FYI - I just recently stopped taking Vyvanse. I was more prone to UTIs, which caused me to get thrush while on antibiotics (I am allergic to penicillin), and then I had other issues, all related to the bladder. I was on 50mg.
It worked for me, other than the physical side effects. Though, as with most ADHD meds, I did experience a "crash" around 2-3pm. It did not affect my normal "emotions" (you could say that I am part of that Gifted with Overexcitabilities crowd). So I wouldn't be quick to blame a tantrum as a side effect.
I personally miss it though - says the mom who is slowly gaining a few pounds back.
