My first reaction was WOW on the first day. It was slightly less the following day and tapered of to ok within a week. I think at least 2 years passed before I had a crying episode. I was a wierd rush of emotions all at once. I was reading in a group and the subject matter which was familiar to me struck me like never before and I got all choked up. I never cry in front of people if I can avoid it, but this stuff flowed uncontroled. I've had a few like that since then, I think for me it simply heightened my awareness, and if I become more aware of stuff that saddens me... like school or homework, or stuff that makes me mad... like school or homework, or stuff I'm afraid of... like school or homework.
What you mention about this stuff taking time to kick into the system & not in one dose, that is true of many anti-depressents, but a drug like adderall will kick in as soon as its in the system. Hope all goes well, keep the doc informed and maybe help him think of cool good stuff when he starts bumming out. peace
7 year old son began with 5 mg yesterday and 5 mg today. but yesterday he was very down and out and this morning crying alot more than normally. I believe this drug takes time to kick into the system not just one dose... maybe he is coming down with a cold. anyone experience immediate reactions to this drug? I of course cannot wait for the weekend to see myself if this down and crying continues all day or just has to do with school and homework.
