[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-  If you child has already started medication and his behavior is still the same on meds as off meds, perhaps it is time to try something else.  My son's behavior was like night and day once he started meds.  The impulsiveness, the constant talking, the inability to sit still and the combativeness about everything nearly went away completely on meds.  He is so much more himself rather than his symptoms now.  I would talk to the doctor about changing meds if his behavior has not improved.[/quote]

Not OP, but my 6yo just started medication this weekend.  Are you saying we should be seeing behavioral improvements this soon?  It was the weekend, and a rather exciting weekend at that, and he seemed about the same to me.  How long do we wait?[/quote]

I posted before.  My son takes Vyvanse and his doctor said the medicine should start working right away.  He started on half of the lowest dose and I noticed a slight improvement the first few days.  When he went up to 20mg, everyone noticed right away.  I don't know what medication your child is one but ask the pediatrician how long he should take it before noticing anything.  The doctor said that with Vyvanse, once my son's appetite was affected, that was probably the correct dosage.  He was right.[/quote]
