[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 180683, member: 3647"] Hi! My daughter (who was diagnosis'd ADHD and ODD) was given first Metadate and then Focalin. The Metadate made her very weepy, and the Focalin made her angry. There are different reactions to different drugs by different kids. Your child may do just fine on it. The good thing about stims is that they do not remain in the system for long. If you give him the Focalin for a few days, and you notice a bad change, you can stop right away and by the next day it will be out of his system. Medication is something that most of us do not wish for our kids. Sometimes it is necessary. And when dealing with mental issues, a lot of it is trial and error. Best of luck to you! [/QUOTE]
