[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 548857, member: 6705"] For some kids, smaller doses are more effective. Vyvanse is a stimulant like Concerta - but it's not the same thing. Concerta is long-acting Ritalin - methylphenidate hydrochloride - while Vyvanse is lisdexamfetamine dimesylate. Regardless, they're similar in some ways. Jett was on Concerta. At 18mg it turned him into a mini-monster. So the doctor and bio upped the dose - a couple of times - when husband got custody we weaned him off because it was HORRIBLE for the poor kid. Interestingly, for Jett the biggest issue has been not the focus but interest. I'd say talk to the doctor and find out the lowest dose and start from there. [/QUOTE]
