Dylan had tried Metadate because at the time he couldn't swallow the Concerta tabs, and the Metadate could be sprinkled. It was a nice feature.
Didn't work for him, but he's Bipolar. But yeah, same thing as the other stims, Ritalin, Concerta, etc.
psychiatrist and I discussed adding a stimulant again just tonight. I wanted to remove the antipsychotic (Abilify) but he refused. If we do a stimulant, with the BiPolar (BP), he is insisting he keep the mood stabilizer (Lithium) and Abilify in place, or it's a no go.
Glad it's working.
