[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 206359, member: 2423"] Stimulants like Vyvanse work the very first day you give it, provided of course, it's the right medication and the right dose for that particular child. Stimulants are in and out of the system the same day. I've been told that kids who are quick to fly off the handle sometimes have cognitive impulsivity. Stimulants treat impulsivity (as well as inattention and hyperactivity), which is why you may be seeing a decrease in defiance and meltdowns. My son took Concerta, which also works for 10 to 12 hours, for 1.5 years, and I had no problem giving him a medication that lasted that long. It helped him focus in school and then it helped him focus on homework. While your difficult child may be too young for homework now, that day will soon be coming. In addition, Vyvanse may help him negotiate after-school activities and home life better. Glad to hear your positive news. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
