Focalin ER/ Dexmethylphenidate induced tics
Hello everyone and Happy New year, This post is regarding my six year old son who was prescribed Focalin ER generic brand for his ADHD. I was unaware at that time what tics looks like until it became severe. His severity extended to hitting himself to relieve his tics. I am worried as it’s been

Focalin
My 11 year old son has been on combo medicine (clonidine & Focalin). He’s been on this combo for a year and Focalin for 3 years (only takes Focalin during school days). He is expressing that it makes him feel angry lately. Could be the crash. Does anyone else kids report this anger feeling from meds

Breathing and shortness of breath - 15 year old on ADHD stimulant
HI My son is complaining of shortness of breath/shallow breathing after starting stimulant meds for ADHD. They work well to help him focus so he does not want to stop, but I was wondering if anyone had experienced breathing issues. He takes 15mg of Focalin. Thanks

Too quick to diagnose?
Hi everyone, I’m fairly new here. Joined this forum after stating to discuss possible ADHD with my therapist, then reading a book she recommended about ADD in women and highlighting almost every page as I recognized myself in all of the writing, then succumbing to intense anxiety for which I was prescribed

Vyvanase
My doctor is changing my prescription from 30mgs of Adderall XR to 50mgs of Vyvanase. I was wondering if there was anyone here who has taken the drug and what there experience was while taking it?

Adderall
I'm reaching out again to hear from the community. My 8 yr old grandson was prescribed Adderall XR 10mg for his ADHD, and although at home and his teacher at school saw a reduction in his impulsivity and improvements in recall, we felt that at home there was an increase in his irritability and aggression

ADHD Medication Costs
Last month the Guanfacine was $25.50 and this month it is $47 and
Focalin
XR
(generic formula) was $148 and now $120. Same dosage. Same count. We have private insurance and we haven't met our $3000 deductible yet, so it shouldn't be insurance-related adjustments.

Need someone Knowledgeable in adhd medications
Hi, I'm here for my 10yr old grandson. He was 48" tall and 48 lbs almost 2 years ago. He Looks more like 7 yrs old. He has been taking concerta for the last 3 years until about 2 months ago. It's good for him, but he will not grow and will not eat. Plus, it makes him have horrible constipation

Adderall XR Nationwide Shortage
This morning I was informed by my pharmacist that there is a national shortage of Adderall XR due to several factors. While it is debatable as to whether or not the medication was truly helping to alleviate my symptoms (I take 30 mgs of XR, which I feel is too low) I was wondering what other medications

Different manufacturers’s generic Adderalls work differently to you as well?
I started to take generic Adderall xr 10mg and I felt very good. One day, my pill was changed to a different manufacturer’s ones and I started to feel terrible. I have a dull headache and I lost motivation and focus. My food craving is back. I feel like I don’t want to do anything but I want to stay

Med Check Visits
We recently switched to a high deductible insurance plan with my husband's new job. He and my 2 sons all have ADHD and take Adderall XR and Concerta. With our old insurance they just saw their primary care doctor's 4 times a year to manage their medications. With our new insurance those visits are

Irritable on Adderall XR
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and started on 10mg Adderall xr and everything was going well for about a month. Then I started to feel very irritated by everyone. I would snap at my husband and daughter for every little thing. It got so bad I just stopped taking my meds but now I’m back to my old

Help for a Newbie!
Hi all! While looking for ADHD resources, I came across this site- and am so thankful! I am 36 and received my diagnosis at 35 after years of telling doctors that there had to be an overarching reason for all of the symptoms that were bothering me! I was told it was because I’m a mom, and diagnosed

Has anyone taken the GeneSight test? What was your experience, was it helpful for your medication management?
I just received a copy of my GeneSight test results in advance of an appointment with my psychiatrist. I have some preliminary ideas as to how to interpret and use this info. Some background: I have Bipolar II and ADHD-C. I've been on 18mg of Concerta since January 2021, until the last couple of months

Tics with Metadate CD
Just curious if anyone else’s child has experienced tics with Metadate CD. My son initially started taking Metadate CD last year and we noticed a tic that started where he shoves his fingers in his butt. Over time it subsided some and wasn’t as frequent. Now three weeks ago they replaced his afternoon

Medication for impulse and regulating emotions
Hi I recently posted about starting my son back up on meds. We had my son revaluated and his pediatrician put him on Concerta even though we tried it years ago and said focalin seemed to work best for him. Not surprised but the Concerta did not work and just made him more sensitive than anything.
