[quote=Anonymous]How is his appetite? 20 mg is a relatively low dose. Wondering if it's a high enough dose to see an impact. Kids on stims typically need a little less sleep to function. Your son will adjust somewhat. Make sure he is practicing good sleep hygiene, no screens 90 min before bed, good routine, etc. Melatonin can help. These aren't severe side effects. Those include more aggression, intense emotions, stomach pains, etc. This also may not be the right stimulant for your son. It a stinks, but there's a lot of trial and error when first starting meds. One piece of advice, keep really good notes so that you can compare/contrast down the road. Good luck![/quote]
