[QUOTE="Malika, post: 635723, member: 11227"] Thanks, whatamess. One of the things that really surprises me about these medications is how totally individual the results seem to be for each child. So I cannot base anything on someone's good experience or on someone's bad experience! I'm sorry it didn't work out for your son. Did you try other medications and was there one that worked in the end? So far I'd say J has had only negative effects, not yet positive (I did think he seemed a bit more mature one day but really that could just be him on that particular day) but to be honest it's rather difficult to tell. One starts not knowing what might be due to the medications and what one might be imagining is due to the medications... When I gave him the increased dose on Saturday, he was very irritable all day but this seemed to have worn off yesterday and he was his usual (mainly) happy self all day. Most difficult thing, really, is to ward off hope and expectation and just be open to what happens, ready to discontinue (and abandon dreams of improved concentration and impulsivity) if it all just goes downhill.
