Vyvanse has been a wonder medication for our son.

Thanks for sharing your experience as an adult.
There are sites that simulate for us “normal” folks what it is like to be ADHD- God Bless!

In the beginning I asked my pediatrician if putting our son on medication would lead him to get addicted to his ADHD meds-she said “no, but he may get addicted to being able to act normally”.

I never forgot that.

The Vyvanse is doing a better job than adderall or strattera ever did. I also addressed my doctor about dependence. He said as long as I take them as prescribed, no problem.

Over time, the body becomes accustomed to the meds, and higher doses may be required at some time in the future. For that reason, I take "holidays" where I will go from 2-3 days to a week with no meds. When I start back, they seem to work better for some time. It also reassures me that there is no dependency.

Where can I find the ADD simulation website? I'd like to see that.
