As long as your son isn't experiencing any intolerable side effects, I'd hang in there - maybe even a couple extra weeks (to 2 months) before hanging it up, but that's up to you. Likewise, any med that does cause intolerable side effects should be reported immediately, and discuss a change.
You can always call your doctor and ask the question.

Thanks Doc! That's exactly the kind of information I was looking for. After four weeks in, we really hesitate to switch meds now. Based on your response, it sounds like there's still a possibility it will be helpful. I appreciate your help.
