Discussion
I was able to contribute to this past week’s clinical by talking about my personal experience with both lisdexamphetamine and methylphenidate. One of the patients having a hard time getting her ADHD medication heard about various ADHD meds from friends, family, and co-workers. She wanted to try a new medication but had questions about which would likely be the best for her. I told her that of course everyone is different and what works for me, may not work for her. I told her that with the lisdexamphetamine, I was way more focused than with the methylphenidate. I did warn her that lisdexamphetamine and its counterpart, Vyvanse, have been hard to get as well. I told her that she needed to take that into consideration. Looking Ahead
