My 15 yr old son started taking Focalin approximately 13 days ago for ADD; he also takes prozac for depression. Yesterday, all of his depression symptoms returned and I'm wondering if this was brought on by the focalin. Has anyone else's child experienced depression from focalin? ↓

both of my stepsons are on focalin. and they don't have that kind of problem, some medications counter act each other. maybe that is what is happening ↑

My 13 almost 14 year old son has experienced the same thing. I'm wondering if it is the focalin. He was doing much better with just the prozac. What did you find out? ↑
