[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 16248, member: 1514"] There are some people who metabolize medications extremely fast but at his age I would be doing what you are and really searching. Are the docs are KK the ones who are prescribing the ritalin? I have been in your shoes. I had one truly ADHD kid who ritalin worked like a charm on. I cant honestly remember what dose he took at 5 but I think it was maybe 10 mgs twice a day because he was a rather large 5 year old. Way larger than your son. Then I had one that ended up being bipolar but back then it simply wasnt heard of. Do you take him to a therapist or do you see a therapist about him? Can you ask for a play therapist for him? How about some sort of social skills group for him? What kind of testing have you had done on him to get the ADHD and ODD diagnosis? [/QUOTE]
