ADHD
"My nine year old son was put on this for impulsivity, lack of ability to pay attention and retain things at school, and to help the &quot;spazzy&quot; moments. At first he was a walking zombie so we gave it at night. Eventually he was able to switch to taking it in the morning as his body got used to it. But still he would crash as soon as he got home from school. He says the medicine makes it hard for him to sleep in anymore even though he&#039;s tired. He is less spazzy and can pay attention better. But I don&#039;t know what to do about the emotional roller coaster we get from him being so tired from it towards the late afternoon or evenings. He just seems too sedated. I want him to be able to focus. But not be blah. It seems like it took his happiness."
