So Lisdexamphetamine has finally been approved in the UK, licensed for ADHD in children.
They've come up with the brand name of Elvanse for it here, rather than Vyvanse.

Does anyone have any experience with it?
I'm currently taking concerta 36, but it still doesn't last quite as long as its supposed to in me.

I'm seeing my psychiatrist on Tuesday, and might mention it to him. But since its only just been added to the BNF, I doubt any doctors have any experience with it.

(Not sure whether I can write this bit)
It's listed as being more expensive than concerta, but cheaper than strattera or provigil (at cost to the NHS).
