Daytrana is the same as Ritalin and concerta I think (methylphenidate).

Maybe you could get a Ritalin pill and dissolve it in a glass of water. Or crush it up and put it in food. (Don't mention the second one to your doctor lol).

But no I've never tired Daytrana. Since it is methylphenidate, it acts as a mood stabilizer for most people including myself. But for most people they get more anxious when they take it. Over time it should get better.

But there is this for some people;

Serious mental (psychiatric) problems have been reported with the Daytrana patch or other stimulant medicines including:
- new or worse aggressive behavior, hostility, anger or irritability
- new or worse bipolar illness or mania (an extreme increase in activity or talking)
- new or worse psychosis (hearing or seeing things that are not real, being suspicious, or distrustful, believing things that are not true)
- other unusual or extreme changes in behavior or mood
