Child behind due to ADHD
The doctor advised to put him on
focalin
during school hours. The medication seems to work sometime however he is still behind in school. Will he grow out of it or is it forever ?

ADHD medication and tics
He is on
focalin
xr 15mg and has a strong noticeable tic. Has anyone experienced this before? And if so, did you continue on with medication.

Not extended release stimulant
He has taken
focalin
ER in the past and it worked wonders for him at school but it made him super angry and super defiant at home. I’m a little nervous to add a stimulant back into our routine but I’m willing to try to find out if it will help him at school.

Evening Medication
My 7 year old does very well on 10 mg of
focalin
XR during the day, but it typically wears off around 3 pm. The doctor said that is fine because it gets her through school.

Medicate or Not?
She was on 10mg
focalin
all year and we saw an improvement in her grades and handwriting right away. She was never a discipline issue at all... just focus and attention to detail.

For those who live in Mississippi do you know If the school district will allow your child to be on CBD oil?
We have taking him off of
focalin
xr (it made him lose 7 lbs in 3 weeks) and we also switched clinics since the nurse there said she saw no problem with him losing that much weight and was gonna take him off of medicine forever cause she didn't believe he has it. (I did report her.)

Scrambled
He takes
focalin
xr and it has helped him a lot. I’ve noticed though that when it’s out of his system, he really has trouble communicating. For example, I could ask him a question and his answer will have absolutely nothing to do with what I asked.

CBD oil and ADHD.......want to get off meds, not sure how
He's on
Focalin
RX 10mg, it works but I'm looking for an alternative.....I wanted to try something over summer break. Gummies will probably be easier to make the switch, but how am I suppose to know how much? or who has the best best product? and how many times a day?.......

Changing meds
My nephew, aged 10 who has severe ADHD, was taking
focalin
xr 30mg in the morning and 25 mg in the afternoon along with mirtazapine 15mg 2x daily. He was on
focalin
for a year and 1/2. He had lost so much weight and no matter the calorie intake kept it off and has not gained a pound.
