Both my husband and I resisted medication for a long time. We took him to a child psychologist for about 4 months before we finally broke down and decided to try them. He's been on the meds for almost 2 months now and we've only had to change dosage once. He started on Vyvanse 20mg and is now on Vyvanse 30mg. It's a HUGE difference. The child psychologist said that unless there's another big/bad change, he doesn't see any need for us to come back for a while.

I observed him in class this week, and holy cow, what a huge difference. He used to pay attention to only me and not focus on his work when I was in the classroom. This week he was completely focused on his school work.

It's been literally like night and day.

So far we haven't (knock on wood) have had any side effects. Once in a while he says he isn't hungry, but that's it.

Best of luck!
