[QUOTE="Castle Queen, post: 633718, member: 15910"] I see your son's tried Adderall and Vyvanse...from what I hear they are similar. My difficult child didn't do at all well on Adderall but Vyvanse was a very good medication for him. It just didn't last as long as we needed it to, so for the expense we went back to generic Methylphenidate (ritalin). He never used the patch, largely due to the timing issue justour2boys brought up. Mornings were the absolute worst, we found that the ritalin got on board the fastest. Has your son tried that yet? If the patch doesn't work out, that might be another option. I believe recently they also came out with a liquid extended release medication, Quillivant. For some kids the long acting medications don't work as well, even though we'd like to not have to administer medications multiple times a day sometimes it really is best (my difficult child is a prime example of this) Another reason I wanted to reply to your post was to ask if your son has been tested for learning disabilities either in school or by a neuropsychologist. I apologize if this has already been asked & answered! I try to stay updated on the site but sometimes get swamped with work and home life. [/QUOTE]
