Honey is in his second month od Adderall XR. We have been very lucky, there are really no side effects at this point. He is eating very well, (maybe a little too well) his behavior has improved, his last report card was very good. The school said he is following directions better than he had in the past. He has also passed a few milestones, like trying to learn to tie his shoes, and zipping his own jacket. I think he is doing great. ;D ;D
The problem is that his doctor said of we wanted to we could try some other meds to see if we get even better results. She left it totally up to us. I guess I wonder if I should mess with a good thing. Why fix it if it is not broken? Or maybe she is right, maybe he could have even better results on something else. I don't know. I also don't know what else he could take since he cannot swallow pills yet. Adderall is nice because it can be put in applesauce.
I really need some advice on this. Like I said she left it up to us, but we don't know. Thanks...Becky

) then I would also continue with your current med ... as you say "If it isn't broken - don't fix it" !! Maybe you will find at some point in the future that a change would be a good idea - but right now - especially as it is so helpful to be able to sprinkle adderall in apple sauce my advice is stay with this for the moment ....
