[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 427853, member: 3930"] We did Focalin xr 5 mg for the first 3 mos. Then Adderall xr 10 mg for 18 mos. Then went to Vyvanse. I don't think our pediatrician really titrated it right. We started off at 20 mg and it did nothing. The next month we increased it to 30 mg but my notes don't really mention anything. We increased it to 40 mg the following month and it was too much. Per my notes, this is what we experienced: Daily headaches, dizzy, thrashes cries out hits self while asleep, emotional outbursts, crying, aggression/hostility, stealing/lying, fear* *Fear of going places in house alone (bathroom, bedroom, garage, etc.) It is so hard to know how your child will respond to it though. Everyone is different. And what works today may not work tomorrow, etc. So much fun huh? So after Focalin, Adderall, Vyvanse, Brightspark (naturopathic), and then back to Adderall -- we went to Concerta. Then Concerta with Intuniv. The first time we tried Intuniv we thought we were having horrible side effects - but then 3 mos later we tried it again and didn't see anything we saw the first time around. We are about to increase the Intuniv to 3 mg and I don't know what to expect, but it is clear the combo he is on now is not as effective as it once was. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
