Ritalin for the first time!

Trying Ritalin today for the first time.  10mg this morning before food.  First success.. he swallowed the pills without making a fuss.  So far so good. 

He tried stimulants last fall, but was unable to tolerate.  This time we are not trying the long lasting type.  I want to know if we will see anything positive before we go for a full day coverage.

Wish us luck!

My son didn't have good luck with the long acting meds.  They wore off in the middle and he needed a booster.  We've had the best luck with the short acting type and we can give it to him every 2 1/2 hrs if we need to (he just metabolizes it so fast!).  You should see at least some results right away...good luck and keep us posted!
