Thanks for sharing your situation. Dan was put on Vyvanse because the doctor thought he might have ADD because he was always losing things. I knew he did not have ADD, never having any symptoms whatsoever, and his preoccupation was so obviously OCD related. I know SSRIs work for a lot of people with OCD, but my son really seems to do better overall with no medication. I’m glad you found what works for you and that you are also aware of what can go wrong.
