My son is 12 years old. He is Autistic, ODD, ADHD and Bi-polar. This medication was suppose to treat the impulsive rage that he has. It helped at first, but after the second week, it stopped working. My doctor just decided to change drugs due to how intense my son's 'freak out' moments were getting. The drug did work very well at first. It was the first time in a long time that we ...

It was the first time in a long time that we went a FULL 2 days with NO drama!!! That was a welcomed blessing from above!

Did not help with my dd focus, concentration, and impulsivity. It did work on her hyperness..but mellowed her too much...also this medicine was very expensive when you are taking 2mg am and pm as prescribed. DD had upper respiratory infections, sore throats and legtharic proper dose.

If we forget, usually at night, you can really tell the difference. The first thing the next morning you now RIGHT AWAY if he missed. Wow! We switched health plans and now they are charging us $350 avg for month for 120 pills. I just lo ... Show Full Comment

I just looked at the reviews on Intuniv, NO WAY I will switch him to that, I'll pay the money and look for better insurance. I highly recommend CapVay. The only thing is that it can make him sleepy from time to time, but he used to wear out from the HD and crash all the time, so not really much difference there anyway.

When my son started taking kapvay, it was great. He had already been taking clonodine, so this was a nice long acting version that allowed me to give him much less Focalin (his other med). However, after about two months, he developed a severe facial tick, pulling one side of his mouth back, had trouble focusing his eyes, and was pulling his eye back and blinking as well. Fortunately, after tak ... Show Full Comment

However, after about two months, he developed a severe facial tick, pulling one side of his mouth back, had trouble focusing his eyes, and was pulling his eye back and blinking as well. Fortunately, after taking him off of it, he is 98% better. We were sorry we couldn't use it anymore, but be on the lookout for these symptoms.
