The #ADHD Experiment: Day 4


Elliott has been on his #ADHD medications for exactly 4 days now.  Even at the low dose, he’s benefiting from it.

Obviously, he’s not really any less anxious but he’s more relaxed, at least physically.

He’s not bouncing off the walls until after the meds ware off, in the late afternoon.  He does seem to be happier and that feels good, not only for him but for me as his father.

The next step is to discuss possibly adding a maintenance dose.  So instead of taking one dose, we split it up, morning and afternoon. 

We still have to attack the anxiety but progress is progress and I’m so incredibly thankful that this is helping him.  As I mentioned before, I try to avoid the names of the medications simply because of where we live. 

I’m willing get to discuss details in private if you have questions.  Simply send me a message and I’ll get back to you.  :-)

About the author

Lost and Tired

I'm Rob Gorski and I started this blog in January 2010 as a means of sharing my family's real life journey raising 3 boys on the #Autism Spectrum. It's important for people to understand what Autism can really be like and the impact it has on the family. We aren't a TV show and there are no actors. This is our struggle, our journey...and it's all true. I am "Lost and Tired" and this is "My Reality #Autism".
