[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 279426, member: 7371"] Burndoubt, Vyvanse has been very effective in helping difficult child focus at school. I give it to him when he first gets up (around 6:30 or 7), and it starts to wear off around 6 p.m., so then I give him 10 mg of methylphenidate (generic of Ritalin). We tried Concerta, which only seemed to last until 2 or 3 p.m. difficult child says he feels better on the Vyvanse too. He's never had hyperactivity issues, but impulse control is a [I]big[/I] issue. When I hear the tone of voice (and the vloume!) change early in the evening, it's a reminder that it's time for medications. Now there's a different kind of biological clock -- LOL! Sorry for not remembering, but who's prescribing the medications now? Our psychiatrist had a 2-3 month wait too, but therapist called in a favor and got difficult child an appointment in about a month. psychiatrist is very thorough, and on the conservative side when it comes to medications. Hope your day went better! Grace [/QUOTE]
