[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 610315, member: 1024"] When Missy was 6 or 7, she was placed on Concerta with disastrous effects. I refused to put her on any stims until her aggression was a little more under control. Once she was fairly stabilized and on the right medications for seizures and the mood disorder (same medications for both diagnosis), we were able to put her on Adderall, which was very effective, but this was not until she was about 11. psychiatrist decided to put her on Vyvanse this summer, because Missy said the Adderall seemed to wear off early. We have had very good results with it, but the medication is super expensive and ins only covered a small portion, so the out of pocket is $75 a month. Check with ins company to see how much they will cover. The maker does provide a 6 month coupon, but I'm getting to that 6 month mark in a couple months. The one thing about the adhd medications is that you will usually know fairly quickly if they are working or not and do not take several weeks to build up in the system. If they aren't working, you can take them off and you have the option of trying something else or nothing at all. [/QUOTE]
