Since starting Camdyn on Focalin XR, we've seen a enormous change in her behavior. She spends hours drawing, cutting, coloring. The odd thing is that most of what she'd draw would be the same thing over and over and over again. She would sit there listless, with a blank stare, and just sort of methodically draw picture after picture.
It was hard to watch her like that. Even Riley said she wanted the old Camdyn back. We stopped giving her that dosage and called her pediatrician, who then prescribed her a lower dosage. So far, it seems to take the edge off the hyperactivity.
One of the stacks of pictures she was mass producing.
Cute garland she made for the end of her bed.
So, we're trying to fine tune the dosage amount...find that balance. Camdyn has her team: family, her pediatrician, and her aunt (another pediatrician) supporting her.
It will all work out.

The change in "personality" was what we were worried with for Mason and part of why we opted not to try anything yet, I am hoping you find the right dosage.
I do have to giggle when I see your pictures of the kids in their undies, that is so like at my house... it is funny that it happens in other homes too... My kids, Mason especially are often running around in just underwear!
