adderall

Hello all, I'm new here. So obviously that means I'm stressed out, feeling helpless, and really confused what is going on with my child. I figured at least a few of the codes out so here goes. difficult child is a super smart just turned 6yo. He was the most alert baby I had ever seen (he was actually...

Help I need some advise from parents who have been there. My son J is in Kindergarten and is being violent towards adults and is destroying school property in his classroom. When J started school in November (after his discharge from the phospital) we had a behavior plan in place and outside...

Hello, I am still playing phone tag with the Neruodc to schedule testing. Up until a few days ago I didn't think difficult child would be able to test because of DEX (d for dumb) not giving permission. Ex in laws put enough pressure on him that he gave his consent! Now difficult child's psychiatrist wants to change difficult child's...

I have been slowly weaning my daughter off the Abilify. Today was one of several good days we have had in the last week. She actually was helpful and got right up this morning, called out I love you and made it to the bus early. I was almost afraid to say anything because I don't want to jinx...

She started out on Metadate, then Focalin. I told the doctor that while she was less hyper, she sure was nasty. We explored bipolar again, and agreed to try Abilify. Does this build up, or fast act like a stimulant? I'm not quite sure I notice much of a difference in her behavior, but she has...

It's been a while since I've posted. My son was taking 10ml of abilify in the am and 5ml in the afternoon. It was in liquid form. He was also taking procentra. Both were working well until he started getting a strong dislike for any form of liquid medication. He started spitting them out. After...

Hi! I don't post here very often, but I probably should! My 6yo son has diagnosis of predominant Mood Disorder not otherwise specified, ADHD Combined, and ODD. He's been ron Risperdal .5 2x day and gained a few pounds the last few monts. He got a new psychiatrist, and he suggested we switch to Abilify. We've tried this...

My son was diagnosis as ADHD at age 4, he is now 8. We've been on all ADHD medications. Four weeks ago he was on Strattera-20 mg in the AM and Adderall 10 mg in the AM and 5 mg midday. We changed that recently to Strattera 20 mg AM and Ritalin 10 mg in the AM, 5 mid morning and 5 in the afternoon. The Ritalin...

Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I've been here. I have run out of ideas.... and need some input from all you experts out there. difficult child, m, 7 yo: diagnosis'd with ADHD combined type and ODD 2 years ago. We have tried: Focalin Adderall Vyvanse Bright Spark (www.nativeremedies.com)...

Ok, so it's only day 3, but so far so good Interesting, I give him the 18 mg tab in the A.M. with his Synthroid and Lithium. He's only been eating about 1/2 his 1 cup of cereal and saying he's full. Small lunch at school. Then he takes that Abilify at night with supper. And it starts. "Can I...

Any one with any thoughts.... Kens seizures (3) have followed rages or extreme anger.??? He states he has no memory or little memory. Today was " Mom, I just can't control me and I don't know why" Seeing P-doctor tomorrow behavior is very atypical of him...strange. Depakote= what have your difficult child's...

difficult child didn't like that the teacher sent her to in-house for the day for being disrespectful, so she had showed everyone, a fraction of what I get at home. They couldn't believe it, 5 school administrators, social workers and teachers couldn't redirect her. She cursed and screamed and tapped her...

That is what difficult child son was yelling at me as a very angry, wet (from the hot tub) came storming down the street. Then difficult child goes to a bush and throws something in it. Apparently difficult child had a lighter and was trying to light the bushes in the mans yard on fire! That was after he ran through the man's...

:whiteflag::whiteflag::whiteflag:I know I havent been here in awhile but things seem like they are just going worse and worse with difficult child. A few weeks ago he decided to run away from home, well we live in the country so he got like a mile from home and some people saw him coming out of the woods...

Does anyone know anything about this drug? Our 5 year old is on it and abilify. Nothing seems to help him and his impulsiveness. He throws fits about everything and litterly throws everything. Our easy child gets the brunt of it, hitting bitting and kicking from our difficult child 2. I need some...

Smallworld's comments on my Neuro-psychiatric thread made me want to post now about our psychiatrist apt yesterday. Our Neuro-psychiatric feels that K, once stable,she feels K is stable, could use a tiny bit of an ADHD medication. She feels of course that this is between us and our psychiatrist. She was highly recommended...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking in the shadows for awhile but have decided to finally show myself. I have a question about stimulants. My 13 yr old daughter is currently taking 15 mgs of adderall which works really well. The only problem is that she seems to metabolize it very quickly and she's...

Well i took my son to the doctors to get my referal to a Neuophy. He saw the same one in 2006 and that was when he was diagnosis with ADHD. But we have gone 2 years now in a behavior classroom and IEP's and just trying to get things together with no luck. No one can figure out my kid. He can have the...

I have this beautiful child whom both my husband and I adore, he has been in and out of Dr's offices here in Alaska. Needless to say we just don't have the help that the lower 48 has to offer. He was diagnosed with ADHD several years ago, started on Ritalin...total nightmare after 2 weeks. He...

Hardly know where to start. psychiatrist apparently finally saw the whole big picture today! History: Abusive Biodad and difficult child 1. difficult child 2 was diagnosis'ed BiPolar (BP) at age 9 (not 'official on paper'but treatment for it anyway) due to behaviors and mood swings, also put on IEP for emotional lability and dysgraphia.
