well i think its very likely because of my own fault I never took seriously side affects of the medications I've taken I mean I never really thought it throw I always just told the doctor the difference I felt and took whatever he changed it to. Well there are some things I'm starting to think that some things that I thought were just me might have been side affects of medication like anxiety and appetite loss. Well right now I take 90 mg of concerta I can deal with the side effects though my doctor suggested switching to vyvanse over christmas break. The side effects are quite more physical than I'm use to puking, blurred vision, skin rash maybe I'm freaking out over nothing but if anyone takes vyvanse could tell me how it helps them with ADHD also if anyone knows how likely these really are I'd appreciate it. Another question it says not to take it with depression or a teenager with severe anxiety I do believe I am mildly depressed and I haven't been diagnosed but am planning to discuss the possibility of anxiety problems with my doctor at my next appointment. I have many symptoms and took a the anxiety tast here and my score was that of someone with severe anxiety. So when I next see my doctor I will bring this up but if I still end up with the option of switching I would like to know if it will actually help. I've built up on concerta it works but we're still adjusting dosages so I don't want to have lost my build up of concerta in my system just to find out Vyvanse is not for me so if anyone have any advice from personal experience would be loved I've never really before had the choice to meet others who take medication and ask how it has helped or hurt them and I would very much like to try that though any advice for this is welcome

I'm going to ask a few more questions before responding to make sure I understand your situation.

How long have you been taking the Concerta?

Just to clarify, these are the side effects you are now having?
-Appetite loss
-Anxiety
-Puking
-Blurred vision
-Skin rash

Have you been having all of those side effects the entire time you've taken the Concerta or just at the higher doses? (I'm assuming you didn't start at 90 mg/day.)

Are you taking any other medications?

Looking forward to your answers.
