Recently diagnosed with ADHD- relationship issues
Hello everyone. I've recently gotten diagnosed with ADHD- it explains so much- the forgetfulness, impulsiveness and disorganization. Tried going to a behavior therapist; she told me more about herself than helping me. In any case, my relationship is suffering because of my ADHD. I am now finally

Medication and prescriber advise please!
I went to see a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to see if my anxiety issues were stemming from ADHD and if adhd meds could be helpful. After a 20-30 min interview/discussion she agreed that ADHD sounded likely and prescribed Vyvanse. We started with 20mg and went up to 30 when I followed up a month later

Calming activities pre bedtime?
My son is 7 with ADHD on Focalin and he gets severely hyper before bedtime and we can't seem to find anything to help him calm down. I also suspect he is a sensory seeker as he is constantly in motion, down on the floor, all over the place. We read books, I've let him read in bed, we pray, do deep breathing

Focalin as afternoon booster
Hi, I’m on 30mg Vyvanse, which I usually take around 8am. It seems to work pretty well from about 9:30-2 or so but I find I need an afternoon coffee to stay focused and even that won’t be enough on the days that I work late. My dr suggested trying 5mg of Focalin around 2pm and that I don’t need to take

Help with supplements
Hello! I am a mom of 4. My oldest son is 9 and has ADHD. He currently takes focalin XR and focalin for homework days after school. When he isn’t medicated he very loud and pretty sure he also had ODD. I am very interested in supplements to help his mood. Not sure how much of what and when to take it.

new here!
So my 7y/o son was recently diagnosed(although I've known for awhile) with ADHD. His symptoms are inattention, hyperactivity, ants in his pants, etc with some aggression. He has been seeing a psychologist for a few months now, and we are experimenting with Focalin XR 10mg. The 1st week everything

Severe congestion associated with focalin for ADHD?
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

Combining ADHD and Anxiety meds for inattentive type? Please share your experience...
Hello, my 16 year old son was diagnosed with anxiety in 3rd grade but with ADHD, inattentive this past summer at age 16. He still suffers with anxiety, mostly social anxiety. His lack of executive functioning seems to be the biggest issue right now with some impulsivity. He had already been on Paxil

Vivanse vs Focalin and Ritalin
Has anyone given Vivanse to their tween after trying Focalin and Ritalin? How was your child’s experience? Was Vivanse more effective as opposed to Ritalin or Focalin? How long did the effects last?

Teen starting Focalin along with Paxil
I would like to hear about experiences of teen taking both anxiety and ADHD meds together. Specifically, my 16 year old son has been taking Paxil for about 8 months which has helped with anxiety. However, he was diagnosed with ADHD Inattentive type and Executive Functioning Skills disorder this summer

Has anyone tried Zenzedi or Sunosi?
I am struggling trying to find relief from excess sleepiness, focus, motivation, etc. not diagnosed as narcolepsy - yet. I've tried Vyvanse, Ritalin, Focalin, Adderall , Provigil, anti depressants, and combos. None have provided substantial benefits. Anyone? About to start Effexor.

Medication recommendation
Any succes with medication that doesn’t suppress appetite or delays growth? My son is currently on a “ medication break”. School will start soon, and doctor wants to trial Focalin, but I’m worried

Focalin XR Generic by Teva - thoughts?
Hey yall, first time poster here. My son will be 8 in a week; he's been on Concerta since last November, but after increasing his dose from 9mg to 18, then 27, it just wasn't enough - his focus and impulse control were better but his emotional regulation was still severely lacking. We bumped to 36mg

Focalin xr
My son has been taking focalin xr for about a year now. He is 13 years old. Im concerned with his weight and him losing his appetite while on the medication. He doesnt take it on weekends as has a normal appetite but when hes on it hes never hungry. Has anyone else run into this problem on this drug?

Figuring out which medication works
Hi parents! My 2nd grader recently is going through changes with not being able to control his emotions. We see this at home and get reports from school that he has outburst when he doesn't want to do his school work. He also gets frustrated when he doesn't get the subject and in turn becomes emotional
