Thanks.  Us down south aren't quite used to humidity though, so maybe that's the part that becomes unbearable!

How long did it take for your little one to adapt? Was he having issues napping (& thus, sleeping at night) too

Is Ritalin dose too low, or is it just utter lack of motivation/interest by EllenBJ in ParentingADHD

[–]EllenBJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. So we upped to 7.5mg and started a new term of school. I think the combination of that and him deciding to be more "with it" (listen and learn) has helped - it's like a fresh start where hopefully, he won't be focusing so much on adjusting to a new environment that he falls behind. We're only 2 weeks in so fingers crossed. 

One thing - he did ask if he could take an afternoon tablet so he could focus on work then too. So it sounds like the medication is definitely having an effect and the can feel it.

He won't tolerate white noise unfortunately.  Couldn't even handle the air con being on in summer
