New here and not sure which way to go
Hi! My 8 yr old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, mild dyslexia and anxiety. The diagnosis was in place as of November 2017 but the school wanted to wait for her neurospysch eval instead of doing a Child Study team/IEP. Finally saw the neuropsych, got the report and they have quite a few recommendations

Focalin xr dosage change
We have now increased the dose to 30mg.. starting tomorrow. The lower dosages were doing absolutely nothing. I feel bad at times... I start to feel annoyed and upset when it's time for schoolboy be dismissed. It's like I have to hype myself up to deal with another evening of not listening, fighting

Well we are on day 2 of the focalin xr 5 mg tablet. I got scared yesterday because he said his head felt weird. But that was on Sunday(yesterday), but then today was his first school day on Focalin Xr and he did great and I could tell a difference already. He came home sat down and did his homework

Help!!
We just tried Focalin XR 5mg on our 7 year old this past week and it’s helped with the impulse behavior but it seems to make him more irritable/anxious and more emotional. This also happened with the Adderall 5mg too. We also tried Guanfacine 5mg that made no difference at all. He’s doing fine academically

Suggestions with Focalin XR side effects?
Hello my son (6yo) has been taking Focalin XR 5mg for few weeks now. At first it was working great for school and also was still in his system for about an hour after getting home which helped a lot with homework. Problems are that he doesn’t have an appetite until late, I struggle to get him to drink

Focalin XR Teacher Feedback
Hello Folks, My daughter has been on Focalin XR for about 3 weeks now. So far, me and my wife are happy with the change. She can focus easier, we did not feel her personality changed, she still seemed like the same kid, just calmer. We did receive feedback from her teacher today which has me a little

Medication Woes
I am on the Autism spectrum. Anyone have issues with their medication having a fine line between giving you the ability to concentrate but then a couple of mg higher it then sends your anxiety thru the roof and then your brain gets cloudy again? I take Adderall XR and it seems to be giving me issues

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!

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

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

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
