My ds is on Medadate (20mg) and I starting to notice some days toward the end of the day he seems to get cranky and crying and whiny about things.
Does this sound commom?
Thanks

I agree it could be rebound but it could be sleep issue stoo. I don't know what class of drug that is but keep in mind that if he is having any sleep issues he will just be more tired and cranky. Wyatt couldn't get to sleep and once he did it wasn't 'sound" sleep.
I agree with Diane V, the more exersice and good food you can put in him the better. it is rebound and can be manageable. If it is not managable then talk with your doc for options ,there are a few.yes it is probably rebound. Food can help a LOT with rebound. Try to provide high protein snacks around this time. We used to use caffeine for minor rebound like this. So a cup of tea, or hot chocolate, and occasional soda. Good aeorbic excercise also helps, so running around, riding his bike, jumping ona trampoline, something really physical
