Hello
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Vyvanse is a good medicine for ADD. It belongs to amphetamine group. As you have mentioned that he has recently shown episodes of anger. He even threw the computer on ground. It may occur either due to poor control of his ADD or due to some mood episode. In a number of patients of ADD mood symptoms may develop. They may show anger outbursts, irritability, arrogant behavior. I will advise you to take him to Psychiatrist for proper evaluation. Medicines like Sodium Valporate which is a mood stabilizer can be given in such cases to decrease anger and aggression.

Thanks

Hi Michelle, thanks for asking. Aggressiveness is one of the side effects of vyvance. It may happen especially if the dose has been initiated a little higher than usual or if he is too thin. A good way to control this side effect is to decrease the dose or add an alpha 2 agonist medication (like clonidine, guanfacine, etc) by his doctor to this medication. It would be helpful for his inattention as well. I wish him a good performance at school and life.
