[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 59623, member: 45"] Could also be a rebound from Ritalin LA if the meltdowns occur in the afternoon, when the medication may be starting to wear off. My difficult child took Ritalin LA in the morning, then a small does of methylaphenidate (regular, fast-acting ritalin) at lunchtime to get him through the afternoon. He takes a small dose in the late afternoon to help him get through the evenings when he has homework or something else planned. He still is on this schedule, with a different brand than Ritalin LA, but same basic medication. He also takes Lexapro to help with the aggression that he had before starting on Ritalin, which often coincide with transitions, like coming in from recess, going to lunch, etc. [/QUOTE]
