He was 6 at the time and would go from being happy eating dinner and watching TV to crying his eyes out for no reason either of us could determine several times within an hour. I never want to put him through something like that again and I have never again let one of the doctors put him on any kind of Ritalin.
That sounds similar to a bad valium reaction - I had a friend in high school (and also a relative) who, if given valium or valium derivatives, would suddenly have long crying jags and anxiety.
But my family in general has iffy reactions to medication, which was part of the reason I was so hesitant.
