For ADHD "Vyvanse was too expensive, and insurance didn't cover it. I had a coupon for Adzenys. $50.00 a month with a coupon. Both did well at controlling my anxiety related to ADD. I focus a good 8 hours with Adzenys. The packaging is a pain to open. It tastes really good, and I've had NO dry mouth! Makes me wonder how I made it without saliva the previous year."

For ADHD "Simply the best. The only side effect of this med is increased concentration and dry mouth :). It doesn't make me feel like my heart is racing or that my blood pressure is up. I'm really happy with this med. I had a hard time sticking with Concerta and other off-brands, and I didn't like any of the Adderall products. Since starting this, I haven't missed a single dose."

For ADHD "At first, this medication worked great. Now I noticed a couple of side effects: soreness in legs, increased urination, but worst of all was the increased agitation and dry mouth. On the plus side, the medication works better than other ADHD medications on the market. It has increased focus and helped level off my energy. I built up a fast tolerance using the 9.3 mg. I have only taken it for two months, hopefully, it keeps working!"

For ADHD "I'm on day 2 of Adzenys. I like that I take it once. But the texture is gritty once dissolved. It's a dissolvable pill, so what do you expect? I do experience dry mouth and a slight decrease in appetite, but it's nothing serious. My doctor started me on a pediatric dose of 6.3 milligrams once a day. Another problem I see is that I'm having a hard time falling asleep. It could be because I take the medication around 11 o'clock in the morning, but that's the time I get up. So it's honestly too early for me to tell. We will see once I get a routine going and school starts again."

For ADHD "This medication works so well for me and my family. Easy to take, easy to transport, and little to no side effects. A little dry mouth initially, but after a week or so, that cleared up. For only $25, it can't be beat."

For ADHD "My son is 11, and we have tried multiple medications since he first started school. I was doing my best to avoid a stimulant medication, but after years of him dealing with nausea from his non-stimulant, we decided to try something new. From day one, we were able to see a difference. He was more focused and had little trouble staying on task. No nausea at all! He also takes a mood stabilizer to counteract the side effects of mood swings he's suffered with stimulants before. Because of our schedule, he takes it around 5 a.m. every day, but it seems to wear off by noon. He's still moody, but I have trouble making out if his moods are from the meds, puberty, the fact that his dad just left for a year deployment, or a mix of it all. We have noticed he had an issue with a dry and sore throat. He has no issues until after he takes it in the morning. Overall, it's better than the non-stimulant meds, but I'm still pretty uncomfortable that he's taking an amphetamine medication."
