adderall

My son just turned 16 and is out of control. Behavior over the last 2 years include stealing money from my wallet, sneaking out of the house and driving my car (with no liscense), staying out all night, hanging out with bad kids (like himself), likely selling pot and smoking it, pretty much...

Hey everyone. I need some advice. When my daughter (6) has her meltdowns/tantrums over anything and everything -what should I be doing? She will not stay in her room. She kicks the door if we close her in (I'm worried she might hurt herself). If we let her out around the house, she tries to...

Hi! My son just got prescribed Intuniv for his ODD. He was diagnosed about 4 months ago and fits every single criteria. Every symptom of ODD he has. I was so glad to finally get a diagnosis. We tried for months with therapy but decided finally to go the medication route as he was not even...

Hi My 12 year old son has been over the top silly for the last ten days or so, about the time that we switched to a new bottle of pills. Up 'til this point his medication regimen seems to have been working very well. Usually his small dose of Adderall seems to keep the silliness in check very well...

My difficult child 2 is our 8 yr 4 mo grandson. When difficult child 2 was 3 years old, his mom (ex-daughter in law) met someone on the internet and a couple of months later moved difficult child and herself to Minn to live. Since we all live in Texas, we have not been able to see difficult child 2 for the last 4 years. In October, ex-daughter in law decided to move...

I just got off the phone with difficult child's Bio-Mom. We're having issues with copays and authorizations on Vyvanse. I asked Mom if she had any Vyvanse left to get difficult child thru til Tuesday when we go back to the doctor. She said she had plenty of the 50mg pills left. This is her current prescription.. The...

difficult child 3 went into typical rage again last night and I finally had enough and called for an ambulance. He had been out playing with friends and suddenly called me from a cell phone (??!!) to ask for another 1/2 hour to play. I asked where cell phone came from he said "an older boy". That didn't...

I recently came upon your site while searching the internet for a place to gain some support. My family, friends, et cetera don't fully understand my frustrations, or my situation for that matter - and I'm at my wits end. So here's the situation. I have a 4yr old difficult child who has ADHD and ODD. He's...

I am at my wits end with my son. He has been on methylphenidate for about a year and a half now for adhd and it apparently makes a big difference at school. At home is another story. By the time he gets home his medications are wearing off and it is a nightmare. He'll kick walls, throw things, scream...

My son will be having a neurospych evauation in the next month or so, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I can expect from it. He currently is on Adderall XR for ADD, but doesn't seem to be addressing his other behavior issues.

I was wondering if you who have children who take stimulants to control their ADHD if you give them their medications on the weekends and holidays and summers from school?

difficult child has been on Adderall XR since October with a now 12 lbs weight lose. We saw a nutritionalist last week who said she thinks we need to see a developmental pediatrician as difficult child may have more going on (sensory issues, developmental delays, etc) than just lose of appetite from the medications. Well, she was...

I went to a very good child clinical psychologist today....Had the first parent interview/ background interview.....She did her phd in playtherapy and has 20 yrs experience....Wanted her to work a bit with my oldest son to help him with some cognitive skills to deal with his anxieties, social...

So my difficult child has lost a total of 11 lbs (from 66lb to 55lb) since starting Adderall XR in October. We saw a nutrionalist today and she believes difficult child has more underlining issues than just losing weight from the Adderall XR. difficult child even told her she doesn't want to gain weight but made no comment about...

I am new to here and to ADD parenting. My 18 year old son was diagnosed with ADD a few weeks prior to starting college. To make this short, we are still changeing and adjusting his medications. He has had, and still does have, sleeping issues. He is difficult to awaken. He misses classes and...

I am new to this site, and I am happy to make my first post! It is late, so I will get right to the point. We have anxiety/depression/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (and possible bipolar and ADHD) that run on both sides of our family. I myself have moderate depression/anxiety that isn't being managed very well at this...

Anyone have any luck with Vyvanse? My son's psychiatrist wants to try him on Vyvanse because Adderall is just not working for him. He's only on 10 mg daily of Adderall, but everytime we try to raise the dose, he gets very emotional and can get aggressive and mean. I told the psychiatrist that I know he needs...

This morning, at 9am, I gave Carson his second dose of Focalin (umm, expensive medicine). An hour and a half later he went BESERK. He was banging his PSP3 controller into the wall--leaving a hole. Because he wasn't doing well at his game. He was screaming and then crying. Hard to console...
