DYK ironically, I read all of the fine print on the medication last night.

DYK the doctor had forewarned me about being tired, but I knew that should get better once he adjusted to the medication.

DYK one of the "serious side effects" is fainting.

DYK he didn't eat much for dinner last night, and was pouring cereal when he realized just how tired he was this morning.

dyk I have a folder of "fine print" for the medications that Abi, Dek and Sean take.

dyk I am glad you were right there with him too

dyk I've never fainted before!

dyk our pediatrician told us when we started on the ADHD med road, that these meds are very "personal" and that we may have to try different meds at different doses before we found the right med for everyone

dyk and we did -- we've taken a whole gamet of stuff -- and ironlcally, all 3 landed on the same one but in various doses -- except... now, Sean and Abi take the same 20mg XR and both take it twice a day... and both take a booster 5mg but Abi in the morning to get moving and Sean at night to extend until bedtime.

dyk remember I told y'all about Sean's jumping and jerking right when falling asleep?

According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine there are a wide range of potential causes, including: anxiety, caffeine, stress, and strenuous activities in the evening.[4] This strange falling sensation and muscle twitch is known as a hypnagogic myoclonic twitch or "Hypnic jerk". Close to 70 percent of all people experience this phenomenon just after nodding off, according to a recent study at the Mayo Clinic
