"My 8 yr old has been on the meds for 3 days now.  His teachers say he's doing great at school and he's a lot more focused and less compulsive. BUT... He complains of being tired the entire time, stomach pains, headaches.  I give him the medicine at 7:00 a.m.  By 4:00 its starting to wear off and he seems to be coming off a high. At moments hes pure goofy almost to the point I say psychotic moments.  He also talks to himself a lot. I don't know if I should give it a week or 2 to get in his system or stop it.  I understand he needs better focus and less compulsive moments at school but I love him more than to harm him with medicines. "
