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 We tried Focalin and it made him very withdrawn and somewhat depressed.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 Made him withdrawn, irritable and slightly depressed.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

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

Meds stop working??
My 12 yo daughter has ADHD and some anxiety and depression. The Dr put her on 20mg Adderall xr and 10mg lexapro for four weeks and suddenly she started getting aggitated and sad. Do the meds just stop working? This isn't her first med but better than the last. Any suggestions on what to do? Can't

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

Hello! I'm new here so here goes! I was removed from a position at work because I mistakenly took me son's medicine. You see I'm a driver and am subject to random drug screening. I take Ritalin LA and my son takes Adderall XR. One morning I took his by mistake and had a test at work and didn't realize

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

Please help-ADHD medication
My 6 year old son was diagnosed in April with ADHD. At the time he was in a level 4 public school (not good) with 30 kids in his kindergarten class with only one part time para. They said he was doing "ok" and "just needed some extra reminders for behavior and listening". I knew he was hiding and not
