[QUOTE="Malika, post: 635670, member: 11227"] You have long experience with Strattera, TeDo, and I certainly wouldn't ignore your opinion! I'm not sure how much J connects taking the pill in the morning to his feeling sleepy.... not much, I think. The psychiatrist did tell him he was going to give him a pill that would help him at school and help him make friends (and also that would help him "listen to mummy without complaining" - I wasn't so keen on that one; I don't want J to take a pill to make him good...) A little confused, though, when you say he wouldn't be feeling the effects of the medication yet - the sleepiness is an effect of the medication, so could he not be experiencing other effects as well? I am willing to see it through for a few weeks, though next week is a school holiday and he is going to stay with his father and family for some days. My ex-husband is not in favour of his taking medications and doesn't want to talk about his having ADHD, though I think deep down he knows it is real and that J is "different". I have told him he is going to try a medication for it, and he will doubtless agree to giving him the pill in the morning. by the way, how is Buddy? Are you still in contact with her? She doesn't seem to post on the board any more - would love to have news of her. [/QUOTE]
