My daughter has been taking Metadata CD 30mgs for the last year. It works great. U can tell when it kicks in and when it wears off ,usually around 4:30 it's very hard for her to do homework independently.

My 16yr old son has adhd and autism. He has been taking this drug for 5yrs. It helps him focus and concentrate better, but is no miracle drug for him. He still struggles with completing tasks. He has trouble falling asleep so I give him Melatonin @8pm and he is usually asleep @10 and sleeps all night. He has no appetite during the day.

My 16yr old son has adhd and autism. He has been taking this drug for 5yrs. It helps him focus and concentrate better, but is no miracle drug for him. He still struggles with completing tasks. He has trouble falling asleep so I give him Melatonin @8pm and he is usually asleep @10 and sleeps all night. He has no appetite during the day. He is very thin and I wonder if it has slowed his growth. At 16 his friends have outgrown him by 6inches+ and several shoe sizes. We come from bigger ppl so he seems abnormally small by comparison. Socially he is friendly but quiet. He makes little to no effort to socialize outside of school, preferring instead to spend hours on the computer or video games or reading alone. I don't usually give him the meds on vacations. During those times he is more outgoing, social, active, playful, funny, and hungry. lol. He has told me that he wants to take the meds because it helps him think. So I will continue to give it.

My 12 year old daughter has been on Metadate 40 mg one per day for about 3 months and it seems to work well for her. We are still experiencing days when she isn't able to sit still or stop talking (most of the time jumping from one subject to the next,without finishing).

I am taking Metadate CD 30mg 2 a day. I have found out that this dosage works for me. It helps me stay focused throughout the day. I have tried other meds before this one and they did not work for me. Metadate is the only one that I have used that works well. I have no loss of appetite when I take it. I am more focused then ever!

My daughter began taking 10mg July 2011 and is now on 20mg based on height/weight. I have read several reviews about the bad effects of Metadate.

My daughter began taking 10mg July 2011 and is now on 20mg based on height/weight. I have read several reviews about the bad effects of Metadate. The drug is only good for 10-11 hrs and then it loses its effectiveness (as with all drugs). I know when Metadate is no longer working for the day and YES it is usually done with by the time my daughter gets home from school. Jekyle and Hyde, but its doable. Calming/breathing exercises. Before Metadate my daughter was having severe problems in school. Aggression, emotional outburst, etc. Since being on Metadate she is more focused, is excelling, there have been zero behavioral issues in school (aside from talking). I don't want my daughter to be on a drug for the rest of her life, but for right now...this works. She sees a therapist, has a behavioral coach and has been given tools to assist her in making better choices so that she can get off the drug.
