[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 609992, member: 1550"] Stimulants kick in right away so you pretty much know how they will affect the child. One day on Adderrall was enough for us and we tossed it in the trash. Every stimulant tried on Sonic just made him more hyper and MEAN. The mean part is important. Although he was hyper-off-the-charts he had never been mean, but he started shoving other kids and kicking us and screaming. Although this happened, to a degree, on every stimulant, Adderrall was the worse one for him. So be aware that medications go two ways...they can help or they can make things worse and in my opinion Mom knows best here. You're the one who lives with him and can contrast his behavior first hand. Do not hesitate to challenge any doctor's opinion if you see that the medication is making things worse. We honestly couldn't handle it beyond one day. And he didn't "slow down" or pay better attention either, not that we would have kept him on it even if it had. In the medications game, you really have to be the one to monitor if the medications are working, doing nothing, or making your child even worse. I've taken many medications myself and I'm lucky I finally found some that helped. But before that I had one bad reaction after another to medication. It can take time and some kids do better off of medications. [/QUOTE]
