A child may HAVE ADHD, but it is not what they ARE. Never tell a child they ARE ADHD.
According to the dosing instructions that came with the Rx, 25 mg would be the proper initial dosage for my DS.
Yes, that is what it states, but they also recommend starting at 10 mgs, and working up slowly, 10-18-20-25 etc, until target is reached.
I guess it depends on what your psychiatrist feels comfy with.
I would give it a few more weeks, and possibly try giving it at night, unless you already are. DD had appetite issues with it, went from no appetite to eating normally within a few weeks.
