Experiences with

Daytrana

Has anyone found a way to get Daytrana affordably without insurance?

has anyone tried using the Daytrana patch? My son who has ADHD and is 10 yo, hates taking any type of meds so was thinking of using this. I let him start school without his meds but typically the teachers will call me to say he’s not focusing or catching on.

any feedback on Daytrana patch for adhd. We have tried multiple stimulants. Currently taking 40 mg Metadate CD. Doesn’t last all day and still having trouble with impulsiveness and emotional control

Metadate, Daytrana, Methylin, Quillivant, Quillichew ER, Ritalin - OMG Janice Rodden! are you OK? do you have a compulsion to assure people that most people don't get side effects from ritalin while minimizing the fact that you're talking about ritalin? My understanding is ~20% experience tics.

Can those using the Daytrana patch share their experiences for success? We are on week three of the 15mg. We’ve seen some really good things but this week seems different, more moodiness and defiance in the afternoon about 45 minutes before we’re supposed to take it off.

After daytrana patch (or adderall XR at a different time) - refuses to do schoolwork, is defiant to me and is rude to her little sister. And then is hyper socially aware and seems insecure when out among her peers. She cried that it’s “hard to make friends” and it breaks my heart.

I also have ADHD and I take the Daytrana patch during the day (10mg) and 5mg of Adderall before I even get out of bed, like 6am, just to cut through the morning fog I now have.

He is currently in 15 daytrana patch. I feel like every year we need to increase. He does amazing on it. But you start seeing things creep up. He is only 7 right now. Will I have to increase every year?

Hello, I'm a new member and in need of advice from other parents regarding Daytrana. The Dr. Prescribed the daytrana patch today. Has anyone tried this in their kids?

We attempted to change her medicine to the Daytrana patch, since it appears to be just the delivery that's the problem but insurance won't pay for it unless she has failed at several other medications.

Just this week we tried him on Daytrana (the patch) and he developed a motor tic a few hours in and it was really scary. Tomorrow we are going to try Adderall. Are there any side effects I should watch out for day 1? Will I see a difference within a day or two?

Hi fellow Moms on a mission : ) Has anyone out there had experience with the Daytrana patch? How long did you use it? My daughter won't swallow pills and our health coverage doesn't cover liquid medicine. She's 12, very petite and concerned the weight loss isn't good for her.

She continues taking Daytrana patches for focus during school, but we are dealing with ADHD outside of school without any meds. She still has anger outbursts however they are few and far between, she is a severe procrastinator and we are working on this day by day.

The estimated risk was six to eight times higher for ADHD patients prescribed stimulant medications like methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Metadate, and Methylin), mixed amphetamine salts (Adderall), and dexmethylphenidate (Focalin), and was especially pronounced in these patients between

Figuring the right type of medications and then the right brand 1) Methylphenidate (MPH) - Focalin, Focalin XR; Concerta; Daytrana; Metadate CD 2) Amphetamines (AMP) - Adderall XR; Vyvanse 3) Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor like Strattera 4) Antidepressant - Bupropion sold under the brand names

My insurance company just stopped covering the Daytrana patch. Went from $20.00 per month, to $300.00 per month. I can't afford this. For me, the Daytrana worked best of all the ADD meds I have tried, and after 30+ years of being treated for adult ADD, I have tried them all.

I wanted to try something other than concerta 36mg since that is a 10-12 hour time release. so he suggested daytrana 10mg patch but all pharmacy's seem to be on back order! has anyone tried the patch I'm not to sure about it... and we are going to try 5mg cut in half of Lexapro.

Anyone have experience with Daytrana patch for child? Good or bad experiences? So far I have heard of a few good experiences from people on here. Just looking for any more input. Going to ask my sons psychiatrist to try it in two weeks.

From what I’ve read Daytrana patch has the smoothest increase and decrease and lasts the longest which is also important.

Anyone had success with this patch for their 6-7 year old and their ADHD impulses? Any bad side effects that lasted?
