[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 326244, member: 805"] I had the same experience as smallworld when my difficult child was younger and on a higher dose. He would have about 10 days or so at the beginning of the summer where you could almost look in his eyes and see the question "what should I do now?", and "what's going on?" He was actually more disrespectful vocally and back to being a jumping bean. It took that 10 days or so for him to adjust being without the medication. It also took me reminding him daily, "difficult child, remember you are not on your medication...calm down, think about what you are doing...." He is older now and just takes a fairly low dose of vyvanse (30mg) for the focus issues - he only takes it on school days. The only thing I notice on the weekends or the school holidays is that he eats more! Hope you see some positive changes with the new medication. Give it some time. Sharon [/QUOTE]
