20mg
Helps him focus at school but his grades are still horrible due to his refusal to follow directions.
Working / Worked
Works great, but he is allergic to the patch itself.
Working / Worked
miracle drug for us.
Working / Worked
Works well but takes too long to start. If put on too early, son won't eat breakfast and it kills appetite for lunch so he needs his breakfast!
Working / Worked
worked for 2 hrs max then would wear off; patch fell off; extreme mood swings and throwing fits
Working / Worked
but the patch hurt his skin
Working / Worked
Working great in school I'm thankful for that, however it's a 9 hr patch so it comes off at 4:30 daily, less than 3 hrs after that he's hyper, argumentative, disobeying.
Working / Worked
it worked for him until he grew a toalorance and there wasnt a high dose.
Working / Worked
downside is the patch drys the skin out. My son scratched himself to the point of bleeding at times.
