Minimal side effects?
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and it made him very withdrawn and somewhat depressed.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 and mood. It's a trade-off I guess.

Feeling like it's falling apart...
We started him on
Focalin
last week once their Thanksgiving break started and I've seen a huge improvement when it comes to aggression, but I still feel like he's going to struggle with friendships because the damage seems done. Sorry for the long post, I just need to get it off my chest.

ReVibe?
He is on long acting
Focalin
which by all accounts helps, but maybe not enough. I was considering trying something like the ReVibe watch to help give him some cues for focusing. Has anyone used this and had some success with it? Thanks!

Genetic Testing for most effective ADHD Meds
One of the meds the report indicated he could take is
Focalin
. He had never taken that one before. He is on that now. So far, no side effects, but I also am not sure it's working to the extent he needs it to.

Please help-ADHD medication
I've heard positive info on
Focalin
and awful info on Concerta (to include that the trials were tested on majority 13-18 year olds, yet it's administered to 6 year okds). Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, has anyone had success on a non-stimulant? Thanks! Kristy

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
I take Wellbutrin, Escitalopram,
Focalin
, and a medicinal Vitamin D3 to treat these. Okay, now for the real me 😁! My name's Becky, and I was doing all right as long as I stayed in my secure academic "box" writing my dissertation.

ADHD or Depression?
Medicine helps a bit (
focalin
) but it wears off and seems to be less effective lately. I think he needs to be reassessed for new medicines and therapy, perhaps antidepressants because the anger, I believe, is depression related. When he's happy, he's the most gregarious, lovable, and fun kid!

I have been asked by my GP to pay for my B12 ampules! Is this normal?
Hi everyone, with help from another B12 support website I sourced acetic acid free B12, it's Cobalin H Hydroxocabalamin. A woman who advised of this gets it free via her GP, it's the one her practice uses for everyone. I have interstitial cystitis where I have to avoid all acids, so a very valid reason
