| Hi, I have a similar story of my own. My little girl who is now eight was diagnosed last year with adhd/innatentive type.Like you I didnt want to put her medication right away so tryed play therapy. She loved her counselor and it worked for a little while. As the school year went on she became very distracted. Homework took us two to three hours every evening. I couldnt imagine what she was going through if it was that hard on me how must it feel to her. I finely decided to talk with her docter. We put her on a low dose of focilinxr. It was unbelievable the change I seen in her. She actually told me herself "the medicine helps mommy". I knew I made the right decision. The dr told me that children her age are usually on 30-40mg. My little girl is on 10. I am so proud that we were able to get the exact help she needed. Home work is so much easier now. She has always been such a sweet little girl, now she is a sweet big girl that can tell me her needs. ↑ |

| Well, we tried the Daytrana Patch with our son for 3 days in a row and not sure of some things. If anyone out there has used it with their children, did you find that once the patch is removed, there is an increse in hyper-activity for about an hour after removed? Also, anyone's child report a tingling sensation around their jaw line? We have two more weeks of testing this patch before school and/or uping dosage. I"m real interested in any experiences with Daytrana users. Thanks! ↑ |

| HI! I HAVE BEEN READING ALL THE INFO I CAN FIND ON INATTENTIVE AD/HD AND I AM CERTAIN THAT MY SON HAD THIS DISORDER. HE IS A VERY BRIGHT AND INTELLIGENT 14 YR OLD. AND WHEN I CAME ACROSS AN ARTICLE ON THE WEB SITE AT WWW.GOASKMOM.COM, IT WAS SAYING, IS THE YOUR KID ? WHO PUT THE KETCHUP IN THE MEDICINE CABINET? IS YOUR CHILD LABLED LAZY, UNMOTIVATED, SLACKER, A DAY DREAMER, HIS TEACHERS HAVE ALWAYS SAID HE JUST IN NOT WORKING TO HIS FULL POTENTIAL. I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE A LIGHT WENT OFF OVER MY HEAD THIS IS MY SON. WE HAVE AN APPT WITH HIS DOCTOR IN TWO WEEKS AND I HOPE SHE FINDS THE RIGHT TREATMENT FOR HIM. ANY COMMENTS OR INFO WOULD BE WELCOMED. ↑ |

Hi Mike's mom,
I'm so glad I went to this site and was able to hear
Your story. I have a 9 year old who has ADHD
(inattentive type), too. He's been diagnose with it for
UA couple of weeks, now. He was seeing a counseler
For a year, before the official diagnosis, but she says she
Doesn't think there's much more her therapy could do, so
We're looking at meds now.
