[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 548856, member: 1233"] Has she taken other stims with success? Wiz did very very well on concerta, which is long acting ritalin and was available before ritalin xr came out or vyvanse did. Now Wiz is on strattera, or was last i knew, and it was also wonderfully successful for him. I know you are leery of stims, but when rx'd appropriately for adhd they do NOT lead to drug abuse. the opposite has actually been shown in studies - appropriate use of stims helps kids with adhd focus and they are less likely to self medicate with other substances. I would let her try a lower dose, or go to a medication that has worked before. a lower dose will give less of the effect and can give the improved focus even though a higher dose clearly didn't work well. is it possible to let her try for a day or three before school starts so she and you know what will happen and she isn't dealing with a new medication the first few days of school? Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
