"my 10-year son has adhd (combined) and odd. focalin xr so far is the only medication that works on my son&#039;s inattentiveness. however, on 15 mg he was very moody and glassy eyed. found out later that he was overmedicated. what i didn&#039;t like about focalin was that he became very quiet almost zombie like. also, the medication did not last in his system long enough. he stopped takes focalin xr over a year now and has been on vyvanse (70mg.) i am considering putting him back on focalin with a lower dose."
