[quote=Anonymous]Agree with starting very low. I think we started with half the smallest pill and saw positive effects even with that. (I did a single blind study where I didn’t tell anyone that I was starting the meds.. Within a week both the teacher and bus monitor had reached out to me to tell me it was such a great week and they wanted me to know how well he had done that week.) Mine was in OT starting at 4, CBT/talk therapy starting at 5, and we started medication just before 6. We work with an experienced psychiatrist. He says Ritalin and adderral families have the highest success rate across adhd so that is where they recommend starting. The newer non stimulants have much lower success rates but work well for some segment of people.[/quote]
