My son is 5 years old and has been on several different Medications for ADHD he is talking Vyvanse 50 mg for the last 9 mouths. I;m fixing to take him off of all of it because the side effects are worse then the ADHD.. He is cranky, no appetite, sad, and very bad facial tics.. He pops his jaws all the time and clears his throat every 5 seconds this is just crazy and I cant take it anymore... My poor baby... I just cant do this to him anymore. I'm going all natural.. and changing his diet..

Please let me know how your son is doing after being off of Vyvanse since March. My son is 11 and is currently taking vyvanse 50 mg and has been for the past 2 years. We never had any problems other than him not eating lunch and being a little irritable after school, but recently he suddenly developed this eye blinking tic. I'm thinking its related to the medicine, and the soonest I can get him into the neurologist is Feb!! The medication has made a dramatic change for him, his grades went from failing to straight A's and he never gets in trouble at school any more, but if it's causing these facial tics I think he needs to come off it. I'd love to hear how your son is doing!
