Okay. This is my very first post so here it goes. Anyhow, my son is 8-1/2 and has been diagnosed with ADHD for about 3 years now. He’s on meds which we can't seem to find one that doesn't make him lose weight, act spacey, zone, etc. I wish that we could find something that lets him be his funny self but also allows him to focus. To date we've tried, adderal, ritalin xr, wellbuterin, stattera and now focalin. The first 2 hours of focalin are great, the next 2 hours he's very quiet and zones and the next 1 hour after that he's great. We are looking forward to the extended release coming out in July. He's very active and does sports so the meds naturally wear off quicker or so I'm told.
