I'm becoming more frustrated with my difficult child medications. He was on adderall for two years. He's been on Vyvanse for two months. It works pretty good on the inattention but he is extremely difficult now.
He still has his days where he doesn't quite get all of his school work done but his grades are improving. He exhibits aspergers. has for awhile. He's going to be tested but his behavior now driving me nuts.
One minute he's fine the next he's unresponsive and ready to have a crying session. His peditrician is willing to change his medications/dosage after a period of time. The problem is until testing later this month is it better to deal with the emotional and try behavior modification or complain about the medicine?
He's only tried these two medications.
He started on Adderall XR 15 mg then after a year upped to 20 mg.
Then he tried Vyvanse 30 mg. That DIDN'T PHASE HIM...so they changed him to 50 mg.
Any ideas?
