[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 548862, member: 11791"] I'd say try switching stims... from the formal drug names, Vyvance would be more related to Dexedrine. Dexedrine is very different than Concerta and other methylphenedate-based medications, but still a stimulant. We've used both. Also, if you're starting over anyway, start with the short-acting form. It wears off faster so if it causes problems, she doesn't have to live with them all day. This approach seems to work for all of the stims. Because it doesn't build up in the system, you can usually adjust the dose every other day. If you have a good psychiatrist, you can probably find the right combo in under 2 weeks. [/QUOTE]
