[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 464095, member: 2322"] we had this issue with my oldest. The medications were definitely helpful but we did have some aggression issues. If he could go on a longer acting dose that might help (liike Concerta?) We find it wears off gradually. The worst are the short acting doses of Ritalin, they wear off so quickly that I think the rebound is worse. Has he tried Adderall? What we did for awhile was to give a dinner time small dose of Risperdal. That worked well, and my son didn't have a huge spike in appetite because the Adderall pretty much counteracted the Risperdal impact on appetite. [/QUOTE]
