg of the Vyvanse, and I thought that was a lot. Trying to get a psychiatrist to do some adjusting though- difficult child's fine during the day. However, from the time he hits the driveway, you never know what you'll get. During the day, impulse control isn't so much of a problem, and the hyperactivity is barely noticable. He likes that Vyvanse doesn't make him shake, too, which we're all happy about. But by 7pm, the impulse control is almost nonexistent. Has Vyvanse been working all day for your son, or is it wearing off by the evening? I've got calls into psychiatrists, but can't get in with anyone so far. Waiting lists are 2-3 months long! [/QUOTE]
