[|Human|] My daughter has been taking vyvanse for 3 yrs to treat ADHD . (30 mg per day) She is experiencing major depression , aggression and anger issues, anxiety, major back and hip problem. From the research I ve done, it looks like these symptoms are likely vyvanse related. What is the best and safest way to wean a teenager off of vyvanse?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. It is not advisable to make treatment decisions without a proper evaluation and advise of a doctor. Though Vyvanse has been known to cause psychological side effects, you can never be sure if her depression and anxiety are co-existing or underlying her other ADHD symptoms. Moreover, stopping Vyvanse can lead to an increase of her ADHD symptoms and this issue needs to né tackled. So, I would advise you to arrange for a consultation with a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and planning further treatment options. Wish you all the best. -
