Just a quick question my ds has ASD and ADHD and has been on medikinet 30mg once a day since June 2018. Today I eventually got an ADHD medication review CAMHS and feel fobbed off and unlistened to. They refused to increase his dose despite the fact he is struggling and is not suffering any side effects. They will contact school in a couple of months apparently and ask them if they think he is struggling. Fantastic except he hasn't been in school since December the 10th and even then was on half days three days a week!
Sorry that wasn't a quick question after all. He is 14 and 6 foot one just wondered what dose you children are on?

Hi - we are in the process of trailing Medikinet at the moment. Started about 5 weeks ago. Started off 10 - 30. No impact. Then did 40 for a few days (until we ran out of meds ) and we noticed some improvement. I am picking up a prescription for 50 tomorrow and hope that that dose will be the one.

He is 12 by the way.

Thank you thought he was on a fairly low dose he’s nearly 15 and taller then most men. I’m calmer today just annoyed me yesterday that my word isn’t good enough
