"my son almost 6 started on daytrana right around 5 yrs old. we went from half a 10mg patch to a whole 10mg patch.
really it&#039;s whatever we need that day. it does work. 
positives for us: concentration improved, attitude solid.
negatives: if we leave the patch on from 8-6, we are up until 2 or 3 am if we do not give melatonin to help sleep. appetite severely decreases on medicine, days without medicine he&#039;s eating like a horse.

overall the medicine has more positives than negatives, i just would like more understanding on how as a parent to be able to handle all this."
