[quote=Anonymous]My 6 yo has bad crashes at the end of the day and our psychiatrist suggested seeing if Adderall XR would be better than Ritalin ER. She suggested transitioning on, 5 mg at a time for a few days, until we reach a dose that we are happy with - then to see if we like Adderall or Ritalin better. This is all great except that HOLY SH*T this morning has been absolute hell. We started with 5 mg and my husband finally looked at me and was like, give her another pill. He is normally the biggest rule follower ever so I was blown away that he would ever go for that much less suggest it. That gives you some idea of how awful this has been. I did give her another, but we are all still really struggling. I feel like an idiot because I was not mentally prepared for this. I mean it's obvious that this was going to happen, but I didn't really think it through. Does anyone have tips or best practices for doing this?[/quote]
