[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 99030, member: 1233"] Hangin On, I had one other thought. When we started medicating difficult child, we started with adderal, then ritalin. (Generic, of course, if it was available). We did have to do a dose midday, because they are very short-acting. One was about 3 hours for him, the other was about4 or 5. Can't remember which was which. After we found that ritalin worked well for him, we did have some trouble with the rebound effect (behaviors kicked in strogner after being suppressed) happening mid-day when we were at coop (homeschooling at the time) or at another educational program. In the light of these problems, our psychiatrist suggested concerta because of the time release factor. I would still try medications with the way MY son was acting. But he was 7, not 4. I would have had a hard time trying a time release medication if I wasn't sure what the short acting version did (if I knew a short acting form was available). Just another thought that occurred to me. Susie [/QUOTE]
