[QUOTE="gadawg27, post: 324602, member: 8308"] Rachel, Yes, we have seen MAJOR changes since starting Vyvanse, but the smallest dose (20mg) ended up being too much. He had all the negative emotions to the 10th power, but no positives...his reaction to anything fun or exciting was totally flat. He was MUCH more moody and rude, so if your dose is too high it might not help much! Not even a trip to the toy store, visit with Santa, or winning a medal at his wrestling tournament brought out real smiles...he barely laughed for 7 straight days...my fun-loving guy had disappeared inside this moody, irrational, easily irritated little being. The doctor wanted us to try a full 2 weeks before we changed medications or doseage, but by day 8 I had enough and gave him just half a dose (I open the capsule and pour it into 4 oz of water and just give him 2 oz). HOLY COW! Not only did I get my boy back, but a much calmer, happier, and more easy going version! Last week was his first week back at school, and the first week EVER that he pulled no discipline cards. He was so proud of himself and so were we...we had to hit up Pizza Hut to celebrate. :) How has your child been doing on Vyvanse? Janet, My husband is that way too...thank goodness for DVR and hard labor. LOL [/QUOTE]
