ADHD
"Our son was diagnosed with ADD when he was in grade 5-he was started on vyvanse and after a few months and a dose increase developed psychotic episodes.  This experience scared the life out of me so we stopped the drug and revisited pharmaceuticals with our pediatrician.

She suggested Intuniv and we tried it. 

Our son has been on the drug now for almost 4 years-he is on the max dose for his age (3 mg) (?) and I honestly can&#039;t see if there is a difference.  He has had no visible side effects-nothing like I have been reading about above. If anything he has put on weight (it is not a stimulant).

We are going to try weaning him off in the next few months to see if there is a difference in schoolwork and to see if the med is really working."
