Focalin XR Teacher Feedback
Hello Folks, My daughter has been on Focalin XR for about 3 weeks now. So far, me and my wife are happy with the change. She can focus easier, we did not feel her personality changed, she still seemed like the same kid, just calmer. We did receive feedback from her teacher today which has me a little

Focalin XR sleepyness?
Howdy Folks, Just started my 6 year old daughter on Focalin XR. We are on day 5. First let me start by saying it was a big hurdle for me to consider medication. One year ago, I would have said absolutely never. That being said, we chose medication out of compassion. We started to notice and pick

Vyvanse working well
I wanted to post an update on my 7-year-old son Luke who started taking Vyvanse in early December. I'm happy to report that this medication seems to be working well and we even increased his dosage from 10 mg. to 20 mg. The experience with this drug is so much better than Focalin, which made him withdrawn

Focalin?
My son is 11 and was just diagnosed with ADHD. His doctor prescribed focalin extended release capsules. Waiting for the pharmacy to fill the prescription... we may have to wait until next week. Just wanted to know if any of you have used focalin and whether it has been successful or not. We will also

Caffeine as a booster?
Has anyone ever tried caffeine as an afternoon booster? My 9-year old daughter is on 10mg of focalin, which works great during the day, but once it wears if, she has total impulsivity and lack of focus issues. Our pediatrician is reluctant to give her a booster because of her age, but a friend suggested

Doctor thinks it’s lupus
My rheumatologist thinks it’s lupus but wants to see me again in 2 months to confirm. I’m now on Celebrex, robaxin, Methylprednisolone And decara for vitamin D deficiency. So far I have inflammation of the colon and liver. Let’s see how things go.

Has anyone tried Vayarin?
My daughter is 9 and was diagnosed with ADHD over a year ago. She's been on 10mg of Focalin, which has been working really well until lately. It still gets her through the day pretty well, but I swear wears off at 5:01pm on the dot every day. We talked to her pediatrician and given her age, he's reluctant

Minimal side effects?
We are in the process of finding the right medication for my 7 year old son recently diagnosed with ADHD. We tried Focalin and it made him very withdrawn and somewhat depressed. We are about to start Vyvanse so we'll see how that works. I'm very concerned about how these drugs affect a child's personality

Vyvanse
My 7-year-old son was recently diagnosed with ADHD. We started him on Focalin last week and it completely changed his personality. Made him withdrawn, irritable and slightly depressed. Other people noticed the change in him. This is obviously not what we wanted. We want to help him get his impulsive

Trileptal-Any Experience?
We just left my 7yr old’s prescribing doctor and he has decided to add the medicine trileptal to his schedule in addition to the Focalin and Focalin XR that he already takes? Anybody had any experience good or bad with this med?!

7yr old on Focalin but something has to change
My youngest boy struggles tremendously with his ADHD and the effects it has on him. He has taken guanfacine and tenex in the past. The guanfacine had no effect on him and the tenex made him an emotional mess! We have had him on Focalin XR during the day and Focalin in the evening. He has been taking

To seek a 2nd opinion or not
So my son was dx with adhd and on focalin xr and had an amazing week at school. He has definite opp defiant behavior too which isn’t great at home yet. Do I stick with my current psychiatrist who is amazing tho not a great rapport with son. Or do I go for a 2nd opinion with a psychiatrist who is hard

Feeling like it's falling apart...
Hello! I'm a mother of 2 boys and my oldest was just diagnosed with ADHD-combined type. We knew once he started having troubles in Pre-K that ADHD was a possibility, but we couldn't have imagined the troubles we've had in such a short time. I made his kindergarten teacher aware that we needed her to

ReVibe?
Hi all, I have an 8 year old son with ADHD and learning disabilities in reading, writing, and math. According to his teachers, when he can focus, he performs on grade level. But he can rarely stay focused enough to show what he can do. He is on long acting Focalin which by all accounts helps, but maybe

Genetic Testing for most effective ADHD Meds
Has anyone done genetic testing to see which ADHD med is best for your ADHD child? My son's doctor did it and I went along because I figured it can't hurt. The results were interesting. It indicated that there are a few meds he does not metabolize well. Ironically, those meds are ones that he had
