I also don't have a child that is on Vyvanse, but I would never dream of putting my child on it either... I've read way too much about the bad side effects to even consider it. You can check out some of these listings at http://www.drugs.com/vyvanse.html (the same information that your pharmacist can give you when you get the drug). "Vyvanse is a central nervous system stimulant. It affects chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control." It's also kind of scary to me that it says that you should tell your doctor before using if you are taking one of many drugs including Vitamin C... so your daughter probably couldn't eat an orange (among most fruits with Vitamin C) or a multivitamin while taking Vyvanse.

If she is having trouble with ADD or ADHD, there have actually been a lot of studies that have shown that Fish Oil can help with ADD/ADHD. It seems too simple, and that may be one reason it wasn't really looked at closely for this, but I wasn't surprised it would help when I thought about it. The EPA and DHA in Fish Oil help with all sorts of things including heart health, skin health, and brain health. There was a good article at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/articl… that covers some of this as well.
Give it a try... it's economical, safe, and easy. Just make sure that the company you get it from uses Molecular Distillation because that's currently the only safe way to remove any trace contaminants of any heavy metals. Of course, if you aren't sure about the dosage or the benefits, you may want to consult with a holistic doctor, as they may have other additional options available to them.

There are also a lot of people who have found some relief from limiting sugar, artificial colors/flavorings, and going with less (or no) processed food to take away those possible causes as well. From research I've done, Fish Oil tends to help more, but both work even better together. Good luck and I hope I helped!
