My son takes it and does very well on it. Meds are very different and trying different ones helps a lot. It's similar to Vyvanse in how it's released and I love Vyvanse for myself. Really helps with mood!

Aztarys makes both my eight-year-old son and my husband, irritable and aggressive. My son does much better on Concerta, and my husband on Adderall.

oh wow. What dose did the doc put him on? I know there are 3 doses and just wondering. But also that everyone responds differently. Thanks for sharing!

hi! I don’t quite remember because it was two winters ago when they ran out of Concerta countrywide and we needed a replacement for a couple months. It was whatever my son‘s equivalent dose would have been. So at that time he was taking 36 mg methylphenidate ER, and I think that’s, like 40 mg of Azstarys. Don’t quote me on that!
