My son just started Adderall this week. The first few days went reasonably well besides the crash, which was really bad. I am trying to fine tune things to minimize that but am a little confused about what's happening.
This morning he got 15 mg XR at 7 am. He was very focused all morning (super duper hyper focused, to be more precise) but agitated and bossy. (This is the third day -- he was great -- no agitation in the am the first two days). What's up with this? Does this mean we should raise it or lower it?
I gave him 7.5 mg of quicker release at 3:00. At 3:30 he became incredible hungry, and pigged out. At 4:00 he turned into a little angel (no irritibility, no oppositionaliry -- different from the morning). I expect a bad crash later.
What's going on here? How do I get these good results *all day long*?
THanks,
Shadey
