Psychiatrist prescribed Vyvanse for DD (age 9 in two weeks) for ADHD-inattentive type since her anxiety now seems to be better controlled on Zoloft. She is having some impulse/attention issues, so we are supposed to try a small dose 10-20mg.

Any real-life experience here. I'm frankly terrified that this is going to backfire or just be really ugly, but that's only because the side effects list is so terrifying.

The psych did have us make an appt. with a pedi cardiologist to do a baseline EKG so that makes me feel a little better....but then again, the fact that this could mess with her heart is very, very scary.

Any good/bad experiences or hints?
