Her Behavior worsened at school her nightmares on the regular and simple tasks like putting on her socks became extremely difficult

My grandson was put on Focalin which has helped him he does focus better in school and has helped in every day struggle.

Hello,

My son was also put on Focalin but the headaches were very uncomfortable so Dr. said to change the meds. Does your grandson take extended release or lower dose twice a day? My son had Focalin XR and help a lot with his behavior.

The new medication is not as effective.

Thank you

One grandson has been on Focalin XR for years. For the other grandson Focalin was a nightmare. He was on Vyvanse for years and then switched to Straterra. Most of the time it is trail and error.
