>Thank you HenryO. YOu have some valid points about possible "mental pain", etc. My son was suffering all weeekned from stomach pains so this mornining I took him to a regular doctor who weighed him and got out her guidebook and sure enough, my son had been given a much too high dosage adn the stomach pains were the result. He weighs 87 pounds and his starter pack was for 40mg then to move to 60mg. Doctor gave me a new kit, start on 18 then go to 25mg. I will try that before giving up. My son was "diagnosed" and prescribed after only 2 thrirty minute visits to a psychiatrist. is this normal? Its all new to me. And no, the pills cant be cut as they are capsules and too fragile. I knwo he is young to be on pills but I have waited years, trying everything else. His moods are so up and down and his incesstant (sp?) talking will soon affect relations with his peers, it certainly has negatively affected his school work. I am still confused, dont know what is wrong, is it ADHD, ADHD AND ADD, ADHD and clinical depression....AGH! Agaian, thanks for responding, I appreciate any advice I can get.
