My son has been treated for ADHD for 12 years. He's been on both kinds. The only difference with the regular is that he will need to take it twice. With Kevin, it was just a matter of him not wanting to go to the nurse at lunch time for the pill. You will need a a note from the Dr. for the nurse to administer the second dose. Some kids have a problem with peaks and valleys with the regular. It takes 30 minutes to work, works for a couple of hours and then stops working and they need the next dose, same cycle again. The pharmacy should not have given you the regular if the Dr. wrote for the extended release. |
