Feeling down
My son has been on Focalin XR and Guanfacine ER for about four months. Things improved somewhat as the daily phone calls from the school stopped; however the incidents he has had seem to feel more dangerous. He tried to hurt another child at school on Friday and had to be picked up. His outbursts are

Daughter Diagnosed with ADHD, any tips/stories with similar situations are welcomed?!
My 6 year old Daughter just got diagnosed with ADHD(combined type). She doesn't have any behavior issues, she's a sweet, well mannered little girl. She does have trouble focusing at school, at home she does a little better as she is an only child but I cant say I struggle with her AT ALL. I'm very hesitant

Xeljanx XR and Hep C
After failing quite a few biologics, my Rheumy is starting me on
Xeljanz
XR
. I have not received the shingles (not live) vaccination yet so keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get them. My biggest concern is that is can reactivate Hep C ... has anyone taken Xeljanz and had it reactive it?

Kid acts nutty at md office visits
I know this is part of her adhd and anxiety but this makes my anxiety go full throttle. My 11 y.o will need to have a tooth removed because it's not coming out on it's own and causing some issues. She went berserk at the thought of having it removed and she would seriously have to be sedated (can they

Refusal to complete schoolwork. Help?
I'm new here and am desperate need for support. My 7 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD last year. He is currently taking Focalin XR 10mg and Escalitopran 5mg (for anxiety). At home, with friends, and family, he is a pleasant, sweet, smart, inquisitive child, and listens to adults. At school, it's

Feeling defeated
Well I posted about 5 months ago. My 9 year was on Adderall Xr at that time and tenex. We realized that the xr was giving him mood swings so we went back on the regular Adderall. The last 2 months my sons attitude has changed he has gotten very nasty and getting in trouble with other kids on the bus

Newbee parent of 11 y/o boy w/ Adhd combined type
Hi all! I am a single parent of an 11 year old boy with ADHD combined type. He currently takes 25mg of Focalin XR every morning. I would appreciate advice on what other parents are doing regarding problematic home behaviors. Within the last month he started pulling out his hair on his head and eyebrows

13 year old girl ADHD new to Adderall XR
My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive) 3 years ago. She has an IEP and accommodations and was succeeding with some difficulty on this path until 8th grade. School became a struggle and her grades dropped fairly drastically. She just started Adderall XR 15 mg, taking half a pill. I'm wondering

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

Xeljanz / Tofacitinib
Doctor just switched me to Xeljanz I’m supposed to start Saturday & I’m feeling anxious. I was on Leflunomide / Arava since October but I have been flaring to frequently so doctor thought it was best to switch to a biologic. On the Leflunomide I also noticed I lost a lot of hair. I was very nervous

We finally started the Focalin XR...
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

Tofacitinib - Xeljanz update 3 months on...
I was prescribed Tofacitinib after exhausting quite a few biologics first; Certolizumab, Etanercept, Tocilizumab and Rixtuximab, are some of the ones I remember! I must admit I was a bit dubious about taking Tofacitinib at first, especially as it was a newly licensed drug and my consultant, rather

Xeljanz
Can anybody share experience with Xeljanz? My doctor wants me to try it seeing Enbrel isn't working as well as he would like?

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

Rheumatoid arthritis
Hi all, I have had rheumatoid arthritis for 36 years and was on arava 20mg xeljanz twice a day prednisolone 3mg daily and methotrexate 15mg. I have stopped the arava and the xeljanz because I have recently been put on medication for high blood pressure. I am keen to see if that is what is causing it
