[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 16051, member: 2322"] You will have to ask your doctor, I guess is the best answer. I presume you trialed the absolute lowest dose possible? You mentioned he talked a lot, had trouble going to sleep. That happened to my oldest son. That lessened over time. But the behavior was much better. There is the rebound problem, though. Did you see any positive behavior impact--better ability to concentrate? If so, it might be worth trying Adderall or a lower dose of Ritalin (can you split the pill in half?). We are even having some luck with Focalin for my youngest. I would wait to trial it on the weekend when you can give it to him at 9 am.... With my youngest, he didn't have any of the speed like effects, he just got extremely whiny and cried etc. We didn't even get beyond one dose... [/QUOTE]
