[quote=Anonymous]It's instantaneous when you hit the effective dose. Our pediatrician had us start with 5mg of Adderall for a week, then 10. We saw nothing much. Then 15mg. Pow. All of a sudden he could sit, stand in line, participate in classroom activities and t-ball practice etc. That was in kindergarten. Since then we've migrated to Ritalin (20 mg) and guanfacine for a better overall side effects profile. The stimulants aren't perfect but they work almost as fast as a cup of coffee wakes you up. And he is do much more capable and less frustrated.[/quote]
