hi Jennifer, it will get better..promise. I just wanted to add that my 12 year old (late- onsetter) is on the same dose as your daughter. Her 17 ohp came back 248 ng/dl this time. Your daughter may not need as much as she is taking, I would push to find out the lab results. Get copies of the stim test they did and all the lab work since then. I will bet they are trying to get her 17 ohp into the "normal" range. They tried that with my daughter too, she gained weight very quickly. Good luck and take care.
