My six year old ds, is taking vyvanse. He is not doing well. In the last 5 minutes he called me a dumbass, also his 3 year old brother. He told me I was stupid, and etc. He thinks he is everyones boss in this house. He is being so vindictive and awful. This week, I have been a wreck. I can't even controll him, he is off the walls. It was bad before, but now its worse. I assumed the meds were going to help this.........YEAH RIGHT. I am ready to loose my mind. He is six and he trumps me. This just isn't right. I can't wait to go shopping in a while to get away. He spent the night at his nana's last night per my request, and as soon as he left it was quite and peaceful. His little brother could relax without having his big brother fighting with him every few seconds. Till he got home this morning, it was quite, then as soon as he walked into the door, it started. yelling, screaming, fighting, and lost of name calling. His doctor I work with I can't even talk to, till next Thursday, what do i do? HELP?
you may want to stop his meds until you can talk to the doctor. They seem to be mkaing him more angry.I would stop the meds. Has he been evaluated for Comorbids? I know how you feel! Right now my daughter is off of meds and very out of control. I really effects the whole family dynamics. The past 2 years were wonderful -- we found the right med for her (focalin short acting). It worked like a charm, we really saw dramatic results. Unfortunately, she developed tics and had to go off the meds. After a tearful call to the doctor, he agreed to put her back on another stim. 2 meds later we still haven't found an effective one so we're dealing with the behaviors at home. She was also kicked out of her ballet class because she was too disruptive and unsafe (parents were complaining). I'm starting to think that tics aren't as bad as her behavior right now!! Edbson: What is comorbids? I have never heard of this? i am intrigued........ Thanks!I would stop the meds, too. Waiting two weeks is for smaller issues like less appetite. His behavior should improve right away on the medication. The dose might be completely wrong, or, like others have said, he may need a different or secondary diagnosis before you find the correct medication for him.
