Vyvanse Works For Adult ADD & ADHD
ByA new study was just released which documents that Vyvanse works for Adults with ADD and ADHD.
Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is a new medication for ADD and ADHD, which is currently approved for ADHD in children, aged 6-12.
Shire, the makers of Vyvanse, have applied to the FDA for approval for Vyvanse to be indicated in Adults.
This study documents that it works, and will hopefully help to make this medication more available to adults with ADD/ADHD.

Good day,
I’m 30 and i have ADHD, I have spent most of my life with out medication and i’m fine, a bit mad in the head but who it not these days.
I was put onto medication when i was a small child, and the only thing that happend was i became a Zombie, so my family stopped the drugs and i started Tie-Won-Do. which worked great.
i got out all my frustration and energy and i learned to focus.
Is your drug like Rittalin, or what ever it was call that they put me on?
Kind regards

Hello everyone,
I am 33 and have ADD. My 6 year old son was diagnosed last year with ADHD which lead to my diagnosis. Initially he was diagnosed with Sensory Integration Dysfunction at 2 years old. We have seen a couple different therapist since and both concluded that it is definately ADHD. My husband and I automatically decided that medication was not an option because we had heard all the horror stories about Ritalin and the like. He has progressively become harder and harder for us to “control” and almost failed kindergarten. Medication is now being considered. We spoke with our pediatrician and also with our primary care about different options. We have decided to try Vyvanse, but I am taking it first to see how it effects me. I took my first dose 30mg about a half hour ago and am REALLY hoping for good results. I would like to take the same meds as my son if possible so he doesn’t feel like he’s different and will hopefully be more willing to take meds if we’re in it together! I will post my experience with Vyvanse periodically. Good luck to all of you.

vyvanse not sure which dose works better yet 40 or 50mg. However,I suffer from major depression and panic disorder for years and am not sure what medications work best to get me motivated and feeling better. I currently take klonopin, prozac, zyprexa, soma, percocet and vyvanse-doing somewhat better but any other ideas would greatly be appreciated to tell my Dr.
Sincerely,
Sharon

Hello! I am now 26 and was just recently diagnosed with ADHD in December. First I tried Strattera, which I felt did nothing. Then I was put on Concerta and didn’t really have any success with that either. The day I went to the Doctors she checked my blood pressure and I had not taken the medicine for 5 days prior and my blood pressure was high. I have never had this problem before. I have not been as active in the last year as I used to be, but I would still like to consider myself a pretty healthy person. The Doctor then prescribed me Vyvanse 40mg, the first couple days it really felt like it was working but I was also drinking coffee in the morning with it. Now coffee has never actually done anything for me as far as energy goes until I took it while on ADHD medication. With the coffee, sometimes my chest would feel uncomfortable, it’s a feeling I really can’t describe. So, with that I started to really think about how much blood pressure got higher and about my heart. I started researching things to help lower your blood pressure, as I do not want to be on any other medications. I completely changed my diet around to include sprouted grains, fruits, vegetables, lean meat, organic skimmed milk and I also have been drinking apple cider vinegar mixes twice a day, because I read these things can help with high blood pressure. I am sure at my next appointment she will tell me my blood pressure is better, because I feel so much better myself. My question is though, if I maintain a lifestyle like this (including exercise) and continue to take the medication, can I avoid the effects stimulants can cause on your heart and blood pressure?
