Medication stopped working after two weeks?
Hello Support team (Yes, you all are), My daughter is currently on Focalin XR which was increased in dosage, and started Guanfacine about 3-4 weeks ago. When the guanfacine was started, it was almost night and day. We had tons of great reports from school, she was making great progress at home. Fast

Changing meds
Looking for some advice about meds. My son is 8 and takes Adderall XR 10mg. We thought it was helping but I am just not sure it is the right medication. His appetite is poor and not sleeping well lately. Doctor suggested Remeron to help with sleep and appetite? Anyone ever try it? Did it help?

Help with 12yr old son and school/home work!
My son is 12 years old, he is a 7th grader and we are struggling with his grades. Im trying as much as I can to help him, but also trying to make him responsible for his own grades. He is currently on Focalin XR, I've been considering CBD oil but I honestly don't know what else to do to help him be successful

School Behavior and Medication
My Child is 7yrs old and has ADHD combined. He has been really struggling with behavior in school which is also impacting his school work. He is using his hands cannot focus to get the work done.

Do decreased side effects mean med is not working as well?
My 13 year old has been taking Adderall XR 10 mg for a month. It has clearly been working as she has straight A's right now - which was not the goal and is pretty outrageous! We've been using a little rating scale I found and it seemed the 10 mg was working really well. Recently, I found the side effects

ADHD medication and tics
Hi, I am new here and my 8 year old son was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Before he was diagnosed, I noticed that he would have both vocal and motor tics that would come and go. This was on going through the school year. When summer came, we noticed they stopped. We then got the diagnosis and decided

Hope
I have been reading post after post and researching all about ADHD. At the end of 3rd grade my son got into the special ed program because his ADHD was effecting his learning. He is not medicated. We just started 4th grade and he hates that he is pulled for writing and he says he feels different and

Back to school
My son is 10 and has just started 5th grade. He has struggled with ADHD since he was 4. He is also struggling with what I think might be SPD or anxiety. We are treating him for ADHD and anxiety. He does take medication in the morning that should last at least 7 hours, but he is still struggling

Metabolizing XR quickly
Does anyone have a child quickly metabolizing adderall XR? I thought it was supposed to last 6-8 hours but my 80 pound daughter metabolizes 10XR in less than 6 hours requiring another dose of quick acting after school or worse (because she has no appetite) another extended release. Is the dose too

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. Her grades are fine, but she really struggles during her evening activities to the point of falling so far behind that she may not

Hello everyone! I was wondering if any if you are from Mississippi and if you are is CBD oil ok for children to be on in school?

Adderall & Adderall XR
I have been taking Adderall 30 mg, 2 in the am & 1 at noon for years. In November of last year, I went on Medicaid because I am disabled (I have Rheumatoid arthritis, among other things). Medicaid won't pay for my Adderall nor my opioid painkillers. When I explained my problem to my psychiatrist,
