Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 Listmates, I have a 6 y/o nephew dx'd ADHD who I believe has some asperger's traits as well. His main problem at school is difficulty focusing and sitting still, so he was started on Adderal last week. Ritalin made him groggy and another one (Tenex maybe) gave him palpitations. He gets the Adderal before school and after about five hours of focusing well he becomes extremely chatty, and of course, this doesn't go over well in the classroom. He talks nonstop to everyone including the teacher. Twice he became very agitated, and this is a kid who rarely gets behavioral. The doc wants to add a lunchtime dose of adderal to carry him through the afternoon. Anyone have any experience with this med. Any successful SSRI stories?
