[QUOTE="maxeygirls, post: 370523, member: 8869"] Note to self: The negative effects of caffeine if consumed by a 3 year old after 12 pm are not worth the positive effects. difficult child was fantastic all morning and most of the afternoon until our other ADHD household member came home from work. She had a little more(1/2 cup of weak coffee) caffeine at about 1pm and was up until 3:30am. Oh well, you win some you lose some. The caffeine did work to regulate her, but the stimulant effects seem to last far too long and I think the fact that she wasn't running amuck all day means she didn't run off her usual energy. I was also warned that we may have the same problem when she starts whatever ADHD medications we decide on and may have to consider something stronger than Melatonin for sleep. I'll be calling the pediatrician on Monday to get the status on medications. [/QUOTE]
