[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 390836, member: 1550"] Any suggestions on what to do? Jumper came home and her eyes literally looked like they were glowing. I found out her dad had been forgetting to give her her ADHD medications so I quickly took over that duty and she took Concerta 54 mgs. for the first time in days. It was also her first 54 mg. dose. She was very jittery, even said she was talking to herself in school and didn't realize it until somebody pointed it out to her. She told me she had no idea why anyone would want to take this drug to get high...she doesn't like it at all. She also asked if it was because she just started it and if there was another medication for ADHD. She does want to do well, yet she doesn't want to feel this way. The doctor is calling me back, but I think I"m going to drop the ADHD medications and let the school deal with her learning problems without medications. Judging by what she said about how she did on the testing, I feel certain she is going to get another IEP (and hub and I will never ever ever agree to drop the IEP again...haha!) But we'll see. They may try that 504 stuff, which we don't like because it isn't a legal document and the school can mess with it. [/QUOTE]
