What you would know immediately is whether that drug is unsuitable. Our DS could not tolerate stimulant ADHD meds; took four trials to find the right med and dosage, with some unpleasant effects in the trial phase. Because of this experience, I agree with you about not wanting to start during a high-stakes testing time-- Mich is right, now is a good time, when all else is stable and you can see what he does at school.
