[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 462095, member: 1550"] Well, InsaneC, she certainly is doing much better in school on a low dose of Vyanese (Is t hat the name?). I haven't noticed any difference in her behavior though. She DID need the label to get school help so we agreed with it...lol. But the doctor wanted to give her a much higher dose. NOT HAPPENING. We gave her a high dose last year and she started talking to herself and being unable to sit still. I really think these doctors tend to way overmedicate. We, as parents, have to decide if we want medication at all and, if we do, we have to be careful and monitor the doctors (as sad as that is). As soon as we saw trouble last year, we told her not to take that medication again and only decided to try a lower dose stimulant this year, right before school, because she does need to get her grades up and if she can get by on a dose that does not make her hyper, and if it helps her pay attention, then we feel that it's worth it. At the first sign of trouble, the medication will be gone. [/QUOTE]
