I am an adult with ADHD, but have never been on medication for it. I've always had a suspicion my 11 year old son has ADD, but not-so-much ADHD. I have spoken to his teachers over the years about it, and they never believed he had the disorder. However, last week, at his parent teacher conference, his teacher told us that he seems so distracted and that he has a difficult time focussing. I explained to her that I have ADHD, and that I really believe that he as ADD. After reviewing some things, she felt there's a good possibliity of it. Between her and the school's guidence counselor, they advised us to talk to my son's pediatrician because things could happen faster this way than through the IST program at school. My question is: The guidence counselor and her son both have ADHD and take Vyvanse. The Vyvanse website only discusses ADHD, not ADD. Does Vyvanse work for ADD, too? Will it stunt his growth? Would he be tired all of the time on it? I trust the guidence counselor and his teacher 110%, but didn't get a chance to ask them these questions. Any help would be appreciated.
