Comments on: Metadate CD for ADHD http://www.addadhdblog.com/metadate-cd-for-adhd/ A blog about Attention Deficit Disorder, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:12:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: kelly http://www.addadhdblog.com/metadate-cd-for-adhd/comment-page-1/#comment-441033 kelly Tue, 07 Jun 2011 18:45:14 +0000 http://www.addadhdblog.com/?p=586#comment-441033 My daughter started taking Metadate 30 mg in 1st grade and now she is in 8th grade. I've noticed in the last 2 years that she became very cranky/moody when on the medicine (sometimes on the weekends she wouldn't take it and that is when we would see a difference). The doctor switched her to Vyvanse 20 mg for a month and her attitude was much pleasant, but her grades in school began dropping, so the doctor increased the Vyvanse to 30 mg for a month. We still noticed a happier child, but grades were still dropping. It was at the end of the school year, so I can't tell if it was completely the medication or her just wanting to get school over with. I'm now wondering while she is out of school for the summer if I should try something else or have the doctor increase the medicine once again. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

Why is that?? Also, WHY is it so expensive compared to every other medication for this problem. Thanks. I am wondering why the pharmacist tells me that hardly anyone takes Metadate CD. Why is that??
