[QUOTE="HowMuchLonger, post: 411425, member: 11280"] I find he was really bad with no medications...these meltdowns, school issues were almost daily. Starting the ritalin there was a positive change at school but he was still raging out of school, dexedrine same thing...positive change at school but the ups and downs between dosages were filled with either manic silliness or raging. The adderall at first seemed to do it all...positive school behaviours and home was pretty calm. but he's been taking the adderall now for about 2.5 months and the rages and defiance are coming back again..maybe he's starting to get too used to them? She did say he's on a very low does..I guess why she wants them upped or changed to a longer acting formula. Also, the start of the adderall was filled with lots of other changes. we started it the first day of xmas break, so he was at home, no school anxieties. Right after the school break he went into his out of school program for 6 weeks and is now back at regular school for the past 2 weeks. It's hard to figure out what/how the medication is affecting the behaviours because there are other circumstances. Is it the return to home school/peers? The transition out of the behavioural program? etc. If I had to say an overall opinion I'd have to say the Adderall has done more good than harm in the big picture, but the "episodes" seem to be getting more outrageous and violent [/QUOTE]
