It has become completely clear that the cocktail of medication is no longer working. I'm not sure why this happened but the last 5 to 6 weeks have been just awful! difficult child is very irritable, nasty and explosive and we've had several violent and destructive episodes. We had to call the police 3...

It was too good to last. In fact, over a week too long. The first three days were okay, but moving on up to 2 wks, boy, oh boy, what a cranky, mean boy! Luckily, we had an appointment with-the psychiatrist yesterday, and he listened to the symptoms and the explanations (the drugs stores ran out, difficult child is always mad...

Attention deficit disorder of childhood with hyperactivity Other Specific developmental reading disorder ( he asked if I happy with his reading I said could be a lil better and he starting title 1 tutoring- so after my sons starts he want results) Academic underachievement disorder of children...

We saw psychiatrist yesterday because the Focalin easy child is taking doesn't seem to be as effective as it used to be. I could have sworn easy child was already on the highest possible dose of Focalin, which is 10 milligram pills twice a day. I thought psychiatrist would have to try something else with him, but instead he...

I talked to the psychiatrist just now about how difficult child is still really depressed. She's not going to school, is in bed all day, feels nothing is worth doing, doesn't see friends, etc. She's been on Celexa for 6 weeks and it hasn't been helping at all. She's been on 20mg. He said we should try 30mg. He...

I thought today would be better than yesterday, I was wrong. My DS had only been at school for 30 min, and I received at call for me to come pick him up. He actually left school (he is 6 yrs old). The teachers were inside the school looking for him. But he had made outside the back of the...

Ever since we stopped his Concerta and have tapered off his Intuniv it has been beyond AWFUL!!! I don't know what to do. We cannot live like this another day. The only ADHD medication we haven't tried is Straterra. Should we at this point? It isn't going to solve anything quickly. I am so beyond...

Hello all!! Well, we finally got through all the red tape and months of evaluations etc. and to the psychiatrist. Began AdderallXR at 10mg yesterday. Tweety Bird slowed down quite a bit. Actually watched a little TV because her neighborhood friends couldn't play right away. She was more manageable and wasn't...

Does it get better with time? The tiredness? I ran into the counselor from elementary school who we have become close friends. She said difficult child called her last Thursday and told her how Adderall "changed his life". She said he sounded wonderful. However, I see an exhausted kid who doesn't...

just want to make a long story short as I need advice or at least have an idea of what to expect. My son freaks out when he doesn't get his way to the point where he is calling me names and screaming at me. About two weeks he was Baker Acted for attacking me. Yesterday he got mad at me...

Well I been trying to feed him breakfast he eats a lil or not at all. Lunch he doesnt even eat half his lunch, same with dinner is less half or none. I know this is why he feels nausua from the Adderall Xr and now the Clonidine! Im trying sooo hard to get him to eat- Im letting him eat almost...

I can't seem to find any info on this. Does anyone know? I told Bubby he has to go to school tomorrow and he is freaking out. I called Children's and confirmed we are on the list for when they have an opening. I keep second guessing myself about that. I am wondering how much to tell school...

I have a 7 year old son who is very defiant and aggressive with me. He has been diagnosed with ADHD and is on Adderall. I have tried a lot of different counseling and am now seeing an attachment counselor. She thinks he has insecure attachment but not Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). The attachment approach is a lot...

The psychiatrist is leaning towards Concerta. I asked earlier about this, I just wan tmy ducks in a row prior to heading tin there. I hate being ill prepared. I know several of you mentioned the crash. How long does the medication work? And, what happens when it wears off? Am I going to be dealing with...

difficult child is medication free for a week and two days and she's very unstable. She goes from angry to sad so quickly, nobody could keep up. This morning she was hitting herself in the head. She was saying that she thinks she's going mental She was getting this very strange look in her eyes. She was...

Hi all ! It has been a while. Hope all is well. Thank you Jules for your message. I really nice to know how much people care on this site. Things are bad, real bad. difficult child is now 14 and in 7th grade. He is going thru typical teen behavior & his Gfgness is over the top. He is currently suspended from...

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...

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...

Hi all, I joined last year and got some excellent advice with my 6 year old regarding sensory issues. Occupational Therapist (OT) has not significantly helped in school, although we are loving progress we see with Occupational Therapist (OT). Our Occupational Therapist (OT) went out of network so we have to wait til we're in a better financial spot to afford it and can...

My 11 years old aspie attacked his 17 years old sister and used a kitchen knife to damage dining table and threatened to stab himself. I called 911 and had them bring him to the hospital. After waiting 4 hours here, without even seeing the resident psychiatrist, thru the social worker, the...
