I am 24, and have since been using Daytrana for over 2 months now. I use the 30mg patch, and wear it from 7am to roughly 8/9pm daily. I can't seem to find any other adults using this. Is anyone out there? I have many more concerns in relation to daytrana and treatment of adult ADHD, but I want to be sure there are others using Daytrana before I go into futher depth.

I am hoping this post does not create an echo.

Welcome to the forums i12baSurgeon. I'm sorry but I've never read of adults taking it yet as I don't know if it's FDA approved yet for Adults, but I'm sure there are plenty (maybe not on the forums) who are using it..

I started on Adderall back in November... Because I've had WLS i don't absorb all the med and it metabolizes quicker than normal peoples.... Also.. i tended to forget to take my 3rd dose... so my doc put me on the daytrana patch... Unfortunately i had 2 side effects i dind't like... 1... i would burn under the patch... (adhessive/tape allergy) and 2. it truly put me to sleep!!! i could sleep at any given moment!! haha

so...back on Adderall I went... thing is... just found out today that my bp is tooooo high... 140/104... so my shrink told me to STOP until i see him in 2 weeks and we'll figure SOMETHING out.... I guess I can buck up... deal with the rash.. and the sleepies... think i'd rather be tired than have the headaches... blurry vision ..and pounding heart!

What is so sad... i love the focus i get... just hate all the side effects... :(

I think the daytrana patch would be great. Put it on in the morning, take it off in time to go to bed. I think the only reason it isn't used in adults more often is price. Keep searching the web, you should be able to find adults who have experience using it.

Hey i12baSurgeon you are not the only one. I am a 25 year old male and I am on it. When the doctor first mentioned the patch to replace taking multiple doses of adderall a day I laughed and said no thanks, but then I came home and thought what the heck I would check out the website. None the less next time I went in I brought it up and we made the switch. I was on adderall xr 15mg 2 times a day and a 5mg Adderall regular doasge when needed as well as Wellbturin xl 300mg(not generic which just came out, generics stink in my opinion because only 80% of what the name brands dosage needs to be released, and not to mention they were the size of horse pills). So far its been great I dont have to worry about timing up my next dose of Adderall so I dont have to worry get that up and down feeling when its starting to wear off. I like how daytrana is easier to use and lasts all day. I also like how it tingles a little at first just to let me know its working. It also doesen't give you that hyper focus you get from adderall once in a while. Its great to have a drug that lasts all day, (the wear only 9 hours warning was just put on there to make the FDA approve it) believe me its the first once a day all day drug for ADHD that I have found yet. One last thing before I go is I find it interesting that the drug was/is approved for children and not adults when children are the ones that seem to be having problems with it(forgetting to take it off, not sticking properly, peeling it off and such) and it has been benificial to the few adults out there who are on it just my .02 cents:)!!!

I'm 23 and on Daytrana as well.

I was formerly on Adderall, but I metabolize it so quickly the xr would stop working in 1.5-2 hours. I really liked the patch, and it was a lot less harsher than adderall. Unfortunatly in the last month I can't wear it for more than 3 hours without getting really anxious. It really sucks because the patch was working so well before that. :\ Maybe I need a lower dose.
