[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17y recently switched from 45mg (27mg + 18mg) to 54mg so we only had to deal with one script/pill. No real change from 45mg to 54mg. He is 5'9 and about 150lbs. It very much wears off after 12 hrs or so and he takes a booster.[/quote] OP here. Thx! My son is almost exactly this size...I just asked him to weigh himself and he's 152 and about 5'10". We have an appointment with his doctor in 2 weeks and I'm curious about either a dose increase or a ritalin booster for later in the day. He seems to be flailing in the evenings. [/quote] Parent of the 17y above. The evenings are miserable for us once it wears off. He only takes a booster if he is going to drive/go to sports practice/has homework he needs to get done. But when he doesn't, it is like he is drunk - rambling, maniacal laugh, hyper...[/quote] Was he like this prior - just from ADHD or is this a “come down” from the medication? [/quote]
