I was wondering if anyone else has had any success with any of the ADD
meds with their 11q child. Brayden has about a 5 second attention
span and is constantly going from one thing to another all day long.
The neurologist thought we should start trying some medications to
help him stay a bit more focused in school. I know that many people
have tried the different meds, but I also know that many have said
that they did not really work. He is on a trial run of Adderol right
now, but I haven't noticed any difference and his teachers haven't
either. Any info about what works for other 11q kids would be great
to take back to the neurologist with me on our follow up visit.

Thanks,
Linzee
