[QUOTE="nandz, post: 353824"] Well, on the plus side, I have noticed a lot of positives from the medications. He is calmer, he listens a lot better, he is not as impulsive or distracted and he can focus better. I believe the issues we are having are behavioral because he knows now he is accountable for his actions and he doesn't like it. He's only been on the medications for 4 days too. I know I cannot expect a miracle overnight. He still has some work to do. He is severely lacking in social cues. Due to his ADHD, he didn't pick up on social cues or social skills and he is very behind his peers in this aspect. I am hoping the medications will help him catch up. Today at soccer practice, he only grabbed someone once in comparison to last week (with no medications) when he grabbed kids around 10 times and tackled them. He did get in some of the kids personal space and tends to get into fights because he just won't leave other kids alone yet. It's still better than last week though. He wouldn't stand in line at all last week. Today, he did a lot better at standing in line and following directions from the coaches. He can focus better, but he still is looking around a lot when he should be paying attention. He's on a very low dose of Adderall. 5 mg in the morning and 2.5 mg at 3 pm. I hate to say these are the wrong medications because we have seen a lot of improvements that we like, but he's just not there yet. [/QUOTE]
