Yes, that is exactly why I thought Vyvanse might be a good solution. After Vyvanse is metabolized, it is the same drug as dextroamphetamine, but yet it has very low addiction potential (and no street value either, because of this). So with Vyvanse you get the benefit of dextroamphetamine without the addiction risk. (No, I'm not a pharma rep for Shire! )

Let us know what your doc says, Calista.
