Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 My son was on Adderall for about 8 months. It did wonders for his activity level, but it was not 100%. The worst problem was that it killed his appetite. He has all sorts of self-imposed rules about eating anyway, and the poor kid lost a pound this school year. That's a lot for a kid who is only 40 lbs. to start with! In June we switched to ritalin and he gained a half pound in a week. He still has a terrible disposition when he's coming down- very oppositional and negative, but without it he's a whirling dervish and hurts himself and others. Good luck. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
