Weird Week - need advice | ADHD Information

My ds has been doing well with a Daytrana and Zoloft combo. He has
ADHD/Anxiety. This week his sleep has been a little off. He has had trouble
sleeping and either sleeps late or wakes up early. He is doing his
schoolwork and is calm afterschool, but in the morning he is not focused as
usual and is very irritable at school. He also obsesses over things that really
don't matter. Today it was a string he found in the hallway and didn't know
what to do with it. He is just a little off this week. Do your kids "cycle" like
this where they do great for several weeks and then have a bad week? Need
advice.Yes mine goes in cycles.  It is maddening because you just start to relax and there it is a bad cycle.  I think with school starting is knocking my son off his routine right now.  We are not having the greatest start this year and I know it is just the changes of school, new teacher, etc...  But he will do this cycle over and over all the time.  Mostly it is good longer than the bad, and it is never any one thing that I can contribute to this.  Except now that I can blame school for starting.  Aaron'smom39338.8509027778You know that the Daytrana takes 2-3 hour to get in his system yes? could that be the morning thing? also the change of routine does affect many. For the sleep, our doc suggested 2.5 -10 ( we use 5) mg of Melatonin at night. You might only need this for a short time, and in the smaller doses 3-5 mg is considered safe.
