I was put on Metadate about a year ago 20mg 2 times a day. It helps me focus on what i need to do such as my school work. I have seen a difference in getting things I need to get done done. I only take one a day because I do not like the way two of them make me feel. I have lost a lot of weight because of this drug. I would say that is one of the biggest down falls about this drug.

I only take one a day because I do not like the way two of them make me feel. I have lost a lot of weight because of this drug. I would say that is one of the biggest down falls about this drug. I have no appetite anymore and I have to make myself eat when I take it. I get dry mouth all the time as well. Over all this drug has helped me in school, work and daily things.

At the beginning this drug was great I actually didn't start taking meds until high school for my adhd. I am a senior in college now at a very highly ranked college and have found that even with an increased dose the metadate is not working. I do not know if it is my diet now or my lack of exercise because my sport season is over and it is finals but I am finding it very hard to focus on anything ... Show Full Comment

I do not know if it is my diet now or my lack of exercise because my sport season is over and it is finals but I am finding it very hard to focus on anything and I feel extremely slugish. I am going to stop taking my 40mg over break to try and see if that helps especially with foggy mind feeling I get

My son just stared Metadate CD 10mg once a day 3 days ago. Too soon to make any true evaluation yet. However I have noticed the beginnings of mood swings, and the "zombie" stare. Not to thrilled. Was wondering if anyone had height growth rate problems with their child while on Metadate. When he was on Vyvanse one of the main reasons we took him off was beacuse he was 7 years old and people thought he was 4 years old. No growth in height and SEVERE weight loss. I know the height issue is a minor concern compared to the other major side effects, but in a childs mind it is HUGE and contributes to the problem.
