Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Hi again, My son is almost 7, so he took Adderal during his 1st grade year. He took a whole tablet in the morning (5 mg), but the activity level was up again by 1 pm. We tried giving him 2 tablets in the morning but he developed some scary tics. We went to 1 tablet in the morning and a half tablet after lunch at school. That seemed to get him through the school day. When I said we was hurting himself and others, when he did not have the meds he was constantly running, spinning, bumping into furniture and people, contantly bruised and cut. His imulse control was nil nad he would tackle his younger brother, quite often injuring him. He has broken chairs, toys etc., not out of aggression, just wild behavior. this is much improved, but the stimulants help him concentrate so much, that he can perseverate even more on his favorite topics! i curse the man who invented Pokemon! Good luck an d keep me posted on your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
