[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 551468, member: 1550"] You can try a higher dose. It could be that the ADHD diagnosis. is wrong. My son, on stimulants, acted as if he was on speed. Plus it made him mean and aggressive. He tried all the stims...Adderrall was the worst, but they all did the same thing and he did not slow down at all...quite the opposite. It can't hurt to try a higher dose because these medications are fast in/fast out. It won't take long for you to know if stimulants help him or make him worse or don't affect him at all. If they don't help, then you have your answer about stimulants. If the stims are a bust, you may want to get a second opinion on the diagnosis, although some ADHD kids don't do better on stimulants. Could also mean something different is going on rather than ADHD/ODD. [/QUOTE]
