[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that it can take a few weeks to determine effectiveness after the proper dose is achieved. We have gone through this before with two kids, several meds. We are just starting a new med (Concerta) for one child (14 yo, ADHD - executive function issues, some distraction, impulsivity) who has not been not on a stimulant for the last couple of years. Working with both psychiatrist and psychologist, we came up with a scale where we rank a handful of the child's behaviors - duration/frequency/intensity). This is going to help us understand whether the medicine is actually helping the child. Good luck, it it a long haul.[/quote]
