Hi there, mom of 8 year old boy with ADHD. We started my son on Focalin last March and he has had a severely congested nose ever since. We tried switching meds but the reality is they have the same drugs in them. Has anyone else had this experience? So far we chalked it up to coincidence and have tested for enlarged adenoids and treated for allergies. Zyrtec helps but hate adding more drugs to the regime...any help?

My grandson was on that all through grade school and never saw a problem with that, just appetite suppression.
