My son has been taking Vyvanse for 1 year now. Since he has been on the medication he has lost weight, seems tuned out and very emotional. I big difference in his progress at school. Two months ago he was taking Vyvanse 30mg and now is is on 20mg. For the last three weeks he has been up at 3AM every night. I am cosidering taking him off the medication. How can this be done?
- Medications like Vynase need careful tapering; you should discuss with his doctor on the approach and duration of tapering - It is possible that the decrease in the dose from 30 to 20 mg, is causing these symptoms in your son
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
