[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think he'll be able to articulate to the doctor what effects he is feeling, what side effects, and what he is looking for that he thinks Ritalin is not giving him?  [/quote]

I asked him to tell me and it wasn't a great articulation so we'll work on it in the car.
He knows he takes "eat" breaks.
He doesn't like how it feels even though he knows that he can concentrate. 
Since he's grown a lot recently, I suspect he needs a higher dose if nothing else. 
(OP here)[/quote]

OP you don't sound ok. "He knows he takes "eat" breaks." This medication doesn't sound like it's working for him. "He doesn't like how it feels" he wants off of it. Let him.
"Since he's grown a lot recently, I suspect he needs a higher dose if nothing else." you sound very controlling and you are not HEARING him talking to you, he's telling you how he feels and what he wants and YOU want him on a higher dose. This is not ok op. [/quote]

Not sure if this poster is new to the Special Needs board, but this is not how we speak to each other here.  We are parents doing the best we can in tough situations.[/quote]
