For ADHD "Oldest son (now 11 1/2) known to us (and teachers) to have ADHD by 5 years of age. Did not want him on medicines, but by 2nd grade, he was not able to work to his potential. Tried Focalin. Made my sweet, funny child nauseous and zombie-like. We both cried every morning while he took it. Tried for 2 months, said, 'forget it, not worth it.' Next 4 years - no medicines at all, just great teachers and a LOT of work to keep his grades/other issues with ADD on track as best we could. EXTREMELY difficult, especially for him to maintain/not stay stressed out at school/doing homework/projects/sports. Middle school began this year. Too much to handle without something. Began DAYTRANA-10 mg at Christmas. Works wonders for him! No side effects except less appetite!"

For ADHD "This medicine has me really confused. My 7-year-old has ADHD and usually has really good control on meds. Concerta always worked really well, but we couldn't go any higher on the dose. Everything else wears off before he is home from school. We tried the Daytrana to see if he would have some control through the bus ride home. The confusing part is, it's helping a lot with the hyperactivity, but not at all with focus. He's actually always done well in school, but now his teacher says he just wanders around the classroom. Anyone else ever had this experience?"

For ADHD "Daytrana really helped with my ADD, as it is a time-release patch rather than a pill, and the pills don't usually keep me medicated long enough. I process them too fast. So the patches work great. Minimal skin irritation. However, it may have caused some kind of dependency issue. Because I now rely on the Daytrana to help me focus, I find it difficult to focus without it, to the point of being unmotivated and grumpy if I don't apply the patch. But nothing major."
