MY son also takes Focalin xr 10mg in the morning, like you said, it works great for him and then he is having meltdowns at school around 1-2p around 6 hrs later. I told his p-doc about it and she said sometimes that happens. I was like, well i think he needs meds after school time, for homework or anything he has to work hard at. We decided that A- if we increase the dose it wont make it last longer, and then B- i let his school give it to him an hour later, so he lasts at least through the school day. All good, but still doesnt help after school. I asked about giving a dose after school if needed, she said ok, but we only have so many pills. UGH He is also on strattera at bedtime. I think that helps mostly with his mood,and focus a bit. Ive been round and round and its so hard to get it right. we will see her soon , I was thinking hmm maybe focalin xr isnt the drug for him, but she wanted to keep on it another month. Let me know if you find an answer !! HUGS
