"we switched on the advice of the then new adhd therapist.  it took longer to &quot;kick in&quot; and build up than other meds we tried but it has been a god send.  his grades are way up and he&#039;s not as hot or cold as he used to be.  my only issues are he won&#039;t eat while on it...not even a tiny bite.  dr is keeping an eye on the weight.  also, to me, he&#039;s not himself.  i don&#039;t like the flatness because his personality is so big!  at least it wears off!"
