Focalin XR

It took us several tries to find the right dose. Too high of a dose is as bad as not enough. We are on 20mg Focalin XR and use a booster of ritalin as needed. Several mornings, we use a booster while waiting for the Focalin to kick in. W tried adding Seraquel, but couldn't find a good dose. We have found in the last few weeks that keeping track of his behaviors has helped. M is 12 (younger mentally). We have 4 faces. If he gets a "pickle face" he loses stuff in his room, has extra chores and early bedtime. If he has a "thumbs up" day he has minimal chores, gets his stuff back and stays up 15 extra minutes. The 2 middle faces are regular chores and bedtime. We track it 2x day, because of when he was having problems. He puts the face on the calender and writes why it was a "pickle face" day. His teacher sends a note home with a # for his day. 1=good 4=bad.
