[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was reading an article recently on how the dosage that improves cognitive processes is lower than the dosage that improves behavior. In increasing dosage to address the behavior you lose the positive effects on cognition. The thresholds are different making it very difficult to find a medication and dosage that is effective for both cognition and behavior. Just an interesting tidbit to consider when trying to figure out if the dosage is working...depends on what you are targeting. [/quote] That's very interesting to hear. DS is on the lowest dose of his current medication and the behavior has ceased being an issue, but there are still cognition issues. Obviously, each kid is different in how meds work.[/quote]
