[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 503995, member: 11791"] medications are tricky. There is no "formula"... it depends on how the person's body reacts to the medications. And... the younger they are, the trickier it is. I'm not familiar with those medications in particular, but I can tell you... 1) it is not uncommon for kids with issues - even as "simple" as ADHD - to end up with depression... and yes, if you can get the underlying problems under control, the depression goes away. 2) if these medications are stims - not unusual for ADHD - it is not uncommon to get a rebound effect as they wear off, which may be part of what you are seeing. This should be discussed with psychiatrist. 3) It is VERY common for a kid with ADHD, to have all sorts of other issues... including LDs, Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), and APDs. So, some of what you are seeing may be problems that go beyond the ADHD. [/QUOTE]
