[quote=Anonymous]My son, who just turned 7, takes 10 mg. of Focalin XR. He started on 5 mg. a few months ago and then boosted up to 10 mg. When he first started taking Focalin, the difference was immediate but then after a few weeks it didn't seem to help anymore. That's when the doctor increased his dose. We're going back to the doctor soon, and I think she will increase it again. It's still helping, but not as much as before and it's wearing off in the early afternoon, which doesn't get him through the entire school day and makes homework difficult. He might have to try a different medication to see how it works. Focalin has been his first try at ADHD meds. The doctor told us that different meds work best for different kids. Sometimes you have to try several to find the one that works best.[/quote]
