[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is super helpful!

DS is eleven and his doctor wants to adjust downward his non-stimulant medication b/c he may not be as hyperactive and impulsive anymore (which is what this medication treats). However, DS currently has a terrible time paying attention in class and he is certainly disorganized. I expect the disorganization to get worse with middle school and higher expectations. I'm not sure what to think about the inattention --- it sounds like that may never get better unless we can find a stimulant that works for him:(

But the hyperactivity and impulsivity cause more problems socially and in the classroom so it would be great to see those decline over time.....[/quote]

I’m the last poster on page 1.  I’m not suggesting this for an 11 yo, but my high schooler drinks a lot of caffeine.  It’s the only thing I have actually seen help with his attention without the side effects of the adhd meds.  He always has coffee or an energy drink before school and often has another in the afternoon.  It’s not ideal but works for him and I also enjoy afternoon coffee sometimes so…. [/quote]
