Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I've seen and testimonials about kids doing great on Focalin. Unfortunately Focalin seemed to increase my son's autistic behaviors, anxiety, repetitive comments, hyperfocus, etc. We gave it to him for only two days and he was clearly miserable... so were we. I guess the effectiveness of medication depends on the patient. Good Luck!! Does anyone have any experience w/Focalin XR(form of extended release Ritalin)...?

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 My child did not eat much with it but it improved his attention and grades. Concerta XR worked much better.
