[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 463631, member: 1550"] I *really* appreciate the feedback! THANK YOU. Love you all. I am not against stimulants. I do think they work better when the children are older. Actually, although I didn't bring it up, Sonic is doing quite well on the same dose of stimulants too. Yet Sonic could not tolerate stimulants when he was younger. Suffice to say I am very pleased and I have no trouble getting the kids to take their one dose in the morning. Once they are out of school, I don't care if it wears off since neither are behavior problems. They do not seem to have rebound effects or get crabby because of it. Sonic does get headaches (common side affect), but he is old enough to take his own Ibuprofen and does not want to stop taking the medication which he says "quiets my brain." The only other side effect we've seen is lack of appetite, but neither of my kids care about that. Jumper is glad, being a teen girl. Sonic desperately needs to be careful not to gain more weight and he doesn't normally have the ability to control his eating. At age eighteen, there is nothing we can do about it so it's nice that he is really not hungry. I hope this continues. Will update. [/QUOTE]
