[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 15911, member: 1550"] My personal opinion, and I'm no doctor, is that it's acting like speed to him, which, again in my opinion only, means he probably doesn't have ADHD and, if it were me (and this is only my opinion) he wouldn't take it again. Ritalin had that sort of effect on me and I'm bipolar II. It made me high as a kite, then the drop off was so bad I fell into a deep depression that lasted for months. My spectrum son was tried on stims and it never helped him--just made him mean and aggressive. Stims aren't for all kids, especially if they have mood disorders too. I'd call the psychiatrist. That hyper-talking isn't supposed to happen if the medication is right for your child. [/QUOTE]
