Our update on broad spectrum micronutrients
So back in February the bad input house reached an all time high when I had to take my son to a crisis center after an incident at school. Unfortunately, they didn’t do anything to help because he had calmed down and they sent us on our way with a referral to services which weren’t covered by our insurance

Extra dose of medication
My 11 year old son is on Focalin 10 mg twice a day. He has been on it for 2 years now. Recently we have noticed that in the morning before his dose or after school his behavior got worse meaning he is off track, very irritable, not compliant and arguing a lot. He is doing excellent in school. I have

Straterra vs Adderall XR
Has anyone taken adderall xr and switched to straterra? I am terrified. I was taking Adderall XR 30mg twice a day and my doctor switched me to STRATTERA 60mg a day. The XR's were working great for me and im afraid it isnt going to work the same.

New Medication after Vyvanse?
Hello, I’m very new to this site. My son, now 23 was diagnosed with ADHD in the third grade. He successfully took Adderall XR for about 8 years (the last two of those years were a mess). He then was changed to Vyvanse 70 mg for the last 6 years. Although, there have always been struggles, the medication

Medication changes
Hi I am new to this community. I have a 7yo boy who was diagnosed in end of Kindergarten (he is now in 2nd grade). He recently had a big change in his mood and attitude. He was doing well with medication alone and some behavioral modification. I am only seeing a neurologist and I am currently seeking

Getting a negative result on Amphetamine urine despite being on generic Adderall daily.
I've been treated for ADD for at least the past 10 years and prescribed Adderall ( currently taking the generic version by Prasco). I take 25 mg of Adderall XR and 10mg of immediate release mid day. I take my meds religiously. My new doctor gave me two urine test to screen for Amphetamines and BOTH came

Picky 8YO on Adderall XR needs to gain weight
Any good ideas for getting our picky eater to eat enough calories to start gaining weight? (Without meds he’s a dynamo, less so on meds, but he’s always moving, so he burns plenty of calories.). Wondering about kid-friendly shakes (think Ensure) that taste good. Don’t want to buy a bunch of something

Does adderall work ?
One difference between the drugs is how fast they work and how long they last. Adderall may work slightly faster, but Concerta lasts longer: Adderall typically works within 30 minutes and lasts for 5 to 7 hours. Adderall XR usually works within 30 minutes and lasts about 8 to 10 hours http://verifieddrugstore.com

Medication stopped working after two weeks?
Hello Support team (Yes, you all are), My daughter is currently on
Focalin
XR
which was increased in dosage, and started Guanfacine about 3-4 weeks ago. When the guanfacine was started, it was almost night and day. We had tons of great reports from school, she was making great progress at home.

Help with 12yr old son and school/home work!
He is currently on
Focalin

New to ADD meds but need to switch
I was diagnosed in April with ADD. I have always struggled with school but had been able to compensate until reaching the doctoral level. After almost quitting my program I decided to get evaluated. I started taking the generic Concerta in April and It has really made a difference and enabled me to make
