Q: My son has been on adderall 30 mg for some time and it stopped working so they switched him to vyvanse 30 mg, it isn't working at all now they want to try focalin. Is focalin as good as adderall?
No, it's not as good. If his dr. won't help you, seek another. My adderall stopped working as good after period also. My Dr. raised me from 30 mgs a day, to 50. I also take wellbutrin with it. That combination has been a godsend for me. Every is different. My son took 5 different Dr.s before he found one who finally came up with right combination for HIM. DO NOT stop untill all is well. I was 56 yrs. old before I got it right. Hind sight is 20/20. Best of luck. God bless
