Abstract

Stimulants are the first line of therapy for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children 6 years and older. Vyvanse is a long acting prodrug stimulant with well-established safety, tolerability and efficacy, when compared to other stimulants such as amphetamine and methylphenidate, and non-stimulants such as atomoxetine, guanfacine, and clonidine. Treatment related adverse events for stimulant drugs in all age groups have been reported in great detail, but there is limited data available in the literature regarding withdrawal symptoms from acute cessation or dose reduction in children.
