[quote=Anonymous]It's worth a try, OP. If it doesn't work... at least you know you are doing something to make the child's life better. You can then try something else. FWIW, my DS, 9, just started on Adderall XR. I don't really see a lot of difference, but his teacher has been observing him for a couple of weeks and she had noted improved behavior and participation with less frequent distractions and greater ability to get back on task when teacher reminds him. The first day of taking meds is the scariest b/c you don't know what will happen. I was thrilled that it doesn't seem to have affected DS's appetite as is commonly reported. DS is already in the 5th % for weight, so losing weight was a real problem.... fortunately, it hasn't materialized.[/quote]
