ADHD
"My son is 14 and has always been super sensitive to these meds- he was diagnosed at 6 ADHD. We started with concerta- he lost 11 lbs in 5 weeks. We switched to a slow release methylphenidate.  At Christmas, it was felt that maybe he needed something different- his last increase didn&#039;t seem to be helping. That&#039;s when we started vyvanse. I have seriously mixed feelings about this drug. There is some control of the hyperactivity component but he&#039;s grouchier, more argumentative and not really more productive. Is it age and adolescence?"
