Robaxin muscle relaxer possible trigger ?
I could use some advice. Iron infusion didn’t offer full coverage and my ferritin skyrocketed over 1,000 and has remained there. So that’s on hold. Vimpat/lacosamide worked well for a bit then got spotty. Methadone 5 mg at 10 pm and another 5 usually between 1 & 3 am was working well. So the doctor

Hello. I have my 8 y/o daughter who is currently on Focalin 20 mg and Prozac 20 mg. Prozac was increased 2 wks ago to 20 mg. Her mood got worse and she wrote a suicidal note.

Hello Everyone
Hello, I'm Lauryn, and I recently joined this online forum. I am a mother and a woman in long-term recovery. I have been dealing with various mental health challenges, including ADHD. About a year ago, I enrolled in college, so I started taking medication for ADHD, which has been incredibly helpful.

Changing medication?
Our kiddo has been on Focalin for about four years now and has great success at school. We struggle so much in the mornings (prior to taking meds) , and it has been getting worse. It’s to the point where it’s affecting my other children, and frankly myself and my mental well-being. I’ve been reading

Focalin comedown
My son (11) has been on Focalin XR for about 2 months (5mg the first month - no effect, and now 10mg). We've noticed that around 7pm, he often can get super down and sad. It's not every night, but it's at least a couple times a week. Sometimes he can identify something bothering him, but other times

Hi! Does anyone have a child taking Zoloft? My almost 12 yo son takes Focalin xr plus 100 mg of Zoloft for anger/anxiety/emotional outbursts.

8 yr Old Focalin = increased impulsivity
Hi everyone, I finally got my wife to get our son on a stimulant, Focalin, but it increased his impulsivity; we noticed and so did his teacher. He was on Focalin for 2 weeks and then we noticed a large increase in impulsivity. He has been off it for 3 weeks and the impulsivity is much less being off

Adderall and night waking
Hi! We recently switched my son from Focalin to Adderall. This is the first time switching from methylphenidate to amphetamine for him. He has always been a pretty good sleeper. Since starting the Adderall he can fall asleep fine but has each night woken at midnight and again around 4am. Not hyperactive

Gutted and alone
I found CHADD at 3am this morning and decided to post here as a bit of therapy to a group that may just "get it". I'm as low as I've ever been. I love my children fiercely but motherhood is uncomfortable sometimes, to say the least. My 13yo son was diagnosed 5 years ago with ADD. He's also tested as

Firstly let me apologise the the lengthy post my mood is rock bottom right now and I need a safe space to air everything! I should also note I'm in the UK so a lot of the medical services are very different than what I would get quite easily in the US . I have suffered with bouts of lower back and hip

ADHD/ADD/ODD
Hello all! I have a 7 year old stepson who we had tested for ADD. When the results came back that he had combined ADHD and ODD. He started on Focalin 5 mg in May and we seen a great improvement in school. We chose not to give him anything at home because we felt as though we could handle the behaviors

Generic Vyvanse
Has anyone switched to this yet, who was previously on the brand name version? If so, does it work similar to the brand name in terms of efficacy? Any different side effects? Is the texture similar when you go to mix it with yogurt, etc? My daughter has been on brand name Vyvanse for a few years now

Irritability in the evenings
I have always had a hard time transitioning from work to home. Even before I had kids, I would have to decompress before I could even talk to my husband. With kids, it’s worse because I just have to jump into being with them, making dinner, laundry etc. I have built in a little break for myself that

New ADHD diagnosis for my 6 year old girl
My little girl is newly diagnosed with ADHD though I’m not that shocked. The past year of school has been incredibly challenging: hitting the teacher, explosive emotions, easily frustrated, highly impulsive. This school year started and after she headbutted the floor, I decided to consult a doctor. The

Positive results from Guanfacine ER 1 mg
My now 9 yr old daughter was diagnosed with ODD around age 5 (took the Vanderbilt test), but did not take any medications.
