Can She Use the Daytrana Patch Again? | ADHD Information

My 17-year old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 10 years old and successfully used Concerta until last year when it appeared to stop working. She tried Adderall, which was a disaster! In June her doctor recommended the Daytrana patch. It worked very well. However, after about a month she started having problems with the patch. After she would take the patch off the redness would not go away for several days. Two of the patch areas swelled. She rotated the patch, used Eucerin several times a day, but it did not improve. The doctor told her to stop using the patch. She is now taking a combination of Ritalin LA and the short acting Ritalin to give her the coverage she needs. The combination appears to be working. She was very disappointed because, apart from the skin reaction, the patch was the best thing she had used - even better than the Concerta. It offered her a lot of flexibility and she didn't need to worry about a second dose of medicine to get her through the evening. My question is, has anyone taken a break from the patch, let the skin heal, and try to use it again a few months later?
