[QUOTE="DDD, post: 573447, member: 35"] I have never met a parent who was eager to medicate their child. on the other hand your son obviously has issues that are setting him apart from the norm and I wish you well. The stims are "quick in quick out" so generally you can see improvement or undesirable side effects soon after beginning the medication. Like others we experimented until we found one that made the children best able to function. I suggest keeping a simple diary recording the time of dosage, the meal eaten before taking the pill and observations of behavioral changes...hopefully good but sometimes not. Don't try to "wing it"...do it in as easy scientific way. Fingers crossed that your son will benefit and, therefore, the family will benefit also. It's so easy to lose sight of how aware our difficult child little kids are of their differences. Sometimes I think that ODD results (in some children) as a means to fight back from the negative way their behaviors are received by peers and strangers. I hope your child is receptive and successful. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
