[QUOTE="SheilaC, post: 6723, member: 3325"] I too understand your challenges. Wow, it is sure nice to know we are not alone. 5mg of Focalin is just getting started. My 4yo difficult child is on 40 mg and she only weighs 34 pounds!!! Just some info about Focalin. It works great for our other difficult child but the psychiatrist was explaining some things for us. Focalin has only a four hour release and it releases in a kind of bell curve. Even Focalin XR works the same but if it is a 10 mg XR it is releasing only 5 mg every four hours but because of the bell curve there are periods of highs and lows. Concerta XR has a pump system within it that gives medication over a much more even keel. For us though I children didn't respond to Concerta. It is all a trial and error process. Just keep trying to you find something that works. [/QUOTE]
