[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 16244, member: 2423"] Needabreak, what kind of doctor diagnosed your son with ADHD and what kind of doctor is treating him with Ritalin? Has Kennedy Krieger given you any indication that you're looking at something beyond ADHD? It is a very well-respected facility so I hope you will get to the bottom of what's going on with your son. by the way, 80 mg of Ritalin is a very high dose for a 5-year-old. It is not recommended that children 6 years and old take more than 60 mg a day. Side effects for Ritalin can include depression, mania, psychosis and an increase in anxiety. If it's not helping, you either need to try a new medication, or you have the wrong diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
