Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 My 5 year old ADHD, PDD NOS son was put on Ritalin. He was on it for a month. I didn't see any improvement the first week, but after that he started to do extremely well. On the next visit I asked the Dr to prescribe him Aderal, because I like the fact that he doesn't need to take it twice a day. The first week was hard too, but now is doing really well, sleeps through the nite (he started that on Ritalin, and he didn't sleep through the nite in years). He is also so much more verbal because now instead using his energy on screaming and shaking and kicking he tries more to express himself verbally. I don't know on which medication should I keep him. They both seem to be working well on him. Anyone else has an experience with these 2 medications? TIA, Katarina, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
