I took him off of it after a few short weeks, I did my own research and found that the mediceine was in the same drug class as cocaine, whicjh may be cool for some is NOT for my 8 year old son. He is 13 now and is doing just fine they do grow out f it.

Hey Hammer, you were prolly on the Adderall XR which is 1.5mg he was given d-amphetamine salt combo 7.5 mg tab which is 7.5 mg adderall Its on the bottle and if you goto google you will see the lowest dose of this form is 5mg which the doc said today as well which now to think of it wtf didnt they start him off at 5mgs. One of the sever reactions is rapid heart rate *shrugs*
as of tonight from the first dose of strattra 18 mg which I thought wasnt to start working within 3 to 6 weeks I have seen a complete turn around to a point. what I mean is normaly when I say no turn the games off or time for bed he freaks and starts crying he didnt do that tonight Nor when he was playing his game cube he wasnt standing and flinching and jumping up and down he sat down and played..
MAYBE ITS hopful thinking, but TOMORROW first thing in the morning IM going to call around and find somone who deals in nothing but adhd type of kids and start out with the day he was born up to now with that doc. thanks for the input and advice everyones advice is very helpfull
