[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 172618, member: 2322"] Hi LInda, for what its worth, I knew in difficult child 2 that stims were not for him within the day. I suggest also lowest dose, don't go for the XR version until you trial the regular version first. With difficult child 1 stimulants have made a huge difference but he is also most clearly the most depressed and anxious, probably not truly ADHD but go figure they have a positive benefit even at a low dose. also for what's it worth, my psychiatrist said she hasn't seen a lot of good reports on Vyvanse so that may not be a good one to start with. difficult child 2 had the most luck with Focalin (Ritalin and Adderall made him hyper whiny) but it didn't really help and gave him tics so we d/c it. good luck. difficult child 1 did get more aggressive before he was on mood stabilizers, we PRN'd with Risperdal until we got things sorted out.
