Whats Your Experience With ADHD Medications?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Los Angeles, CA

My son just started ritalin and I'm not sure if it's working. He doesn't seem that much calmer. Then after it wears off (doctor only has him on a 4 hour one right now) he starts to get really angry all of a sudden. It's hard to know if it's working or not. Ugh

Corsicana, TX

Hi we have a 12 boy with High Functioning Autism. Recently found out that he also has ADHD. Doctor is having us try Quillivant XR (methylphenidate HCI)because it is liquid and he doesn't do well with pills. Has anyone else used this? Wondering how it worked and possible side effects?

What I like about Ritalin is that you can see the results right away, and it is very clear if it works or not. I would be cautious about med results based on general population however. For ex… read more

You might talk to your doctor about Vyvanse and this over the counter product called Behavior Balance. Amazon and Vitamin Shoppe have it.

These seem to help.
