Anyone heard of Dyanavel XR 2.5 mg??
Since we can’t get any quillivant XR, the neurologist prescribed my son this. It is double the price of Quillivant with my insurance. Cost me $50!! And he only takes 3ml instead of 6ml. The bottle is so tiny. Does anyone know about this medicine? I’m upset that it costs so much!

Keppra and pregnancy
During my last pregnancy I was taking Lamictal and am pleased to say that I had a healthy baby. Unfortunately Lamictal isn’t working for me and as such I’m now coming off it and on to Keppra. Eventually we would like to have another baby - has anyone else been on Keppra whilst pregnant and if so how

ADD & AN AGGRESSIVE HUSBAND WHO BLAMES ME & THREATENS ALL THE TIME!
I am close to calling it quits with my marriage. I just can't deal with the aggression my husband shows when he is in some sort of reactive time either food or emotionally brought on. It gets directed at me when I am asking a reasonable question or trying to just have conversations. We have been married

Mydayis effective for Adderall tolerant individuals?
Hi everyone, my name is jenni, I’m a 31yo single mom with an amazing 4yo son. Recently we were living in a domestic violence shelter for over 4 months until I was fortunate enough to find an amazing program through Vantage Health Systems, a mental health facility, called Opening Doors.

Focalin XR sleepyness?
Howdy Folks, Just started my 6 year old daughter on Focalin XR. We are on day 5. First let me start by saying it was a big hurdle for me to consider medication. One year ago, I would have said absolutely never. That being said, we chose medication out of compassion. We started to notice and pick

FEELINGS
Touch wood, I have been seizure free for nearly 7 yrs now. But I get like a cold feeling going through my body sometimes. When this used to happen before it was like a warning that a seizure was coming on in next minute or so. Even my wife could tell. Has anyone else had feelings like this. I seem

I'm so glad I found this forum! I was diagnosed with "atypical epilepsy" a couple of years ago. The reason for the diagnosis was that no brain damage could be found, neither on EEG:s nor on MRI:s (and I have had several of them). For a long time, my only symptoms were blackouts lasting 1-2 minutes. I

Son’s 1st day on Quillivant
My son is 7(8 in less than 6wks) and I noticed when he was 3/4 that he was ALWAYS extremely hyper, never still, constantly talking, no activity kept him interested for long, usually did several things at once...often not completing one. Once he was upset, it took a lot to bring him down and his emotions

To seek a 2nd opinion or not
So my son was dx with adhd and on focalin xr and had an amazing week at school. He has definite opp defiant behavior too which isn’t great at home yet. Do I stick with my current psychiatrist who is amazing tho not a great rapport with son. Or do I go for a 2nd opinion with a psychiatrist who is hard

We just left my 7yr old’s prescribing doctor and he has decided to add the medicine trileptal to his schedule in addition to the Focalin and Focalin XR that he already takes? Anybody had any experience good or bad with this med?!

7yr old on Focalin but something has to change
My youngest boy struggles tremendously with his ADHD and the effects it has on him. He has taken guanfacine and tenex in the past. The guanfacine had no effect on him and the tenex made him an emotional mess! We have had him on Focalin XR during the day and Focalin in the evening. He has been taking
