Well, my grandson was doing well for awhile, then we noticed the medication started to wear off in the evening around 5pm and he would get all wound up. He went back for a check-up and the doctor increased his medication slightly (he was on the lowest dose). This just happened so we don't know if it will make a difference yet. But my question is- if his body continually adjusts to the increased doses, will he just keep getting higher and higher doses and what happens when he reaches the limit? Another question-he is complaining of  frequent headaches (taking Concerta).  And complaining of noises bothering him like alot of people talking at the same time in restuarants. Dr. was concerned and ordered a CT Scan of the head which was normal. He said the medication shouldn't cause headaches. His eyes were checked and he has 20/20 vision. He does have alot of allergies and asthma, tho he hasn't had a flare up of asthma in a long while. His Dr. thinks he may have migraines. Isn't he young  to be having mgraines? And are headaches related to this medication? His step- brother takes medication for bipolar and ADHD and complains of headaches on a regular basis.

hey char, I know that it may sound crazy, but have you thought about a chiropractor for the HA's?  I've had a number of pt's who complain of similar symptoms, have had the same negative result exams, and tried a "back cracker" and said it worked great.  He may just need an ocassional adjustment...

 

just an idea.

Wow-that is something I would never have thought of. Very strange. But we may get to that point.
