adderall

Haven't posted here in a while. Last time I asked about adderall. It's not that he is on, it's the pill form of procentra. It's called dextro something. Since we've started crushing up the abilify instead of the liquid, he seems to tolerate it much better. He is doing much better in school...

So E has been taking Vyvanse for a few weeks. he is taking around 12-15mg every morning. It's hard to tell exactly how much because of the way it's dissolved and measured out. But most days I'm able to get his dosage pretty good and he does well on it. But it wears off after 9 hours and he is CRAZY...

So of all the problems difficult child has, he has now started stuttering. Never had a problem with it before. The stuttering started after we reduced his short acting adderall from 10mg in the am and 10mg after school time to 5mg both times and for the last month has been on 5mg only in the morning. We...

Hi everyone. I just found this site as I feel like I'm losing it with my daughter and have nowhere else to turn. I'm sorry if this jumps around, but my mind is a jumbled mess! My daughter is 11 and is turning our home into a living nightmare. I am a single mother of her and I have a 4 year...

Hi, I am the adopted mother of 2 boys aged 12 and 10. My 12 year old has bipolar and adhd. He is fighting and not during well in school. He walk through the house as if he is the boss and you better not say anything to him. He has been hospitalized several times for behavior issues. He...

Its a long story but I will get straight to the point. My boyfriend's niece is a difficult child, she is 14 years old and has showed signs of being bi-polar since shes a young child. Her parents had her on a low dose of prozac and she seemed to be doing great. 4 years ago she was taken from the parents and placed...

kt has a psychiatrist appointment this afternoon. As many of you know she starts at a high school this coming fall .... in a level 3 self contained setting. However, there will be a push for a more mainstream for kt if tolerated. Now we've done the medication merry go round over the years & finally have...

Hello All, My son is almost 15 with the diagnosis schizo affective disorder sub type BiPolar (BP), asperbergers, and conduct disorder. My son has just completed 9 hours of nueropsych testing over 3 days by his psychologist with results this Wednesday. My son has an IEP in place and is failing Special Education but will...

want to call it. Now, darnit, Dylan was doing pretty good emotionally, even off the medications. He was very, very hyper. Very, very off focus, no attention span at all, but he was OKAY. Yesterday afternoon started the Dexadrine. He's taking 10 mg. at 8 AM and 2 PM. He took his yesterday PM dose, and...

Whoooooooooo, Buddy! I haven't been here for a while! I missed you guys and, unfortunately, have to come back with a sack of problems. First, some good news... I got a promotion at my job! Hooray! Bad news...I may not be able to keep the position (or my job, for that matter) if my difficult child doesn't...

My daughter is 14 ADD, not a lot of problems except disorganized, my 7 year old son is another story, he has been on Focalin XR15mg for about a year now, and school time has improved almost 100%(grades and behavior) BUT before and after school is a complete nightmare, he will not listen to...

Hello everyone, this is my first time here. I found this site looking for some support for parenting children with different diagnoses. Here is a quick history of my 10 yr old son. 1. Having issues since 6 yr old, noticed some severe depression, found out he was mildly sexually abused about 1...

Hello! My 5 yr old son has been recently diagnosed with ADHD/ODD and has been on Adderall now for 4 days now. He always tested the limits and rules, but since being on the medication, his defiance for me has gotten a lot worse. If I attempt to give him a consequence for a bad behavior, he...

:whiteflag: Ok I'm new to the site. So not really sure what I'm doing. I have a ten year old daughter that has pushed both me and her father to past the breaking point. She was a really easy baby but then at 2 she changed over night. We thought at first it was the "terrible twos" and that...

I know this has probably been a topic here many times - but I think I need a refresher. I would love to hear about ANYTHING (programs, counseling, medication, diet, vitamins, etc.) that has worked for your child when it comes to opposition and defiance. Is there anything that eliminates this...

Well...I apologize for not having the exact wording this go round but...... EEG showed my son does have aggression ..and when I asked if it showed adhd he just said it shows the abnormality ( which in 5% of cases can give a false reading BUT in my sons case with the actual violence/ defiance...

This entire year of school (since September) I have gone back and forth with writting a formal letter to request an MFE for my 2nd grader. After being diagnosed (for the 2nd time) with ADHD and then Dyslexia in June, I did meet with the school in September to ask for the MFE but was denied...

Hi, My son was diagnosed with ADHD in the beginning of Dec, and we're exploring our options. I truly believe that he has ODD as well, but it hasn't been diagnosed. He's had previous bouts of soiling, and it's now re-occurring. He just turned 8, and over time, his performance in school has...

After yet another morning of fighting with one of my children, I googled ODD and was extremely depressed to find that they fit every single behavior perfectly. I'm laying it out here because I'm just so frustrated and I need help. I have a daughter who is 8 and a son who is 6, we are long past...

Ok, I just posted this and it erased it so now I had to totally had to retype this..just add to my **** day, please.. difficult child has been doing really well lately, or so I thought. He has been having stellar reports from daycare and has been really good at home. This week has been off. He's been...
