He was only recently diagnosed with ADHD so this is our first experience with a stimulant for him.

Yes and no...
I took Vyvanse for a month. I personally did not care for it. I seemed to work alright for almost a week, but I became progressively more agitated and emotional. I also noted a severe decrease in efficacy and became unmotivated and "dazed".
I am trying not to discourage you in the slightest, since everyone's body reacts differently. In my case, I am a 30 year old female and have been on stimulant medication, with a breaks here and there, since 3rd grade. Although, I have heard more adverse reactions in relation to the adult population, I have seen a great deal more success regarding the adolescent population.
I hope you and your son figure out which medication is the best fit. Good luck to you both!
