"i&#039;m 29. i was first diagnosed when i was in the second grade. i first started being medicated when i was 11. doctors tried ritalin and i was maxed out then i was switched to desoxyn then adderall as a pre-teen then strattera and effexer. i stopped taking my meds then after my father passed away i lost it and my mother had heard about new miracle adhd medicine. she begged me to talk to my therapist about it. my therapist was on board as well so i mentioned it to my psych. i have been taking vyvanse for 4 years. i wish it was around when i was a child. growing up wouldn&#039;t have been so hard. thank you so very much vyvanse."
