I have a 12 year old son who has been taking Vyvanse for the last 6 months. His performance has been outstanding, but he has not grown in height since he started the Vyvanse. He grew eight inches in the year priort to taking the meds. We've taken him off for the summer, but does anyone else have experience with this?

The FDA actually does acknowledge that growth stunting has been known to occur in some kids that take stimulant medications for ADHD and, if it occurs, they may need to stop the medication.

Have you informed his doctor? They are actually supposed to monitor the weight and growth of children that are taking these medications, on a regular basis.
