[QUOTE="shelleyils, post: 607062, member: 16186"] I haven't posted here in a while. We took my son to the cardiologist just to make sure he could take an adhd medication called procentra. My son is 11 totally non verbal autistic. The dr. said it was ok for him to take the medication. We started out at 2mls in the am and 2mls after lunch. This medication did help with him focusing more, but it seemed to make him really angry. His dr. said to up the dose to 3ml in the am and 1.5 after lunch. The teacher did say he was paying attention better, but seems to be really mad. He already takes abilify. Anyways, since we know that an adhd medication does help, would a non stimulant make him just as angry? What are the common side effects of a non stimulant? [/QUOTE]
