[quote=Anonymous]I would give it time. It's hard to draw conclusions about an ADHD medication in a day or two, or even a week. It could be the time at which she started to try to write the English paper -- Vyvanse is long-acting but it works in an arc, so the later in the day it is, the less medication you have in your system. Also, while the manufacturer of Vyvanse says it can last up to 13 hours, that's highly variable. Some kids metabolize the medication quicker than others. DS, 8, takes Vyvanse. It gets him through the school day and a bit beyond. We're about to start a short-acting dose in the late afternoon of Dextroamphetamine to help with homework issues. Also, Vyvanse may just not be the right medication. Kids' reactions to ADHD meds also vary a lot. Some kids do better on ritalin-based meds, others like our DS do better on the amphetamine-based ones. Good luck![/quote]
