As a parent of a grown ADHD child we have struggled with the drugs losing effectiveness problem for years. One drug will work for a while, then issues like tics, physical, or verbal will start manifesting. What I found works for my kid was changing medications frequently, it seems to work well at avoidoing the tics and tolerance. Melatonin for sleep worked great for years. Now that our child is an adult, he finds the he can self regulate his meds well, he only takes them on days when he needs some extra horse power. And he uses Vyvanse for extended study periods and dextroamphetamine for short periods like tests. Honesty I don't know how most parent cope. My wife is a psychologist who is trained in these issue and its still HARD. Weight gain is still an issue, so make sure you give them everything they can eat, I used to make malts every night. Which was great for him, not so good for me!
