Suggest Remedy For Aggression In A Child Who Takes Vyvanse

My son who is 13yrs old has been on Vyvanse 20mg for a few months. He recently started track and this past weekend he had a Saturday teach meet which I gave him his medicine before his meet. He became very emotional and aggravated. To the point he no longer wanted to run and found him in tears on several occasions for no reason at all. PLEASE ADVISE

Pediatrician 's  Response
Vynase will cause anxiety as side effect...it also causes irritability...so it might be a cause for your son's behaviour... Check for his dose if it is adequate for weight...if it is excess ' you may have to reduce the dose....otherwise it will settle on its own..
