What experiences have other parents had with their children and Vyvanse?

My 11 year old daughter has been prescribed Vyvanse for some ADD symptoms. I haven't started her on it yet (I want to start her on the weekend so I can monitor her). She has trouble with focus and impulse control sometimes. I am just curious as to how this medication has worked for other children and what if any side effects others have had.

Update:

Wow, really, like a robot. That makes me sad for you. I don't want that for my daughter.

    i use vyvanse. they affect me personality wise, they make me feel like a robot, no personality. but that's okay because they really do help get school work done and i actually want to do my homework and go to school. they will affect her appitite, she wont be hungry but just make sure she eats three meals a day with them. i reccomend vyvanse.
