adderall

Hi, I just found this website and am hoping to give and receive advice as much as possible! My husband is in Afghanistan through May 2009 and we have a 3 year old (4 in April) son that is ODD, ADHD and possibly has some mood issues as well. He's been on a few different medications and we're currently...

I found this forum just a few minutes ago, and please excuse any typos, I'm a bit of a mess today. I guess I had to have reached my "bottom" before reaching out in this way, but as I'm sure many of you understand, I just cannot find the support, or just the ...words..I need to hear from...

It was another awful night last night, and again just before psychiatrist appointment today. Yesterday also difficult child had the "electircal shocking" feeling from going off Zoloft, he couldn't handle it, things happened at school, then home. Soo, school called Crisis intervention yesterday. Twice in one...

What do you do when your child won't stop talking? Me, I ignore him until I'm done talking and if I can't for whatever reason then I tell him I'm talking and he needs to wait his turn. How is that working you ask husband, stop talking, why? he says he forgets what he's trying to say because he can't...

Provigil didn't do too much for my son. We are now trying Vyvanse. It's supposed to be better for those who cannot take stimulants. Anyone tried it yet and with what results? B

Hi, my story is that we adopted our son from Russia at 9 months old. We knew right away that he was not a "typical" child. He never stopped moving. I use to kid about him being my on-the-go child. He talked early and with an incredible skill. He is bright, happy, full of joy at life. He is also...

My son is quite hyper but very distractable. Both of these are frustrating to parent (e.g. I send him to get his shoes on so we can leave for school and he forgets why he is upstairs and forgets to come back.) But the issues that are more difficult are the ODD tendencies and the MOST difficult...

In regard to the bedwetting, difficult child was dry three out of the seven days. A decent improvement since he was only dry one night the previous week on DDAVP (the DDAVP was stopped before the Focalin was started). His dryness seemed to alternate one dry night, one wet night etc. Since he's taking the...

I had to call the police on difficult child. He slaped my 4 year old in the face. I don't know what else to do with him. Please pray that I will have to strength to fight this fight with him.

There have been several times in the past year where I've wanted to post to this board, but I forgot to bookmark it, and couldn't find it again! Nightmare! As a background, I'm stepmother to an 11-year-old boy (12 tomorrow) with ADHD. He lives with us full-time. His mother has supervised...

I took my youngest to the ER this morning she has the stomach flu since monday so she was dehydrated so we have to give her supasatories well we were doing that and she is only 3...

Hello, i am new at this but need some ecouragement. This is my sons 2nd medicine in 3 months. Last week was his best week ever at school (according to his teacher). We are on Christmas break and he is so emotional. We have already lost about 4 pounds. The part i am struggling with is his...

This is the first time I have posted on here. Can someone tell me if they have ever heard of this. My ten year old son who has ADHD and ODD is completey obsessed with the weather, especially rain. If it is raining, he refuses to go outside. If is is not raining, he is constantly asking...

hi I am new to this forum, but not to difficult children. My oldest daughter was diagnosed Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and treated. She sees a psychiatrist and takes Abilify and adderall, However she never really got a diagnosis for her concurrent conditions. She is 18 now but still in high school and I am having a real problem...

Hi Everyone, I have been reading for quite awhile and have tried to get as much info from all of your experiences. My difficult child is my 16 yr. old daughter. Her problems started at 12 and a half, 2 months after starting 7th grade. Good student in elementary school, ballet lessons, soccer all that stuff...

Hi, I'm new here, so if I'm not posting to the proper place, I'm sorry. I've been googling for months for info that might help my son. He's 6 and ADHD/severe anxiety (ODD flows out of the anxiety, but he's not really your typical ODD kid). We've tried different medication trials for a year, and...

I was wondering if anyone gives their child or themselves a weekend break while taking vyvanse? I won't be seeing my dr. for awhile and was just curious. I know many who take addrall and ritalin give themselves weekend/vacation breaks. Thanks B

I am new to this site and wanted to post a brief introduction. My teenage son was just diagnosed with Conduct Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder - Recurrent/Moderate type with agitated features. We have been struggling for several months not really knowing what we are dealing with. Last...

Hello all! I just started my 7 year old on Aderall XR 5mg. I need advice on getting him to take the pill. I have split it open and sprinked it on yogort. Its been hard for him cause he is not used to it. Can I put it in milk? I didn't ask the doctor because I didn't think it would be this hard...

I am new to this, but I hope I can find some support from others dealing with similar situations as I am. I am a stay-at-home mom of two boys. My oldest is four years old and my youngest is seven months old. Somedays, I feel like my four year old is possessed! He will be nice and using his...
