My son (5) has been on meds for almost 3 weeks now. It's amazing how much his behavior has improved. He seems so much happier and can interact with us so much better now. He said that in school he feels like he can focus much better and follow directions. Before the meds it was almost impossible to have a conversation with him because he'd struggle to get a sentence out.
One day last week he didn't take his medicine before school and I got calls from three teachers about how he was throwing fits and just having a really hard time. When he got home he threw a MONSTER fit. After it was done I asked him what happened. He said that he was starting to get too many thoughts in his head and they were going too fast. It made his stomach and head hurt and he didn't know what to do. I'm sure that the medicine helps with that.
He hasn't been retested but they have moved him to a reading group two grades up and to a math class one grade up so I know that he's able to get his work in school done so much easier.
