My son has been on Daytrana patch since February. He currently is at 20 mg. I feel like it is not working at all. He is more irritable, aggressive and impulsive. He cannot swallow pills due to sensory issues. We previously tried Focalin XR (he kept chewing the beads) and Vyvanse (increased tics). I was wondering about Methylin as it comes in a liquid or chewable or Dextroamphetamine which also comes in a liquid. Anyone have any experience with these???? Thanks!
My son can not take stimulants for his ADHD, He takes Kapvay, which is just an extended release version of Clonidine. He takes it along with Risperdone to help with his tantrums and meltdowns. I have to say it helps with the hyper part but not as great for the attentioin but it is enough he has improved greatly in school and is now in an inclusion type class.
My child has been on adderal for 10 years and risperdone it works well for her
my son took Concerta for ADD, and I swear it did little to help him, and he soon started having an increase in tics. I took him off the drug and he now takes Tyrosine and Theanine (amino acids) prescribed by the Naturapath for focus and calming of the body and it has helped.
Yes very much
Does the Kapvay help him sleep like the Clonidine?
