My son has been on and off for almost 2 years now and we started on it when he was in 1st grade and now he's in 3rd we don't put him on it for the summer just for school purposes, but we tried other meds and they didn't work like Adderall XR 10mg a day. We were on 20mg way to much he wasn't active at all almost zombie like and very quiet, so we wanted him to still be a kid and be who he is, without taking that away. So, the dose that he is on now is working so far but you can definately tell when it is wearing off, he seems like someone else said very emotional and crying and agitated, I fell bad having him on this but if we don't his grades drop. He really has low self esteem too. He isn't hungry but he's able to focus and concentrate. The dr. says he has ADHA but I don't see the Hyperactivity? I see ADD. I recieved an article from a friend on bad things in children and adults who are on AdderallXR who have died. I am now concerned this is why I am writing this messge. If anyone wants the article I will be happy to email it to you, just email me ******
