"my 7 year old son has adhd. after years of struggling with adhd as a parent i decided to finally try medication for my son he was prescribed vyvanse. during the first month is was great he was finally able to focus in school and follow directions, i received  so much positive  feedback. starting on the second month i noticed he was sad all the time at first i dismissed it as maybe he was having a rough day, than it became two weeks and it really effected his mood. my son starting to not care in school, he would cry for any minor thing, he lost a lot of weight and overall i thought he was depressed. i brought it up to his therapists who recommended we immediately remove him off of it."
