[QUOTE="--Eleanor--, post: 59631, member: 3620"] My son is in a similar position. The ritalin definitely helps with his attention span, but his aggressiveness has increased, particularly as he is coming off the stuff. Moreover, the extended release type which is supposed to last 8 hours only lasts about 5 for him. To get him through the school day, he needs a booster dose (10 mg.) at about noon. Of course, this just delays the come-down until he comes home... We have an appointment. with a child psychiatrist next week (he's been getting the ritalin from his regular pediatrician) and we're hoping that she has something better than ritalin for him. [/QUOTE]
