Vanishing vyvanse: What time does he experience the "wear-off"? If it is late in the day it would be difficult to introduce a "homework pill" - as it could compromise sleep. Vyvanse is available as 10 mg and it might not cute such a slump. It could be be that this is more unique to this product and other longer acting stimulants would be better tolerated.
