Let's take a minute to talk about your medication.

This is Mydayis. It is a stimulant medication, but it calms people with ADHD so they can focus, work and learn. It may have other uses, too. 

You should take Mydayis in the morning when you wake up. This allows it to work during the day, and to wear off before bedtime. You should take it either 'always with food' OR 'always without food'. You should swallow the capsule whole. If needed, you can open the capsule and sprinkle the powder onto a spoonful of applesauce.  

Mydayis is considered safe when taken under a doctor's care. Still, you should wait until you know how it affects you, or your child, before doing things like driving or riding a bike. Common side effects include nausea, dry mouth, a loss of appetite and weight loss. Other effects include trouble sleeping, anxiety and irritability. These effects are normal if they are mild. If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking this medicine, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Children will have their growth monitored to make sure it does not slow down.

As with any medicine, rare but more serious side effects could occur. It is important to read the Medication Guide to know which symptoms to watch for. To help keep this medicine safe for you, your doctor will follow your condition closely. 

This medicine is a controlled by federal law. It can lead to abuse and dependence. Be sure to store it in a safe place to prevent abuse, misuse and harm. Tell your doctor if you or your family have a history of addiction. Also, you should not drink alcohol.

For best results with Mydayis, take it exactly as your doctor tells you to.
