My 12-year-old son has been on Intunive ER for 2 years. He was started on 1 mg which has been working great. We saw a much calmer, less fidgety child, better sleep habits, and improved social and executive functioning skills. These past few months we have seen more inattentiveness and fidgeting going on. His teachers are also reporting more chatty behavior and rushing to get schoolwork done with several easy-to-avoid errors.
Could this just be puberty, normal behavior or a need to increase the dosage?
Any suggestions on how to address this with a 12 year-old boy to have him truthfully tell us what and how he is feeling?

We had to completely redo my grandson meds, which had worked perfectly all through grade school, once he hit middle school. It was suddenly like he wasn't on anything, constantly disrupting classes. Took awhile to get him back on track, too. Talk to his doctor and good luck.
