You would think that I would be used to a life like this by now after having been born to a difficult child mother (no contact with her for the past 16 yrs) and giving birth to a difficult child son 8 1/2 years ago. But no. I am not used to it since peace and tranquility happen to be the life style I personally...
At the end of the school year Mr. I had been on an increased dose of Concerta. (36mg. up from 27) At the higher dose he had stomach aches, had stopped eating, (and I think growing too) and had periods of spacing out like he was over medicated. I convinced his parents to let me get a lower dose...
My difficult child is only 5, almost 6. Every interaction ends in a fight.
Ask him nicely how his day went...he gets annoyed, asks inapproriate questions, contradicts himself, lies.
Ask him to do something (please put on your shoes) and screaming, yelling, or maybe odd questions.
He asks questions...
I don't know if there is anything like that here, My friend in CT work with a compony who sends him to help with mainly kids, one adult with various issues, Autism, Depression etc, just to "spend time " with them. He is getting is Psychology degree. I know theres like Occupational Therapist (OT) who come but thats scheduled...
Well... he got up great, finished icing his cake for practice ( scouts) got dressed and by that time was fixing his backpack that he didnt fix yesterday. He always changes his mind the next morning anyway what he wants how how he wants it. So and by that time it was time to go to school and he...
Son is angry because HE wouldn't get out of bed and wouldnt get ready for school ( his sister finally did and went I posted under Californiablondes post wasnt going to make a new one Im sorry but Im shakin up so I made a new one). So he poured Windex and body washes in the sink, broke his door...
I had just sent a mass email about difficult child's medication changes to the teachers but wouldn't you know, I accidentally left this one off the list. Sigh. I responded by telling her that is unacceptable, on or off medications, and that he would make up the work.
Fingers crossed.

Good Morning,

:crazy2:We saw the psychiatrist today. difficult child wants to go back on lithium. He has been having side effects from Depakote and has also been really nasty, so he figures if he's stuck with-side effects, at least he'll be in a good mood. More or less. His hands have been trembling, so it's hard to write; he gets...
My son is 8 years old and needs help. I dont know where to start. What started with focus issues at school has become more of a behavior problem. At first I was against medicating but the school complained that he was being rude and disruptive. So I caved. Since then he has mostly been on...
Hi! I haven't posted in a few weeks, and still need to do my signature-sorry. :)
Loooong story short-my 8 year old who was dxd with ADHD and dysthemia in 1st grade is still struggling. He is on Adderall and Zoloft-neither of which is doing a ton of good. Anyway-with the sensory stuff and mood...
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...

So we went to the psychiatric today, and being that difficult child 1 was starting with 'tics' with the Adderall, and Adderall XR, the doctor has now put him on Methylphenidate. Anyone else's difficult child on it? We were told that it was a smaller form of ritalin? I was looking up side effects and they're still quite scary...
My son takes Adderall Xr and it works well from 8-4 but mornings and nights are a nightmare. We just started risperdal for irritability and mood swings(dr thinks possible bipolar too) but havent see any difference yet. I m desperated and frustrated!Should we try a 24 hrs non stimulant or just...
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...
So, difficult child started Adderall XR yesterday (5mg, low dose). His main problems, I think, are with impulsiveness and aggression towards other kids at school, and defiance towards the teacher in particular. Although his teacher and the school complain of his hyperactivity, I haven't noticed that much of...
