[quote=Anonymous]We used it for a few weeks when DD had just been diagnosed, at 8. She was on a small dose (can't remember what), but the effect was profound. She was slow and deliberate in everything she was doing -- almost sleepy. She's an athletic child who was on a swim team at that point, and we were blown away when we saw her suddenly hesitate a full second taking a start, or swim a pace so deliberate that t added almost 10s to her short laps. Even then, while we no longer had the melt-downs, she had increased problems with math and no patience with reading. It was as if she was in a trance. When we discontinued, we had out hyper/inattentive child back who read her way through book after book, swam fast, melted a few times a day and whizzed through her math. These days, she thrives on Long-acting Ritalin, again, a low dose.[/quote]
