ADHD
"My son was diagnosed with ADHD in 1st grade. He&#039;s now in 6th. We&#039;ve tried so many meds...Concerta, Intuniv, Focalic, Metasomethingoranother, and more. The stimulants caused massive mood swings. And the other stuff just didn&#039;t work well either. He&#039;s now on Kapvay, the generic form of it, and so far, so good. He takes .1 mg in the morning and we just increased evening to .2mg. The only trouble we&#039;ve had is sleep. He falls asleep but wakes up by 4am. And then, doesn&#039;t fall back to sleep until 6 but has to be awake by 7:30. So, right now, he&#039;s texting me to bring him coffee. Not sure what to do about the lack of sleep but I&#039;m really happy with how he&#039;s responding otherwise. The mood swings have lessened. Now they just seem tween-typical."
