Hi,
My son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 16 after his CAMHS counsellor spotted symptoms. He's now 17 and we've just recently started on the medication path. He started a couple of months ago on Medikinet XL (Methylphenidate) 10mg, and after a month or so moved up to 20mg.
He says he hasn't noticed a difference but we've noticed that since he moved up to 20mg he has become increasingly irritable, short-tempered and just cannot stop talking. He's always been a little bit that way, but this is another level.
Is this normal and/or part of the process? Unfortunately, noticing this change in him followed our progress call with his consultant who has recommended an increase to 30mg, and he's now on holiday for 2 weeks so isn't available for us to contact.
Might the move to 30mg get us past this point?
Thanks, Bod.
