[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 30864, member: 1498"] Ritalin and Focalin are not equal strength. The highest recommended doses of Ritalin for children over six (it isn't approved for children under six) is 60 mg; for adults it's 80 mg. When your son was taking 80 mg of Ritalin, he was taking 1.33 times the highest recommended dose for children and the same as the recommended dose for adults. Taking 30 mg of Focalin he is taking 1.5 times the highest recommended dose for adults. He's taking more medication now than he was at the higher dose of Ritalin. [/QUOTE]
