I was shocked to hear that your childs docotor wouldnt lower medication, MY son has been diagnoised with add also. HIs doctor is totally letting me call the shots. We have tried 5mg, 10mg and 15mg going back to 10mg seems to be a happy med. I felt very strongly about no med at all , but listening to other peoples stories of thier children helped me . NOw as i type this message he is quietly playing with his sister making a fort and no arguing, or trying to find the right words to explain what he means, and alot less frustration for him throught the day. I recomend you explore all your options and what is available . MY son takes adderall it lasts 6 or so hrs, i have noticed no difference in his eating,or sleeping, and if i did i would feel he was over medicated. So i strongly feel if you think your son is a zombie at school, then you are your sons best advocate, and you should do what you feel ,find out what ever you need about it(medication) and let the doctor hear what you have to say, maybe you need a new doc,
