[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 320379, member: 805"] You are as likely to get as many different answers to your questions as there are adhd medications! Kid's reaction to stims differs from child to child and year to year. I can only tell you my difficult child's experience. The very first day difficult child went on medications was a school day. There was a difference right away. Even his handwriting was more focused. He was diagnosis'd with adhd, highly impulsive/combined type. The hyperactivity level decreased, the attention and focused incrased and the impulsivity decreased. That was eight years ago. Numerous medication dosages and medication changers later, he is 14 and in 8th grade. He is on a very low dose of vyvanse now and the hyperacticity and impulsivity are pretty much gone (without the medications). The "H" in adhd is pretty much gone (which sometimes happends as they get older) but the attention issues are still there. You will see something the first day. Dont' become discouraged though if tweaking is needed. Sometimes one type of stimulant doesn't work or a different dosage is needed. Good luck! Keep us posted. Sharon [/QUOTE]
