ADHD and Concerta

[Tanya-Mae]

yeah, I'm very dissappointed with the level of “support“ (for lack of better term) from my team of doctors on this issue. I feel like I'm having to hound the pediatrican, cardiologist and pharmacist. I had the best response from the family doctor on this one.. and I was not even seeing him for Daegan, I just “picked his brain“ anyways.

thats too bad.. im assuming your not willing to drive to London either.. not sure if their dr. is taking on new patients.. i NEVER worry.. she has gone above and beyond so many times.. I know im VERY blessed as they are..I just wish everyone else I deal with in regards to them were as easy to work with /deal with.. esp. school./family...

Personally, I do not even hesitate to take my kids to the best resource.. regardless of where it is. I live in KItchener but am a regular at Sick Kids in Toronto. London is no different than Toronto as far as I am concerned... just drive west instead of east on the 401, lol. I actually was/am trying to get in to see Dr. Frid after hearing so mamy good things about her on the site but have just been told that I am out of the catchment area. I've been told to go to Hamilton.. but no further guidance as to where/whom in Hamilton.

It is wise of you to keep such good notes on any changes you're noticing. I hope the meds work and that whatever he is doing with his mouth is short lived.

ugh... took over 4hrs to out him to bed last night. On the bright side.. no flippin freak out, he just chattered non-stop listening to the radio.

Mine talked nonstop on Concerta too. I posted it on the millermom board too:
Learning Disabilities (LDs), ADHD and Education Support, The*SAFE*Site - First meds trial - Concerta. Here we go...

I joined the millermom board. Looks like a good resource!
