[QUOTE="buddy, post: 522798, member: 12886"] Take very good notes, as you can see from the posts, it might be a problem, might be an adjustment, might be not enough or too much, etc. We all have different experiences. No way to rule out the diagnosis from one medication. If it happens with some or all adhd medications you MIGHT suspect there are other things going on I suppose. Since you are just starting the medication journey I will share with you that my keeping notes, and being very much an advocate/part of the team.... has made things go much better. So even if medications have caused a crisis, I have planned ahead for how to get off, who to call, where to go etc. If I had known then what I know now, I would have a separate medication journal. Now at 15 there are times I need to remember if we ever tried this or that and there have been so many I do forget sometimes. Luckily we have the same docs the whole time so it is easy to look thru the records. Let us know how the journey goes this weekend! hope he is ok. OH, I am sure this is obvious, but even though any medication may help, if behaviors have gone on for a while it still will take the team to work on them. The difference is the kids can take in the help and support. It doesn't automatically stop all behaviors which is why some people say it takes time to see if it works. That is different from medications that need to build to a steady state etc. (which needs then that AND time to work on the behaviors). Just a thought, sorry if you already had considered that.
