Evening Medication
My 7 year old does very well on 10 mg of focalin XR during the day, but it typically wears off around 3 pm. The doctor said that is fine because it gets her through school. Her grades are fine, but she really struggles during her evening activities to the point of falling so far behind that she may not

Medicate or Not?
My 7 year old was diagnosed with ADHD when she just turned 6 in first-grade. She was on 10mg focalin all year and we saw an improvement in her grades and handwriting right away. She was never a discipline issue at all... just focus and attention to detail. This summer we removed her medication and she

I have a 6 year old boy with ADHD and ODD. He takes focalin xr and it has helped him a lot. I’ve noticed though that when it’s out of his system, he really has trouble communicating. For example, I could ask him a question and his answer will have absolutely nothing to do with what I asked. He sometimes

CBD oil and ADHD.......want to get off meds, not sure how
Hello all, my 8 yr old was diagnosed with ADHD last year. I actually noticed it first and asked his doctor, we had him tested. We have tried a couple of meds, but taking this stuff everyday, can't be good for him. He's on Focalin RX 10mg, it works but I'm looking for an alternative.....I wanted to try

Just an update
So, we thought we had it all figured out with the Focalin XR, but after about 4 months, it began to loose its effectiveness and my son began experiencing more unpleasant side effects. We discovered that the Cyprohetadine or the combination of it and the Focalin was really making him miserable. An hour

Struggling with ADHD with my 6 year old
My son was diagnosed 2 years ago with ADHD and explosive disorder. Kicked out of 2 preschool for his behavior and finally received help to consistently get him in school, once he got a 504 and IEP for kindergarten. I was reluctant to put him on meds, so i tried holistic approach, blood presses (tenex

ADHD help
My 10 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD in 2016. We have been on 4 different doses of Focalin, the latest being 25 mg. I have removed all red dye from his diet, caffeine intake is limited, yet he is still struggling in school, social settings, and home. What else can I do?

Non-Stimulants
Hi all, So my 10 year old son has not been doing well on Focalin and he didn’t do well on adderall either. Both medication I feel add anger and aggressive behaviors. His emotions are all over the place and very depressed at time. On the medication he does well in school with focus and engaging in class

My Boy- ADHD combined type
Hi! My 3rd child was diagnosed two years ago with ADHD combined type. He has been doing really well on Focalin 15 mg. It’s like night and day! However, after school when the meds wear off he sometimes does not come home right away after school. Just goes with friends to their house (parents are home

Feeling down
My son has been on Focalin XR and Guanfacine ER for about four months. Things improved somewhat as the daily phone calls from the school stopped; however the incidents he has had seem to feel more dangerous. He tried to hurt another child at school on Friday and had to be picked up. His outbursts are

Daughter Diagnosed with ADHD, any tips/stories with similar situations are welcomed?!
My 6 year old Daughter just got diagnosed with ADHD(combined type). She doesn't have any behavior issues, she's a sweet, well mannered little girl. She does have trouble focusing at school, at home she does a little better as she is an only child but I cant say I struggle with her AT ALL. I'm very hesitant

Medication and or video games
My son is 10 years old and is on 10mg of Focalin. At first I thought it was the answer but I am questioning now wether to keep my son on it or not. Although his school says he is doing well at home is a nightmare. Absolute defiance, rage and meltdowns at night. This isn’t him and I am at a complete loss
