For ADHD "My 8-year-old son has ADHD with an anxiety disorder. We started on Ritalin IR when he was 7, and it was great at first, but his body started metabolizing them quickly. We increased the dose, and then he just became more irritable. We tried Adderall next, which was awful for him. His doctor wanted to either try Concerta or Daytrana. I asked if we could try Daytrana because I had read good reviews. This is the absolute best med we have tried. He has been on the lowest 10 mg patch for over a year. We put him on a prescription called Vayarin over the summer, which is a natural omega-3 phosphatidylserine supplement that fixed the anxiety. He has no issues and is like the other kids now. Thankful for both meds that helped him!"

For ADHD "I was diagnosed with ADD in elementary school. I have taken three different kinds of ADD medication, and Daytrana has worked the best by far! Strattera made me feel weird as a child. Adderall was terrible for me! I was mean and agitated easily, got headaches a lot, just an all-around bad experience for me. I had taken Daytrana in high school and liked it, so when I went home for Christmas break from my first semester at college and told my mom I wanted back on medication, I quit taking Adderall, but needed something bad! I went back on Daytrana, have been on it for a year and a half now, and I made the Athletic Presidential Honor Roll for my conference! Daytrana = miracle and a yes for all ADD people!"

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."
