Kid acts nutty at md office visits
I know this is part of her adhd and anxiety but this makes my anxiety go full throttle. My 11 y.o will need to have a tooth removed because it's not coming out on it's own and causing some issues.

My Story
I have Osteoarthritis of the back and neck which has been going on since December 2016. During this time I have been taking Tramadol as it’s the only painkiller that works. However I am very conscious that tramadol is not a good thing to be taking long term. I have private medical care through my employer

Further Testing in public schools??
Hi Everyone, My son has Inattentive ADHD. He is on 10mg of Focalin RX, which I feel he needs a slow acting dose in the afternoon but as of right now he is only on the 10. My sons therapist suggested I have him evaluated for Sensory integrated dysfunction or sensory processing disorder. Has anyone done

Focalin -intestinal side effects?
My son is 5, diagnosed with ADHD. We just started him on 2.5 mg of Focalin one week ago just to see how he takes it. It has helped him focus better at school, but the last two days he has had some diarrhea. I knew nausea was sometimes a side effect of Focalin, but have any of your kids had diarrhea as

The Medication Game
My son was diagnosed with ADHD about 8 months ago. Since than we have been trying to find medication that can help him. He's currently on Intuniv and that helps his hyperactivity. However, to help him at school we tried Focalin, Adderall and Vyvance with varying dosage. On all three he became extremely

Hi all! I am a single parent of an 11 year old boy with ADHD combined type. He currently takes 25mg of Focalin XR every morning.

Advice for 6yo and severe meltdowns after meds wear off
My 6 year old son started taking Focalin 10mg. He has improved in school tremendously and I’m constantly getting notes and messages from his teachers telling me how great he’s doing. The issue is when he comes home the medicine is wearing off and he is off the chain. Gets frustrated extremely easy,

New here and not sure which way to go
Hi! My 8 yr old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, mild dyslexia and anxiety. The diagnosis was in place as of November 2017 but the school wanted to wait for her neurospysch eval instead of doing a Child Study team/IEP. Finally saw the neuropsych, got the report and they have quite a few recommendations

Focalin xr dosage change
We have now increased the dose to 30mg.. starting tomorrow. The lower dosages were doing absolutely nothing. I feel bad at times... I start to feel annoyed and upset when it's time for schoolboy be dismissed. It's like I have to hype myself up to deal with another evening of not listening, fighting

Drug alternatives
Hello all, my daughter has ADHD. When she was first diagnosed we tried Focalin. She hated it, mostly the way it made her feel. We ended it and have since been treating her with alternative therapy. We have cut out certain foods and dyes. We tired vitamins as well. Just wondering if anyone has any alternatives

Help!!
We just tried Focalin XR 5mg on our 7 year old this past week and it’s helped with the impulse behavior but it seems to make him more irritable/anxious and more emotional. This also happened with the Adderall 5mg too. We also tried Guanfacine 5mg that made no difference at all. He’s doing fine academically

Suggestions with Focalin XR side effects?
Hello my son (6yo) has been taking Focalin XR 5mg for few weeks now. At first it was working great for school and also was still in his system for about an hour after getting home which helped a lot with homework. Problems are that he doesn’t have an appetite until late, I struggle to get him to drink
