ADHD
"My 7yr old daughter was having a horrible time focusing in school and was very overweight. The doctor started her on Metadate 20mg and had to eventually move her up to 50mg a day. It worked great, she lost the weight and focused great in school until this year. She went to a new school and the days are a little longer. The teacher and I noticed that the medicine was not working as well as it used to and was wearing off before the end of the day! The doctor said that she could not up the dose because 50mg was the maximum and wouldn&#039;t let the school give a second dose so she has switched her to Adderell XR and it worked great but she can&#039;t sleep. I miss the Metadate and am thinking about getting a second opinion."
