Guest guest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 My 5yr old has been on it since May 2004. What would you like to know? It is a short acting ritalin and in the purest forms. It has the inert ingredients removed. MISSY SAHM to some special kids!!!

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 With school out and his current pee-pee problems, we're going to see how my son does without it. We saw our son's psychologist today and he also said Focalin is a stimulant. At the end of the day as the medication wears off, patients can become irritable or feel angry easily. I have noticed that my son is as silly and too serious about things when he's on it. I wonder if could be contributing to his unrealistic perfectionism. > > > > > > I'm not familiar with focalin; what does that do > > for your son?
