Anyone use Methylin (generic for Ritalyn) on their kid? If so, how did you like it?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It works to a point, but the side effects are almost not worth it. (debatable of course)

My nephew used Ritalyn and he lived with me for a while, and I didn't find it overly useful for him. I eventually spoke with him mom and he discontinued its usage. Instead, we got him involved in sports, and it seemed staying active ran off most of his extra energy.

I have a daughter that is 5 and when she started school, she had a very hard time with staying focused in school. We took her to a doc. and he gave her Vyvance. I was worried about side effects, but tried it anyways. She did a complete 180. She was able to focus on learning, by the end of the year she was top in her class and very proud of her accomplishments. I can honestly say it made a world of difference in her life for the better. I don't want to have her on it very long but it did help her pass kindergarten.

When it was used she did not sleep. Little quirks started as well like clicking her tongue and staring. Pulled off and now uses Concerta. I use Concerta myself. I feel it helps but I could go off of it at any time and be fine.
