MomJulie our son also is 9, peti mal sz. he has issues at school with test, and foucing on the task at hand. Also on depokote er - he has been on this med for 2yrs now....works good other than it really slows him down. I know how you feel....can't really help much with suggestions - but work with the school/teacher on any issues that comes up. Do not wait for the school to contact you. Good Luck! and contact me any time.
