Then there would be the occasional hyper outbursts. I do think that Dex really hits the children very hard. The present dose of Dex results in her feeling very sad, impatient and emotional. The worst part is she keeps asking am I off the Dex yet ? She is aware, even at 5 years of age of the effect it has on her.
