[quote=Anonymous]I just had to take my almost 9 year old DS off his 20 mg dosage of Vyvanse due to sudden personality and almost psychotic behavior over the weekend. We meet with the doctor on Monday and we need to tease out if this is the medication or something else and the only way to do it is to be medication free for 2 weeks. This is causing him a lot of angst. He says he can't focus in school without it. I keep reminding him that he went for many years without medication and he will be okay for a few weeks. He just started medication in November even though we suspected for awhile. Not every child reacts the same way to a medication. I thought he was doing fine and this came on rapidly in the evening. Apparently it can be a side effect from "coming down" from the med. [/quote]
