    Oh no! Iiwy, I'd call the Ped ASAP to schedule another appointment to discuss medications this week. Time to try a new one. And like you, i wouldn't give her the Focalin tomorrow. The good new is that it will be all worn off by the end of the day.

    I am not sure I want to deal with her ped when it comes to ADHD meds anymore. There were some issues I rather not get into here, but I am not convinced they are best equipped to deal with this. Her psychologist mentioned a psychiatrist he works with when there are issues with meds. I have a parent meeting with him next week so I am going to ask for a name and number.

    Definitely find a psychiatrist. Most ped's are not knowledgeable enough about ADHD meds and their dosing/side effects. As you have already discovered, it's definitely not a one-size-fits-all science and there can be a WIDE range of side effects. Don't give up. I know it's hard and frustrating, but with the right doctor, you'll get this figured out.
