[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son has been on Ritalin for a little over a year and as a result of some testing, it's clear it's not quite doing the trick when it comes to impulse control and focus. How do you know what medication to try next? Is it just trial and error? Any anecdotes about ritalin not working, and what did? Wondering if there is a logical next drug to try. Yes, we will take the advice from our doctor, but also interested in others' experiences.[/quote] Ritalin works better with ADHD+Combine type, but my DD did okay in Ritalin her behavior improved but had problems with forcing, and we wanted one that lasted all day. we moved and we went to Children Hospital in Falls Church and they switched her to AdderallXR, which worked better. every year or so they might need to increased mgs either way.
