[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 138822, member: 3444"] Were the meltdowns towards the end of the day? I'm just thinking maybe it's a bit of rebound from the medications wearing off... It's really a little early to know for sure. One thing about the stims (if you're worried about the dose being too high), if it's a straightforward case of ADHD, if the dose is too high it will make your child very quiet and withdrawn into themself. Whereas someone who doesn't have ADHD will just be very wired and jittery. We have had experience with Adderall, and the short-acting version is what we started on years ago. From what I remember, it was o.k. But we switched to Adderall XR to get a single dose to last for the whole school day, and it eventually caused problems with aggression and irritablity. We had the best luck for the longest time on Concerta. And now we're using the Daytrana patch with great success (I really like the flexibility it gives you for dosing -- you can take it off when you WANT the medications to wear off intstead of having to WAIT for them to wear off).
