[quote=Anonymous]Adding to the chorus - I think now is the perfect time to continue to fine tune medications. Fine, your DD might not be the hyperactive impulsive kid that sticks out, but trust me, as a parent of those kids we are in contact with the teachers and making iterative changes through time to find what works. Your DD might be keeping on with her daydreaming; it's not disruptive but it's still problematic. What you describe of the Concerta and Focalin is that you were underdosed. Also what happens as the meds wear off are not technically side effects. The crash she is experiencing is also a sign of being underdosed. I would not wait until next year's more observant and strict teacher to start revving this engine again. It took us a year plus to find our meds and classroom interventions that worked.[/quote]
