[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 86475, member: 3184"] My son was able to tolerate Daytrana once he was stable on mood stabilizers. In all honesty, he is still a little hyper and has problems focusing, but things are so much better. I think he does better with Daytrana due to the way the medications are released from a transdermal patch. They are released in a measured amount every hour, and with time release pills, there is usually a large percentage dumped into the system in the first hour, and the rest is dumped in later. For my son, this was too much stimulant at one time. What I have noticed is that it is very apparent when we need to increase the Lamictal, as he gets very sensitive and moody in the evenings. We have only done this once. I have noticed huge improvements in impulsivity, and also more emotional empathy and he's just plain old reasonable. He still gets in trouble, but he is a kid and what kid doesn't? I never thought he would be able to be on stims and be stable. [/QUOTE]
