Sue,
If these effects are happening in the evening after her meds wear off, I 'd suggest talking to her doctor about Focalin XR. Since it is an extended release, it lasts about 8 hours compared to the 4 hours you get with the normal Focalin. Also, mention to him/her the effects you've listed here and see if he thinks maybe she should take the meds just a little bit later than she is already. The problem is you have to be careful not to give them too late because Focalin tends to cause insomnia since it is a stimulant. Good luck and God bless.
