ADHD
"I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid. I&#039;ve tried all sorts of medications, (two type of Adderall and I don&#039;t even remember what else). Around two years ago, my doctor decided to switch me to Vyvanse. It is effective, I won&#039;t lie, but the side effects make it less than desirable. I am a 17 year old on a 7 year old&#039;s dosage and it still causes me to have mood swings, become irritable and antisocial, and kills my appetite. If I happen to be stressed out, on my period, and on Vyvanse on the same time (both tantrums and objects will be thrown). I&#039;ve taken to using it on an as needed basis. It&#039;s not as effective this way, and my doctor doesn&#039;t like it, but at least I can balance academics and a social life this way."
