ADHD medication

My son (10) is on 20mg of medikinet, but it seems to be giving him more energy, he seems a bit all over the place, like he doesn't know what to do with himself. I thought it was supposed to enable him to focus. He can't focus with even more energy than he already has. Is this normal? Does anyone have any experience of this with their children?

Medikinet caused my son to have a really serious rebound reaction and started that way. Please get him reviewed asap. Its definitely the wrong medication for him.

What @Justanything86 said - get the meds reviewed asap as they're obviously not working as they should.

It's clearly the wrong medication for him. Does he have a titration nurse at the moment? I'd let them know what effect it's having and they may try something else instead.
