For ADHD "My 7-year-old son has been on the 15 mg patch going on his 4th month now, and it has been a Godsend. He went from a C and D student at the start of the school year to an almost straight A student at the end. I have found that if I use adhesive remover and put a little lotion on the site after removal, it manages the irritation. It definitely affects his appetite, but no more so than any of the other medications that he has been on. Night and day difference for us."

For ADHD "I call this my miracle. It saved my sanity. We weren't having success with anything! Wow! Love this patch! A young girl went from running around the house getting into one thing after another to finally being able to sit down and play video games. Side effects - she could just peel it off! Itching where applied seems to subside the longer you wear it. Gets red, irritated in that spot. Alternate hips. No appetite until the medicine wore off. I served breakfast at 4 am to get 3 meals a day. Dinner 1 1/2 - 2 hours after removing the patch and lunch, if you want to call it that, around 8 am. It was worth it to me to save my sanity. The patch does take 2 hours to kick in. Lasts well over an hour after you remove it. Left on longer than recommended on many occasions."

For ADHD "LOVE the way this medicine works. We could just leave it on a little longer to get through homework time! BUT the irritation was just too much for her skin. She had raised welts/sores for several weeks after discontinuing the meds."
