[QUOTE="jannie, post: 85915, member: 2074"] My 10 year old has been on it for the past four weeks and so far, I've been impressed. This is his first stimulant, but he's been on other medications (abilify, straterra, tenex, and zoloft). The lowest dosage is 30 mg. I'm opening up the pill and putting it into chocolate pudding...and pouring some out so as to not give the full dosage. I wanted to start out low do to side effects and family history of tics. I have not seen the negative rebound effect often seen around the 5:00 hour--and it does appear to be long acting as he's been able to do his homeowrk and practice his instrument in the evening....I've actaully had a few unsolicited compliments since starting the medication. Its' helping him with sustained attention, impulse control and activity level.....and his teacher has even noticed improvements with his writing--I will probably try the full dosage in the next few weeks. However, since it's new, the insucrance company/pharmacy is charging a premium. According to my drug plan I typically pay $5.00-$15.00 per perscription and this one costs $25.00. I'm quite pleased that we trialed Vyvanse and so it my son. [/QUOTE]
