He is on a time-released pill so it's just taken once a day. He has done extremly well on it. I won't go into details about his behavior but I will say he has it so bad we have had police involved many many times in the past. I could not funtion as a parent without Adderol and my son cannot function without it.

Great response. I've heard horror stories about over and under medication and it's nice to see some first-hand feedback.
