Hi All, It’s my first time posting. My son was diagnosed in March and put on Medikinet xl 10mg. No issues, put up to 20 and initially no issues but after about a month he became more aggressive and his fixations got worse (not sure if asd as well, but docs won’t diagnose that) she put him up to 30mg and when he got home from school it was like a personality change. He was so violent that I stopped it as I was worried. The doctor has changed it to elvanse 2g. First day was hideous he was in such a state, but I gave it him again yesterday as they say to give it some time and he was better (although anxiety still elevated) but he’s hardly slept. I just don’t know what to do for the best. His doctor seems to think medication is the answer and previous to medicating he was difficult and maybe had one meltdown a week but currently they’re daily and he just seems so sad. It’s making me ill with worry, I just don’t know how to help him. He’s significantly behind at school. He’s 6 and can write a handful of words but not a single sentence independently. He’s very good at mechanical things so I’m sure he will go into that when he’s older as long as he has his basic maths and English. He also has fixations. Currently whistles so our neighbours must hate us. And I have to keep swapping whistles and their rings over. He’s very clingy at the moment too. I literally do not know how we can carry on as it’s breaking us as a family. He’s such a lovely boy and I only want to do what’s best for him but I feel like I’ve lost him at the minute. I just don’t know what to do.

I can't imagine how difficult this is for you.
Whereabouts are you?
