In response to Slow Acting.... Sleeping posted by mom0611:

we have not started the patch, YET. My 6 year old has been on everydrug possible, low low doses. Like opening the focalin xr, and dividing it into 3 doses. he has food allergies and is constanly wild, driven by a semi truck motor I think. LOL. Yes, laugh, but it really takes a toll on your marriage and family life. My 12 year old is doing great, but adjusting our 6 year old has been hector!! I would like to try the patch, because Dr. says we can cut it as small as we need to to adjust it to him. It sounds like you all have to take it off quite early to get these little kiddies to bed eh? any other huge side affects?
I know every one is different,obviously.
today I am tolerating him on natural remedies,but,hes still running. we homeschool our 4 children, so were always together...its hard to like these
attitudes.
