Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking Buprion Or Vyvanse For ADHD?
Yes my grandson is on meds for a adhd and odd and I am very concerned of the side effects. He is taking buprion, vyvanse, d-Amphetamine, and resperdone. He complains to me about headaches,shortchanged,his bones hurting, and he has little appetite most times and is very skinny. I truly feel he should be on some other safer meds. How can I address these problems to my daughter sensitively,so that she can address his psychiatrist with these concerns to so he sees these side effects and changes his meds.
Your grandson is being treated by a Psychiatrist, an expert in the treatment of ADD and ODD, As Vyvanse is an amphetamine, I do not think he is taking another amphetamine also. Amphetamines can cause headaches and loss of appetite. Perhaps you can ask your daughter to let you accompany her to his next appointment so you can not only bring up these concerns to the doctor but also better understand his needs and treatment decisions.
