"our 8 yr old son was diagnosed with adhd in kindergarten.  we tried everything. we left no stone unturned.   we were referred to a great  psychiatrist who listened to our concerns and advised us to start him on vyvanse. he started in march 17.  to say it has been a miracle is an understatement.  while he is not yet a &quot;a&quot; student,  he can now work independently, is not as frustrated, his handwriting has improved.  his teachers are amazed at the turn around.  i am only writing a review because i had read all the blogs and was terrified to say the least.  this med so far has worked with only a few side effects that we are working on.ie;increased agitation when coming off of. his happiness and ability to learn is worth it"
