[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 390839, member: 1514"] There are lots of ADHD medications. Maybe 54mgs is just too high a dose and she should start lower. Of course, there is the long standing ritalin which she could start at a very low dose and take twice a day. Adjusting to that would be easy to see where she needs to be. I know you hate adderal but it can be a very good medication. There is the daytrana patch or vyvanese. I personally wouldnt give up on medications after one trial of one medication of one day. Not when medication can make a dramatic difference in a person with ADD and give them the tools to make life so much easier. In my mind its almost like denying someone a wheelchair when they have no legs and making them use crutches instead. They might be able to get around slowly but it would be so much easier with the chair. [/QUOTE]
