"i was not officially diagnosed with add until i was 30yrs old. i have been on vyvanse for over 10 yrs now. i have had to increase my amount from 30 to 50 and have now been at 60 for over a year now. sometimes i feel it causes irritability, but other than that only dry mouth. it has definitely helped with my attention disorder. it initially made me lose 10lbs and then leveled out. i have always been athletic except when my chronic pain is too bad. my son has adhd and took concerts for about 2 yrs. it helped tremendously with his anger and outburst and his grades. i only wish that my parents had me tested when i was younger as we did for my son. it would have taken away a lot of heartache! my daughter never suffered thankfully."
