It's been a busy,busy year. House for sale, dd has been under treatment for adhd since last november but we just saw the psychiatrist last tuesday and she FINALLY thank GOD switched dd1 from adderall to concerta. So last week we were using a dosage of 18mg and this week I uped it to 36 per the docs instruction. WOW what a differance. She's EATING and it's lasting through the day. YAYYY! The adderall didn't last the day,we had massive weight loss and and emotional roller coaster like crazy. I feel horrid that she had to loose most of 1st grade to us figuring what was going on.
Hopefully the concerta will help her calm down enough that she can take care of her anxiety herself and won't need med's for it also.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had an experience like this or even has a dc with adhd?
