Take as prescribed: I would recommend you take it as prescribed by your psychiatrist. We know that it decreases the risk of car accidents considerably as well as fatal car accidents. By staying on your medication decreases the risk of substance abuse and the impulsivity that leads to promiscuity and unwanted pregnancies. Ask yourself if you would want to be on the road while someone with attention deficit disorder is driving towards you or next to you.I lost a dear friend about your age who had add. She forgot to take her medication apparently and was distracted while driving on the road she had driven literally hundreds of times. She missed a bend in the road and was hit head-on by a semi. She died instantly. It is simply not worth the risk.Please think about this and best wishes and have a safe holiday.

DISCUSS WITH MD: To be effective you have to take vyvanase daily as prescribed.We can not advice you to take it three times a week. If you have any side effects or concerns discuss with the prescribing doctor.
