My 9yr old is on a low dose fast acting methylphenidate twice a day and it’s not cutting it anymore, honestly I don’t know if it ever really was but he didn’t get bad side effects so I was willing to deal with it.
I wanted to look into jornay and wondered if anymore has tried it for their kids? Curious how long it lasts during the day, side effects?
We are struggling with 5/6pm baseball games and practice, he’s in lalaland and it’s so hard to watch. His coaches know that’s “How he is” but it’s to the point he’s losing good positions cause of it and I feel like it further reinforces the “I’m not good enough” feelings. Doc has suggested Zoloft in the past and I can’t bring myself to do it, and I’m not even sure why. Hes got a doc appt this week but always like the insight from this group. Thanks!
