What Causes Nausea While On Focalin?
My 9 year old son had to stop taking focalin because it made him very nauseous. He was using daytrana patches for a short while but they began to cause localized rashes and even exhortation. His Dr now prescribed Adzenys. Does this medicine have less incidents of nausea?

Hello,
Both drugs mentioned belong to the class of stimulants and they have similar side effects and they both have the risk of causing nausea.
On the other hand, it is worthy to try Adzenys while Focalin caused severe nausea and see if the second drug will cause him less nausea.
You will need to let your doctor know if any side effects develop.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
