My 6 yr old was recently diagnosed with ADHD. We have been doing several things to help him but I still feel very lost in the whole process. He just stared Concerta XR (18 mg) last week and so far we have see no significant changes. I was under the impression we would see a noticeable difference shortly after started the medication but this has not been the case. His teacher stated that had she not been told he was on the medication that she never would have noticed a difference.

In addition to medication we have shifted his diet to a more protein rich one and added Omega-3 supplement. These resulted in very minor differences.

Not sure what to expect going forward...
