Focalin 10mg

Recently I started taking my son's medicine for ADHD-Focalin.  I need it something to help me to stay focus and to give me the speed I need to do what I have to do. My family is going through a foreclosure in our primary home and we have to move out in a short time. Is been almost two months that I started packing and I'm so far behind, since is so much to do and my husband works outside all day. And we have two boys (9&5yrs) that they home with me for the summer.

I also take Pristiq 50mg since 09/08 and makes me feel very good, but is not enough for me to accomplish what I need to do.  Since is only been days that I took the Focalin, the first day, I vomited and I have a light headache.  Didn't feel hungry after breakfast for the rest of the day. I just wanted to get a little extra help, but if I can damage my health could you please let me know???

I don't suffer heart problems, high blood pressure, and I like to drink two cups of coffee a day, but the strong latin one. I mentioned that because right after the morning coffee I took the focalin and I felt very energenic.  Then an hour later I vomitted.  By the way I don't have health insurance, neither a primary doctor. Thanks in advance for your help.

While taking the medication may indeed be understandable I don't think taking someone elses prescribed medication is in your best interest and could even be dangerous.
I would strongly urge you to discuss your situation with a doctor from one of those zero or low fee clinics.

Drugs are not my area but it is certain;ly understandable that you would need help.  Most areas do have treatment available for people without insurance or money.  You should research them and get whatever combination of therapy and medication you really need.
