Haven't been in the Newsgroup lately. I am currently getting a new provider
and do not have my mail.address on file yet. Will be back there when I get
it. We are also currently beta testing a software and my BBS took a fall.
So I have been too busy to read and post here.
Would like to throw this at ya though.
Jeremy has been doing good on Ritalin. Although his behavior is getting
out of control (much worse) when it wears off about 9 pm. Still is having
sleeping problems. I did twice give it to him late in the day and that
did seem to help him get to sleep earlier than 3am. Two questions for ya:
Can Ritalin help some sleep? He is only still on a very low dosage.
I heard that sometimes when first starting Ritalin when it wears off the
behavior can get worse until the Ritalin stabilizes in the body. Is this
true?
5mg twice a day is all he takes and it is doing a fairly good job. With no
side effects, unless he forgets and eats something with Tyramine. That did
happen once and he got a severe headache for several minutes. I believe it
was a banana. The headache lasted for 15 minutes and then gone.
I'm thinking that if it helps him sleep maybe 3 times a day on that dosage
would be good. Just wondered if you heard of that.
