"this is our second month on daytrana for my 5 year old, who used to have many problems in school: getting into trouble, not sitting, hitting other kids, etc... it takes about 2 hrs to kick in but what a difference. he is evenly calm and listens, no violent outbursts or being hateful. he was on focalin xr for 9 mos. too much trouble with capsules, had to grind beads and put in his drinks to drink. having trouble at school to take second dose, he refused. don&#039;t like red skin irritations, putting baby oil, lotion, and neosporin as it is itchy and he scratches, breaking skin. easy to put on at 6 am while he is still sleeping so it can kick in by 8 am when school starts. wonderful!"
