I am very over weight and wondered if there were any studies or experiences with the dosage in relation to the patients weight?
My son (19yrs) takes Vyvanse and he has lost weight. It has made him more out going. I only have good thing to say about it. I belive that it is important to get a doctor that will lession to you and that you need to tell the doctor what and how the drug makes you feel.
He has been on lots of different drugs at one time and now he has a good Dr. and he is only on 2 drugs.
