[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 338180"] Susie - wow, some powerful statements. First of all I would like to make clear that I PUT his VYVANSE out for him every single day. I PLEAD with him to take it every single day...He refuses. Early in the school year I mentioned on here about maybe putting it in his breakfast or something and boy did I hear an ear ful. It is HIS choice. I try to get him to take it just as the DOCTOR INSTRUCTED. But HE refuses. He doesn't like the way vyvanse makes him feel. It PUTS HIM TO SLEEP. As did Adderall. I take his medications out and I hand them to him every single morning. What do you do when they refuse?? There has NOT been a stimulant that he has reacted positive to. None, and we have tried a lot. So please do not assume I am NOT properly medicating him. I am doing exactly what the doctor tells me.
