Any adults on Vyvanse? - ADD / ADHD Message Board

I know this is a fairly new medicine. My dr just prescribed it for ADD in myself, not my child. The website for it is geared toward it being for children. I'd like to hear about experiences with it in adults. My dr just diagnosed me ADD (on top of my other diagnoses). Thanks in advance!

Anyone??? I'd really love to hear how well it worked for you. Any side effects, experiences, etc. Thanks in advance!

My doctor added this med to a lower dose of effexor today and was wondering the same thing!? It's gotta be for marketing reasons since it's so new. How is it so far?

Thanks for your response! I was beginning to think I am the only adult on this stuff.

So far so good. No side effects that I can tell. It seems to be helping some but not quite as much as I'd hoped. My dr did put me on the lowest dosage so we can go up from there. We'll see. Please do post if you have any weird side effects. I'm always anxious to try any new medications.

Good luck with yours!

haha well that's great

[removed] I'm sure it'll gain popularity in the fall. It's still in clinical trials for adults, but with the consent of a good doc they can try it on ya. Well it's only my 3rd day, and even on 30mg I actually feel a difference. I'm def not as restless and can actually sit still and focus! Train of thought is a lot longer and the med does work for a long time. I'm thinking it will become a hit also because of the less risk of abuse. Which does a bring a neg, because it's ingested through the intestines, it caused bloatiness the first couple of days, but really that's it.

I hope the best for ya.
