Jornay Pm Toxicity & Overdose RiskThere is no difference in how men and women respond to dexmethylphenidate. Not much is known about how race, age, kidney and liver health, pregnancy, or breastfeeding affect the drug's effectiveness. Patients with kidney problems do not need a lower dose. Animal studies show that taking dexmethylphenidate during pregnancy or breastfeeding can delay fetal bone growth and reduce weight gain in male offspring. It is important to consider the benefits and risks of the drug before taking it. Dexmethylphenidate has not been linked to cancer, but mice exposed to extremely high doses developed liver tumors. There is also some weak evidence that it might be able to

5Patient Review
8/24/2022 Jornay has been an amazing medication for our daughter with ADHD. She's able to focus and be her best self all day long, without any negative side effects or impacting her sleep. We're looking forward to see how well she does in school this year!
5Patient Review
8/31/2022 Jornay completely changed our lives by giving us our son back. If you have kids who struggle with medication, I urge you to try this out. You take it at night and they wake up feeling better, and the effects last all day!
5Patient Review
9/14/2022 I've been taking medication for ADHD since 1991 and this is by far the best one I've tried. There are few to no side effects, just some mild appetite issues the first week or two. But other than that, it's very smooth and lasts a long time. I take the 80mg anywhere between 7-10pm and wake up as scheduled and have no problems falling asleep.
5Patient Review
3/25/2022 I felt like this treatment helped me more than other similar treatments I've tried.

11/13/2021 My son, who is almost 11, has been taking this medication for a few months now. We switched from Adderall to Vyvanse, and it's been much better. Mornings were really tough before, but now he gets up on his own most of the time. He listens better and is doing great in school.

10/19/2022 So this has been really helpful for both myself and my daughter. We wake up feeling more rested and alert, which is such an improvement from before. And we don't even need the extra afternoon dose of Ritalin anymore! Our doctor said it's because the medication is absorbed in your large intestines, making it last longer?? I'm not sure how that works exactly, but all I know is that this has been a total win for us!
2.7Patient Review
3/2/2020 My son took this for one month and it was an absolutely harrowing experience. Within a month, he went from getting A's in school to D's, and ended up having to be hospitalized after falling asleep in class and becoming catatonic. This was by far the worst reaction to any medication he's ever had.
