Focalin XR vs Ritalin LA | ADHD Information

Share

We started our son on Focalin XR and after 3 weeks, we changed him to Ritalin LA and have seen much better results. I didn't like the affects that the Focalin was having on him, he was really really whinning and was extra sensitive of noises.

my son is on Ritalin La 40mgs daily, he started off with only 20mgs and it started wearing off around 12:00, so the doctors upt his dose...ever since then he is violent,and just down right mean.I don't know what to do.would you consider taking him off it - or lessening the dose as it seems
to be disturbing him? Has anyone used Ritalin LA and switched to Focalin XR and if so what differences have you experienced?  My son takes Ritalin LA and I keep hearing that the Focalin XR is better.  Does anyone have experience with this?
