We took our 5.5 YO off the patch today. The skin irritation was so bad the Dr. was concerned about eventual scarring! This works so well - what a shame!
Trying Focalin XR - wish us luck!

This patch is the best thing ever. As for skin irritation, there has been a little but it seems minor compared to the side effects my 7 year old son had with Adderall. He stopped growing for a whole year and lost a third of his body weight. It also killed his appetite completely causing excess stomach acid to ulcerate his esophagus and stomach. You just have to weigh the benefit against the side effects. Since this medication doesn't go through his stomach, it isn't causing those problems. So, the skin irritation is relatively minor since we can treat it with hydrocortisone cream over the counter.

My doctor also suggested placing the patch in the fridge to help make the back remove easier. Since doing so, I have noticed that the patch has absolutely no effect on my child. Before, I could see some change in behavior. I do think that the makeup of the medication does change. I have sent a message to the company, but have not received any response.

» mj22345 - nausea and headaches
In response to nausea and headaches posted by guat2:
Only that one time did he talk about feeling motion sick. He actually did get sick when I was driving him home that night. Since that time, however, I have found that quite possibly my doctor may have misprescribed the dosage level on the patch for my son. When he was in the trial he had 10 mg dosage (a tiny little patch). When I got the prescritpion my doctor ordered, it was for 30 mg. Not knowing that my son had only had 10 mg before, I didn't question it. However, after calling the research facility where my son originally tried the patch, they informed me that headaches and nausea are/could be symptoms of too high of a dosage. It causes your blood pressure to rise - causing headaches, pain behind the eyes, and nausea.

I'm just curious, because I haven't had a problem -- but is everyone that is having a problem seeing it with the lowest dosage level patch - 10 mg. That is what my son took during the research study and we did have a problem with the backing. The higher dosage level patches don't seem to have that problem. They are much larger and cut down the middle, so all you have to do is peel off one side, stick it on, then peel off the other side.
