[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 100046, member: 2423"] Janna, I'm sorry Dylan is struggling. Dexedrine, like any stimulant, can exacerbate anxiety. That's why you may be seeing increased shirt chewing. Furthermore, it wears off after about 4 hours and can cause a rebound effect of increased mood lability. That's why you may have been the crying and melting down at dinner and afterwards. The dose may be too low, he may need a long-acting stimulant, the medication may not be the right one -- it's really hard to know because as you well know, it's all a trial and error process. You should definitely report what you're seeing to the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) and see what the docs there say. Hope you have a better day tomorrow. Happy turkey day. [/QUOTE]
