Hi
My 12 year old son was switched to Vyanse. He's been on it for about 6 months. His dose was upped to 40mg. This seemed to work for a while. He got sick with flu and misse about 8 days of school. During this time he had to take antibiotics. I stopped the Vyanse abruptly so he didn't have to take it at the same time as antibiotics. By the end of the week, when his flu was better, antibiotics finished, I gave him his 40mg dose. His mood had changed by end of week also. He came to me telling me how he felt bad about different things(cursing, being disrespectful in the past, etc) so I made nothing of it. Then he started asking if God forgives and started researching the internet about sin, etc. He confessed a few things to me and we dealt with it. he continued to feel bad, and told me things like "How do you keep from thinking bad thoughts" "I try to stop but I'm afraid" or "I know I would never do it, but I'm thinking about bad things" I'm thinking-;where the hell is this coming from?" I know my son. This is the kid who is usually silly, rambunctious likes to laugh and play. I have also noticed that he has been twisting his hair. This started before, but I just thought it was a habit, but maybe its something caused by too much meds.? anyone have experience like this? I am thinking of going back to the Concerta. I'd rather deal with hyper afternoons than anxiety filled child.
