Focalin and aggression
This really didn’t happen on the Quillichew and the only reason we changed to
Focalin
was because it is hard to find Quillichew in stock at the pharmacy. Has anyone else noticed aggressive behavior with
Focalin
? Thanks!

Trying to be a better human!
I have been on Ritalin 20mg (2 months RAGE MACHINE), Vyvanse 40mg (6 months got to be to much $ w/o insurance), and now
Focalin
XR 30mg but need to up it I think. Vyvanse helped with my health a lot I lost 35lbs. quit smoking and felt better.
Focalin
XR is different but good still.

Coaching?
Thanks,
Focalin
! I like the sound of coaching, but will it be enough? CBT is what my diagnosing psychologist recommended, but there aren't any around here that have appointments available anytime in the near future. For those of you who have done coaching, did it help? Thanks!

Adderal XR and Guanfacine
My son takes
Focalin

How can I help my son succeed in school?
He takes 25 mg of
Focalin
XR every morning with the option to take another 10mg in the afternoon. Prior to this Covid 19, my son was doing good in school. He had a 3.5 GPA and participated in Volleyball.

Medication and prescriber advise please!
The NP suggested adding an afternoon booster of
Focalin
, however I also recently met a few times with a psychologist (trying to get a more thorough assessment and diagnosis) and she felt that it may be more beneficial to first increase the dose, since 30mg is considered a starting dose.

Focalin as afternoon booster
My dr suggested trying 5mg of
Focalin
around 2pm and that I don’t need to take it on the days that I have a shorter work day. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Calming activities pre bedtime?
My son is 7 with ADHD on
Focalin
and he gets severely hyper before bedtime and we can't seem to find anything to help him calm down. I also suspect he is a sensory seeker as he is constantly in motion, down on the floor, all over the place.

Help with supplements
He currently takes
focalin
XR and
focalin
for homework days after school. When he isn’t medicated he very loud and pretty sure he also had ODD. I am very interested in supplements to help his mood. Not sure how much of what and when to take it.

Heart Flutters/palpitations on Vyvanse normal?
Also, is maybe another stimulant (like Quillivant or
focalin
) easier on the heart issue or are they all the same basically? Thanks so much! So thankful I found this site. All the posts and comments have been so helpful and supportive.

new here!
He has been seeing a psychologist for a few months now, and we are experimenting with
Focalin
XR 10mg. The 1st week everything seemed to be going well at school, but the few weeks since then have been back to rocky with ups and downs.

Severe congestion associated with focalin for ADHD?
We started my son on
Focalin
last March and he has had a severely congested nose ever since. We tried switching meds but the reality is they have the same drugs in them. Has anyone else had this experience?

Vivanse vs Focalin and Ritalin
Has anyone given Vivanse to their tween after trying
Focalin
and Ritalin? How was your child’s experience? Was Vivanse more effective as opposed to Ritalin or
Focalin
? How long did the effects last?

Combining ADHD and Anxiety meds for inattentive type? Please share your experience...
Next he started him on 5mg
Focalin
XR, went to 10 mg after a few days of no negative symptoms. Went up to 15 mg after a few weeks of no negative symptoms but also not much help with ADHD symptoms. A few days on the 15 mg he reported feeling shaky, anxious and irritable all day.
