easy child/difficult child is doing wonderfully on the Trileptal for the mood disorder but the last time we saw the psychiatrist she decreased his adhd medication Vyvanse from 70 to 40 mg. He was ok at first but this past week it's become clear that he's having an issue staying focused. He's having problems at school in the afternoons bc he can't concentrate and last night it took him 5.5 hours to do spelling homework that should have taken an hour. So I'm calling the psychiatrist this morning and asking if its ok to put him back on the 70 mg Vyvanse dose. It's only been about two weeks since the medication change so he shouldn't have a problem going back up to 70. I'm just frustrated bc while his moods have gotten better he's now struggling to focus and afternoons/evenings are worse than they have been in a long time.
