Finding the most effective ADHD medication for your particular brain chemistry is — unfortunately — still a process of trial and error. It’s rough, but don’t give up — at least not without reading these solutions to common problems with ADHD medication.
Stimulants affect the area of the brain that induces sleep. Skipping the 4 p.m. dose may help — but not at the cost of symptoms becoming unmanageable. If you find that this is the case, try this experiment. With your doctor’s permission, add an 8 p.m. four-hour tablet. A small dose of stimulant helps some ADHD patients fall asleep. If the experiment fails and you or your child still can’t fall asleep, your doctor might suggest Benadryl. Many find that a small dose of melatonin helps with sleep.
It is essential that emotional-regulation problems be treated promptly. A doctor will often prescribe a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor to treat these disorders. Then the stimulant medication can be reintroduced without causing difficulties. Medication might be needed to address tic disorders as well.Educate your child about the medication he is taking:
Don’t tell him it’s a vitamin pill. You will have a hard time building trust later, when he finds out the truth. Explain what ADHD is and how it affects his life. . Explain that he might experience side effects, but that they will be dealt with by you and his doctor. Your child will be more cooperative if he participates in the process.In the case of a child with ADHD, if one parent feels strongly that she shouldn’t be taking ADHD medication and expresses that to your child, there may be a serious problem. If the child has conflicting views about the benefits of medication, he might stop taking it or question why he has to take it.
