[QUOTE="4Tall, post: 678183, member: 18917"] My older son takes Focalin XR and has been on it for several years. It really helps with his ADHD. It definitely impacts his appetite. On school days, he eats breakfast before taking the Focalin XR, otherwise he wouldn't eat. He isn't hungry for lunch and doesn't get hungry until around 7 pm. Then he is REALLY hungry. On the weekend he wakes up around 8 am to take the Focalin XR and a granola bar, then goes back to bed to sleep in. Last year he was doing some "rebounding" from 4 pm until he finally got hungry for dinner around 7 pm. The psychiatric did prescribe an afternoon dose of short-acting Adderal to counteract this. He has a diagnosis of bipolar, so he has always had some difficulty falling asleep at night & waking up in the morning. So I couldn't tell you if the Focalin XR affected his sleep. [/QUOTE]
