my son has been on every one of those meds!.!.!. right now we are trying vyvanse, but he was on focalin for awhile and he did fine!.!.!. we keep changing meds on him because one kind will work for awhile and then we need to increase the dose or try something else!.!.!. they've all pretty much got the same side effects!.!.!. loss of appetite, weight loss, irritability, etc!.!.!.!.!. i totally dont judge you, ive got 3 kids with adhd !.!.!.!. they need the help!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

some snippets from my nursing drug guide you may or may not already know:

used for: ADHD
mechanism: blocks reuptake of norepi and dopamine aka increases norepi and dopamine

poss side effects: fever, insomnia, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, throat pain, dry mouth, nausea, abd pain, nervous tics

don't take w/ antacids

don't give to kids with seizures, anxiety, severe depression

can suppress growth in children--monitor for proper weight/height changes and stop drug if child legs behind

probably all the same stuff on the info with the pills!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This drug is kind of new!. I'm on it myself!. It is alot like Ritalin except you don't need as much of it to work!. Wiki it!. It lasts around ten hours and makes the user (or abuser, so be careful) feel less robotic but more focused than when on ritalin or adderal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I took it it realy helped the only real side effects is depression but that was because the dose was to high


i think this is one of the better medsWww@Answer-Health@Com
