[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 633705, member: 6235"] I can't comment on the dosage issue as both my boys used the patch but at different dosages. The patch worked well for both my boys but there was some negatives. The biggest negative was the amount of time it took for the medication to get into their system. I would put the patch on at 6:00 am and it still hadn't "kicked in" as they walked out the door for school. I seemed to take about 3 hours to start working. We then added a short acting medication to help with the mornings. Oh, and remember, as long as it takes for the medication to get into the body through the skin, it also takes a long time to exit their system. We took the patch off about 4:00 pm so it would not have a big impact on their dinner & sleep. The reason we stopped using the patch was due to skin damage. Despite moving the adhesion site around, the adhesive was really hard on their skin. As for taking a pill, we practiced with mini M & M which were about the size of the Focalin XR medication that we switched to after using the patch. [/QUOTE]
