Hi sir,
Welcome to health care magic,
I can certainly understand your concern about your son's behaviour. First of all from the details provided by you I would be able to notice that there is some disruption in your family dynamics that your son is staying with you half of the days and with his mom the remaining half in the week. Being a
psychiatrist, I can tell you that this could one of the reason for his behaviour and hid
ADHD symptoms, for which the doctor would hav prescribed Aderall
I would like to know some deetails about the drug dosage and timing , as this is an actually brain stimulant (
amphetamine),which may activate your child, interrupts his sleep when he takes before bed .
if you find a drastic change in his behaviour, you can switch to Other Drugs which are both safe and effective ,I can suggest you non- stimulant drugs like
atomoxetine or
clonidine.
I can also suggest you some behavioural therapy, if your son is having only mild symptoms so please provide the details about his hyper activity behaviour, inattention in class, not waiting till his turn etc, so that I will be able to help you, you can also consult your psychiatrist for further information
please post your further questions if any
thank you
