He seems to be doing fine on it but the teacher just told us that this week he still seems to be needing redirecting. He is on 36mg and I don’t want to go any higher. He was on Adderall and that worked the opposite way it was suppose to. He is working really slow in school and his teacher doesn’t know what to do about him being so slow.
