Please keep us informed, okay?
Also, my son is on Concerta and doesn't have to take it on the weekends or during breaks or summer. It is taken of a morning before school and is time released. Best wishes to you and your son. Were you saying your son does the same thing with his socks??

No difference first day. Second day, his teacher came to me and told me how wonderful he was. He was focused, did his work, no complaining that "he couldn't do it". It made me feel so good. Then, at the soccer game yesterday (5th game he's played), he actually made not one but 2 GOALS!!! I was so proud that he was so involved in the game. I didn't give it to him this morning and he's been more "active" so to speak. The only complaint he has is that his tummy hurts. He doesn't want to eat when he's on the meds so I have to make him put something in his tummy. Anyway, that's the update. Thanks for asking.

I have heard that with some of the meds it might cause them to not want to eat or just lose their appetite. My son takes Concerta for ADD and he eats all the time. I was worried though because they said he might not want to eat as much. He's was so tall and skinny, he couldn't afford not to eat, but it wasn't a problem. Can you imagine, just by us watching what they are going through, how rough it must be for them? My son is old enough now that he can tell if he is having trouble concentrating or not. I am just so thrilled that you and the Dr. was able to help him.

Wow, Kimberley! What a difference and it worked so fast! It must be such a boost for his self esteem, too.
And the thing with the socks... how interesting is that! |

I just now caught this thread. I don't know much about ADD or ADHD, so I don't know that I could have added much. BUT.....I'm very glad to hear that he's had a turn around in school & on the soccer field. It sounds like you did the right thing by taking him to the doctors & having him tested....now he can reach his full potential.

YAY! Kimberley, I am so excited to hear that you are seeing a positive change in your son! If the meds he is on now are hurting his tummy, you can talk to his doctor about switching to a different brand. Concerta hurt my tummy, so the doctor switched me to adderall and now I don't have any problems.
