Once Cordia started taking this medicine it helped extremely she was able to concentrate at school her grades briefly improved but then got worse as time went on we are still trying this medicine to see if we can just find the right dosage to help her.

Have had ADHD all of my life but recently began treatment in addition to treatments for BP
One month on but it seems to be really working still adjusting dosage
My 6 yr old has been on this med for 3 yrs. I hate using the term miracle drug but this has saved mine and my other childrens lives. my 6 yr old physically cannot sit or controll himself without it.
It worked very well, however I did not want my son taking prescription medication. I took him off of it this summer and now we are trying "Attentive Child." It is too soon to tell, but I will let everyone know.
This has been our only Rx and I seriously don't believe that my son could function without it. No side effects that I can tell but he has been on it for several years now.
