Well the Appointment went really well. The doctor was great. He agrees the Joshua is ADHD and his is now taking Concorta 18mg to start. He is also about 10 pounds under weight for his height. So he is drinking a protine drink about 3 times a day and that should help. One of the side effects of the majority of ADHD medication is weight loss. So we are concerned about that. So we are going to give the meds a few weeks before we up his dose the doc feels that it will need to be increased but wants to start him on the low dose first.
So After school today I went and talked to his teacher and he seemed to be a bit better. Of course it takes a few days for it to take full effect so we will see.
