[quote=Anonymous]I took my 14-year-old DD for an ADHD evaluation earlier this week. She has always had working memory, attention and some decision-making issues, but I was never convinced they added up to ADHD. Anyhow, the doctor was very quick to whip out her prescription pad for a prescription for Vyvanse. I decided it was worth a try.

So it's been two days and she says she feels no different. She was supposed to be working on an English essay yesterday for homework (about 10 hours into taking Vyvanse, so that may have something to do with it.) She spend about two hours looking over the book, finding a few quotes and produced one rambling paragraph that didn't even begin to address the topic. Nothing new there.

Is it too soon to tell if this drug might help her? She's taking 30 mg. Does she need a higher dose? I figure we'll try this for another week and then consult with the doctor. I wasn't expecting miracles, but the doctor even said that even if she doesn't have bonafide ADHD, it should help with her focus issues.

Any thoughts?[/quote]
