"My 10yr old son has been on Vyvanse for 1.5yrs. Worked GREAT in the beginning. Grades, handwriting, organization and attitude improved. I worry about long term effects. I just recently noticed a change in his behavior. Getting grouchy, irritable, not focusing & his grades are falling. I give him "breaks" during x-mas vacation & summer. However he has side affects from getting off & getting back on that are scary. He starts hallucinating & wants to hurt himself. Its been 2.5mos since he has been back on after summer break. It just doesn't seem to be working like it did before. I am trying to adjust his dose while working with his Doctor, but I don't like the effects. I would love to take him off for good but know he would struggle even more in school."
