ADHD
"My son was diagnosed ADHD in 4th grade, he&#039;s now in 7th. Since that time we&#039;ve tried many medications. We finally settled on Metadate, and it worked great, but we kept having to up the dosage, until he&#039;s now on 60mg. The doctor recommended adding Intuniv to the Metadate. He was cranky and irritable the first week, but now at week 3 and 2mg dosage, the crankiness seems to be getting better. What I have seen with Intuniv is that he&#039;s very difficult to get up in the mornings. But on a good note, if I miss the Metadate medication, his behavior is still pretty good. He&#039;s not bouncing all over the house. When he&#039;s on both the medications, he&#039;s doing really good. I do have hopes to eventually get him off the stimulant all together."
