[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 382630, member: 3444"] FWIW, our psychiatrist doses stimulants based on clinical response more than weight. Some people metabolize the drugs differently -- we saw this with both our difficult child's when they were little. We knew if the dose was too high because the difficult child would become quiet and withdrawn. On the other hand, if you find you are going higher on the stimulant and NOTHING is happening, or it is making your difficult child's symptoms worse, that is a huge red flag that you are likely not dealing with ADHD in the purest sense. Something else is going on that would need to be addressed with different medications altogether. [/QUOTE]
