Is Vyvanse effective for ADHD?
Yes. Vyvanse has been clinically proven to be effective in treating individuals with inattention or hyperactive subtypes of ADHD. Vyvanse is the brand name for lisdexamfetamine; this is a pro-drug for dextroamphetamine. Dextroamphetamine has been used for years in treatment of ADHD. Vyvanse is only digestable through the liver which allows the drug to last longer (providing more hours through the day) and come on smoother (which makes it less abusable).
Why is a psychiatric assessment required when trying to determine if a child has ADHD?
mental disorders such as depression and anxiety disorder can cause symptoms similar to ADHD. A complete and comprehensive psychiatric assessment is critical to differentiate ADHD from other possible mood and behavioral disorders
Is dextroamphetimine the same thing as Vyvance?

What does Vyvanse do?
This depends if you have ADHD or not. If you do have ADHD, it will calm you down, and it will be prescribed to you. If you do not have ADHD it will make you hyper, jittery, nervous, and sometimes a bit scary. It will NOT be prescribed if you don't have ADHD. In any case, you will stop eating or sleeping, and easily become addicted to it.
Who should take Vyvanse?
people with ADHD or ADD.... not retards who think they have add or adhd just because they are lazy. ADD IS REAL. but too many people think they have it when they do not. LONG LIVE THE KING WITH ADHD
If you have good response to Vyvanse does it mean you do have Adult ADHD?
No; Vyvanse contains lisdextafetamine which is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine. Amphetamines will cause a "good response" or increased feelings of well-being and focus in almost all individuals who consume it. It does not indicate that you have ADHD. Vyvanse is addictive and should be used cautiously, as it is a scheduled II drug that caries penalties for consumption without a prescription.
Your daughter has ADHD and bipolar she is on 40mg of Vyvanse and 12mg serequel all the sudden she is behaving strange what are some other options besides serequel?
Let me begin by saying that I hope your daughter is being followed by a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner that specializes in working with children. I am not a doctor, however I have worked with individuals, of all ages, with a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. A diagnosis of bipolar disorder and ADHD is not uncommon, but it can be difficult to treat, because many medications used to treat ADHD can trigger Bipolar Mania. I would not be surprised if the vyvanse triggers symptoms of mania at various times of the year. I would continue taking seroquel, discontinue the vyvanse, and start Straterra. Honestly, (again, I am not a physician) the only ADHD med that I trust, with an individual who has Bipolar, is Straterra. Straterra is not typically prescribed to children, however it is the only medication that treats ADHD which is not a stimulant. Check out my previous post about Bipolar Treatments: What are effective treatments for bipolar disorder Be well.
