Focalin ADHD Treatment

Focalin is a type of  Ritalin that contains only the more active d-isomer of methylphenidate. The l-isomer, which is essentially inert, is left out. Because of this, the  usual dose of Focalin is half that of Ritalin. However, since what was left out was largely inert, your adhd child gets the same amount of active amphetamine. There is really nothing new in this drug.

Side Effects of Focalin

Adverse events reported from Focalin are typical of other amphetamines used to treat ADHD. They include stomach pain, fever, anorexia and nausea abnormal heartbeat, abnormal muscular movements, allergic reactions including skin rash, anemia, blood pressure changes, blood vessel inflammation or blockage in the brain, chest pain, depression, dizziness, drowsiness, emotional instability marked by abnormal thinking or hallucinations, hair loss, headache, hives, joint pain, palpitations, purplish skin spots or bruises, severe skin rash, skin inflammation with peeling, Tourette's syndrome, and vomiting.

There is a highly effective treatment alternative to Focalin

For over 35 years I have worked with ADHD children and their families. Having been an  ADHD child myself, I have a personal interest in this area.

Current explanations of the disorder never fit my experience or the children I saw. It always seemed contradictory that children who could not attend to school work could play computer games for hours, though both activities use the same areas of the brain. This stimulated years of  research and rethinking  of ADHD theory and treatment.  From this I developed my new (patented) and highly effective, drug free, Computer Aided Emotional Restructuring (CAER) treatment  and wrote my book, ADHD: A Path to Success to explain it. Learn how ADHD is not a defect, deficit or a disorder, but a highly skilled short-term defense mechanism that backfires in the long-run. Read more than 40 Amazon.com “customer reviews” of my book and treatment.   The most typical response when people read the book is “That makes so much more sense than anything else I have read”, “You describe my child exactly”.

It will empower you  an optimistic lens that will forever change how you see your child and his problems.
