Our daughter just started on adderall.
She is seven and struggling with 2nd grade. She was diagnosed with ADD a little over a year ago. We attempted to help her keep it under control with diet and modified study but it has become apparent she is struggling greatly and just passing. The last thing we want to happen is for her to get discouraged and fall behind.She is taking 1 dose of 10mg before leaving for school. We cannot see a major difference when she gets home but that's 8 hours after taking the medication. The teachers say they have not noticed a change, but she has only been taking it 3 school days.
Would someone mind telling us their experience. How long does it take to make a difference? I was under the impression it was almost immediate, or does it need to build up in your system?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
