This medication helped me with focus for school. I previously was unable to get grades above a C and I am currently on the Dean's list working on my bachelors degree in accounting. Side effects experienced have ranged from minimal insomnia to weight loss and loss of appetite. The weight loss and loss of appetite were a blessing. The only bad side effect was increased heart rate while exercising for cardio - I felt like I was having a heart attack thus I needed to alter my workout program to decrease cardio and concentrate on weights and muscle tone. My doctor made this decision for this medication based on my inability to swallow pills and I couldn't be happier with the results. I wish I had been diagnosed years earlier.

My eight year old daughter started the patch in May (she was previously on Concerta for 2 months until she started having trouble swallowing it). She mostly does well but a few days I haven't put it on (trying to give her a break from it since it's summer) but the last few times I've had her off it she's been "zombie-like" which scares me! I'll call the psychiatrist tomorrow to see if ... Show Full Comment

Daytrana, although a patch, should not be taken lightly. Shire Pharmaceuticals has created a sleeping beast that is waiting to be abused in the rave scene. At high amounts (both transdermal and chewing), daytrana creates a euphoria unlike any other drug on the market.

Daytrana, although a patch, should not be taken lightly. Shire Pharmaceuticals has created a sleeping beast that is waiting to be abused in the rave scene. At high amounts (both transdermal and chewing), daytrana creates a euphoria unlike any other drug on the market. It's the consistent energy and speed rush of coke, along with the head high and utter euphoria of ecstasy. Daytrana needs to be controlled FAST otherwise abuse will be mainstream. MPH is a drug not to be taken lightly and should be re-evaluated. On the other side of the spectrum, Daytrana has helped me TREMENDOUSLY! I suffer from ADHD and ADD (associative depressive disorder) and let me tell you, daytrana helps me more than any mood booster and stimulant on the market. It gives me the daily drive to actually WANT to do things no matter how menial it may be. I feel that I'll be able to take whatever the day throws at me and turn it around to produce an absolute masterpiece. If controlled, Daytrana could very well be the "wonder" medicine for those who suffer from depression and also ADHD

Compared to other adhd meds this seems to be the best we've found, however, not perfect. The adhesive causes extreme irritation to the point where the skin is broken. We've been trying to manage that with lotions and making sure the adhesive is removed at night. Some loss of appetite and moodiness, But for now, the best we've found. Daytrana customer service is also very helpful.
