"i have a nine year old son who was diagnosed with adhd at the age of six. we tried focalin first and it made him extremely weepy. a month later we tried vyvanse and had a good experience with it for three years. there was a major rebound effect but we felt lucky to have some relief from symptoms for the hours that we did and dealt with the negatives. we moved from ca to a high altitude state and his meds went haywire. we tried strattera for two months and he had a stable mood but zero focus. we started concerta two weeks ago and are extremely happy. we aren&#039;t dealing with an afternoon rebound!!!! he is pleasant. he can focus. we are hopeful that the good will continue. i suggest trying this drug or another one if you aren&#039;t 100% satisfied."
