[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 232447, member: 1991"] Hmm. Possible rebound, or it could be simple exhaustion from being able to concentrate better all day. You need time to observe and see how you go. Rebound itself isn't necessarily all bad. If the net benefit is amazing, you put up with a bit of mild rebound. But if it IS rebound, then it will get worse as the dose increases. He may learn to cope with it, especially as he gets older. Also, teary rebound is much easier to live with, than aggressive rebound (speaking from experience). difficult child 1 is gentle, loving, considerate. But when affected by rebound when younger, he attacked easy child with a screwdriver. Off his medications he would get aggressive (still does). On his medications, he's a darling. Telling him to do something and then walking away - it is likely to trigger the oppositionality. He is going to be far less capable at the end of the day and when unmedicated. You do need to read tat book. For a fast preview, check out the link in Early CHildhood (it's a sticky). But I'm currently re-reading the 3rd editino of the book, it's the New Improved version and is even better, I think. It refers to Plans instead of Baskets. You take from it what you feel will help and leave the rest. I found it made my life much easier, I could throw out a lot of the charts and stickers and just go back to my own eits, guided by this book telling me this was OK to do. And then quickly reinforced by the improvement in how we all got on. Marg Marg [/QUOTE]
