Increased Irritability and Sadness
I have a 13 year old son who was diagnosed with add over 5 years ago. He is also dyslexic. about 6 weeks ago he started using the daytrana patch. This is his first experience with medications. His appetite is severely affected and he is already skinny so he needs as much food as possible. He is generally a mellow and well behaved child and since starting the medicine he has been more irritable, defiant and at times sad. He told me that he can concentrate a lot better in school (and his grades are a good indication of that) but other than that he feels terrible.
he told me this morning that the medication makes him feel like he wants to cry. i need some advice. My son has a horrible time taking pills since he has never had to for anything else. What other medications work well? Any tricks for getting him to take pills if there is a better alternative that requires swallowing? any and all suggestions would be appreciated
