Lisdexamfetamine for ADHD "First, diagnosis is mild ADHD. 11 years old. 50 mg. Our experience with my son and Vyvanse. He was on this medication for approximately 9 months. For the first few weeks, he was sort of hyperfocused and had difficulty with transitioning from a task if he was fixated on it. He transitioned well to middle school and achieved great grades. However, he lost a lot of weight, about 15 lbs. He had horrible insomnia. He slowly became very emotional and depressed in the afternoons and evenings. We decided to stop the medication. Within weeks, he was back to himself, and his doctor advised him to stay off the medication."

For ADHD "I did not find that this medication helped my combined/mixed ADHD symptoms. The main symptom was (a) headache and (b) it kept me awake for over 15 hours, causing insomnia (meaning that I could not sleep at bedtime). This threw off my sleep cycle. :("
