[quote=Anonymous]DS7 is on metadate for ADHD. It basically only works for school hours and he is horrible to be around starting around 7 pm—cranky, combative, insulting (and in AM too). Even a super low dose affects his sleep, so trying a booster dose midday backfired. He was difficult before, but I wonder if stimulants exacerbate some of this behavior? We are reluctant to stop as it is really necessary for school, but boy, I would like to enjoy being around my kid again. It’s really exacting a toll on our family. We have an appt this week with doc and I am interested in adding a nonstimulant (genetic test said Intuniv or Vyvanse was better than Strattera) to see if that might even him out. For those who have BTDT, how did that process go for you? When did you begin to notice results? What do I need to worry about or ask about?[/quote]
