I'm wondering if you have found the right med and or the right dosage. With my son, his personality remains in tact with the meeds, but his ability to efficiently do homework, use his strategies and attend to other tasks is noticeably better on meeds than not. He is also better able to follow conversations and refrain from off topic, annoying remarks.
You describe crying and other side effects that sometimes result from a stimulant. Have you tried other brands? In an ideal situation, the medicine would have minimum side effects and provide an appreciable difference in behavior. I agree with Grinity, it may be time to get on the merry-go-round. Best of luck,
