Well, we've been on Ritalin LA for 3 1/2 weeks now. First 10 mg., then 20 mg. and now 30 mg. The only change I see is that he is getting MORE inattentive. Not spacey, just doesn't focus or pay attention. I mean he REALLY doesn't pay attention. It's been a horrible struggle to get anything done. Late afternoon and evenings are the worst. I haven't gotten the report back from school yet.
Does anyone have a bad experience like this with Ritalin LA and what did they prescribe next? Unfortunately, this was only one of two meds that can be sprinkled on food - my son can't swallow pills well (he's 7). I guess we'll have to practice.
Adderall XR can also be sprinkled on food....as well as Metadate CD....and Methylin comes in a chewable formula as well as a solution.deang00838447.6951851852
