"my daughter was diagnosed with adhd a few years ago (she&#039;s 13 now) and was on adderall xr 25 mg for a few years. she was never hungry and had a hard time sleeping. we switched her to adzenys xr 12.5 (lower than her adderall dose equivalent). it doesn&#039;t seem to last as long -- but then again it&#039;s not as strong. the good thing is her appetite is back and she doesn&#039;t have trouble sleeping. she also doesn&#039;t complain about not feeling like herself (she is usually a pretty happy kid, but complained the adderall made her withdrawn). she&#039;s doing fairly good in school, though she has some learning challenges in some areas. although she&#039;s only been on it a few months, i am relatively happy with the results."
