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

I'm a Newbie...A little about my journey..& A request for advice!
Hello all, I'm new here and I think I've found my happy place. It's so nice to have a safe place to ask questions, share stories or just to be understood. I just turned 50 (a very young non-menopausal 50 LOL). Here is my story, in kindergarten my teacher said I was a social butterfly, in first (and

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

Hi everyone, my name is jenni, I’m a 31yo single mom with an amazing 4yo son.

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

Trileptal-Any Experience?
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

Work issue
Hello! I'm new here so here goes! I was removed from a position at work because I mistakenly took me son's medicine. You see I'm a driver and am subject to random drug screening. I take Ritalin LA and my son takes Adderall XR. One morning I took his by mistake and had a test at work and didn't realize

Adderall XR - Excessive talking, crying, sleep issues
My 5 y/o son was diagnosed with ADHD (primarily hyperactivity) last week. We started on Adderall XR 5mg on Saturday; didn't see much difference. Upped it to 10mg on Sunday and sent him to school on Monday on 10mg. Teacher didn't see difference. Upped it to 15mg on Tuesday and he could NOT sit still
