Rx Day One

We met with the Dr yesterday and he really was very encouraging. He said that if the Dx is accurate and complete (meaning that there isn't another issue that we haven't yet realized) we should see some results quickly. The decision on where to start with meds was made mostly because we don't know if he can swallow a pill. So we went with something we can "sprinkle" (that's the very technical medical term the Doc used). So he'll get his first dose of Focalin XR (5mg) this morning. He said we should see pretty much instant results. So I'm supposed to call him Friday or Saturday to see how it's going. The side effects we're watching for are appetite suppression, sleep problems and increased moodiness.
