cpt--what specifically are you scared of with vyvanse--my daughter was on adderall xr as you emerald and it worked well for her--but wore off early--her psychiatrist suggested this change just a couple months back as she is a junior and has real need to stay focused til later in the day and I was informed Vyvanse was designed to do this. (I had my daughter checked out by a cardiologist prior to starting any meds as I was concerned about issues with stimulants and the heart--they are now recommending this across the board as kids can have an underlying heart condition and w the meds it would be dangerous) I have talked w my daughter about meds and drinking etc. she at this point is open with me and her maturing has helped her see some of her unique needs. I agree w all--our kids need addl support and monitoring as they step out on their own...
