"My 7yo son has had ADHD since he was a toddler.  He started taking ADHD meds at the age of 3-- three months before turning 4.  He was already threatened to be taken out of preschool for his behavior.  He's always had an I don't care attitude, very destructive unintentionally, couldn't even sit down to watch any TV show longer than 5 minutes.  We had the hardest time finding a punishment that he actually feared until a therapist gave us 1-2-3 magic to watch--it worked!  We started him on Vyvanse, but he had 6 side effects from it. He got switched to Focalin as he grew he's now switched to Focalin XR and now up to 40mg in the morning and at lunch 5mg to get him through the day.  We love it, but it doesn't last long."
