[QUOTE="Janna, post: 100540, member: 2737"] My youngest is ADHD, Combined and on 18 mg. He's pretty small (45 pounds) and this has been a good dose for him for a long time. We did try 27 mg., and he got really glassy eyed and zoned out, so that was a bad thing! You don't want to see that. I saw results with him the first day I gave him the medicine as far as his hyperactivity level was concerned. His focus and attention, it took a little time, because we had to teach him how to focus. I guess about 2 - 3 weeks I saw vast improvement in that area. He was never really "ODD", but he was getting a little mouthy. Somewhat defiant, at times. I don't think the medicine helped fix that, but I think it calmed him down enough that he thought before he acted, which made him less impulsive, which helped alot with the behaviors, that are just fine now. That took about 2 months. [/QUOTE]
